Perfect response!!

This breakfast looks like it’s going to be a beauty. Just need to fry a couple of eggs.

Today’s breakfast, based on the one in Jamie Oliver’s Superfoods cookbook. I didn’t think I liked black beans. I was wrong. They’re delicious.

This is really neat. #BritishHistory

Joking that I’ve become my Mom. She canned peaches, made jam, froze green peppers, corn and fruit. I’ve been canning peaches, making jam, freezing peppers and fruit. Just so long as I don’t start claiming that margarine is better than butter….

Making apricot jam today:

One batch of fruit for jam in the fridge til tomorrow - as the recipe calls for, one bag of beans topped and tailed and chopped for the freezer (two bags portioned out) and now dicing up 4 bunches of celery. All BC produce, too.

#gardening Feeling accomplished this morning. The only leak now is from the spray nozzle, and a hose washer might fix that. Took a little blood (literally - somehow forcing the end into the hose end left a few thin cuts) and some sweat (already hot out) but no tears.

Happy with my turnip harvest today. I’d planted 5 feet of turnips using the square foot method, harvested a few over the last week or two, & harvested off the rest today. Ended up with five small freezer bags (1-2 cups each) for soups. Planning to replant with the same, in hopes of a second harvest.

Picked three containers of raspberries and a bucket of peas from the garden this morning. Now I’m making raspberry jam. #gardening #cooking

#gardening 8 in the morning and it’s not all that cool. Harvesting the second bed of garlic today before the rain. Planning to transplant my squash starts in the first bed, and this bed will get cucumbers.

#gardening Just harvested my first turnips for the year. Also took a few celery stalks for the soup.

#photography #flowers #gardening Calendula at dusk in my garden last night.

#gardening Best raspberry harvest so far.

Raspberry harvest today (500g container):

Making a “throw it together” pasta for dinner. Never quite the same recipe twice, as it depends on what’s in the fridge. Today it’s onion, garlic scapes, prosciutto, leeks, mushrooms and tomatoes over rotini. I’m debating trying the egg/parmesan method from carbonara. #cooking #dinner

How my day is going. Hope your day is better. No real injuries thankfully, but I did need help getting out.

#gardening Learned today that nasturtiums are related to cabbage. Well, at least I now know what was eating them.

Egg white scramble with ham, peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes and cheese. If you’re wondering about the yolks, they were used in last night’s pasta.

Tried something new and delicious last night for dinner. Jamie Oliver’s spring greens ravioli: www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/past...

Light (and late) lunch today: a small plate of veggies with some homemade dip. There’s leftover dip for tomorrow too.

New garden bed growing nicely: #Gardening

Today from my garden: Lettuce, chives, spinach and Swiss chard.

#indexing Just figured out how to get ‘alt-tab’ to work in the middle of my custom macro strings. So, I can now copy a piece of text, change programs, and paste it with one click. And that’s just one possible option.

Making up another pot of beans. I’ve gotten to really enjoy them, and the convenience of frozen burritos.

Random #indexing comment. I love my SBL Handbook of Style. It’s so useful for double checking abbreviations and ancient authorship.

Tonight’s dinner was partly from my first harvest of the year: spinach pancakes with salad and an egg. Spinach, lettuce, Swiss chard and green onions were all from the garden. #Gardening #Cooking #Dinner

#Gardening Finally got the new garden bed filled. Tomorrow I get to plant.

I hadn’t realized just how much a conference can bring to a town.

Making up a batch of bean and cheese burritos to freeze. Mystery beans (small and white - tag said pinto apparently), bacon grease, onion, ham, cheese and cumin) #cooking

Very cool! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In my garden bed right now. I’m presuming it’s a garter snake. Easily a foot long, maybe a foot and a half.

#booksky I’m currently rereading The Eye of the World - Kobo ebook. Thing is, I do not remember the first chapter at all. Egwene at the river during the sheep washing/shearing. So far as I remembered the story, it opened with Rand on the way to the village. Was the story revised at some point?

#Caturday The lazy executive.

Finally got around to watching Gladiator II last night. I stand by my original opinion that the original Gladiator did not need a sequel. I don’t see myself watching it again anytime soon, or listening to the soundtrack. By comparison, the original is one of my favourite movies and soundtracks.

Weeding my raspberries when I saw this little tiny garter snake. #gardening

Glued to the tv watching election results tonight. Should get quite a bit of knitting done this evening. #Canada

#Gardening Planted yellow and red onions down the sides of the bed with the peas today and weed whacked most of the garden area I hadn’t gotten to yet. Just need to get the areas the hose is currently in, and bring out the hand trimmers to get in around the fruit trees.

#Gardening Finally got my peas planted. Also got one garlic bed mostly weeded. Can I say just how much I hate thistles?

Thanks for the chuckle.

Easter eggs. A yearly, fun tradition. #Easter

Cooking up an #Easter experiment this morning. Hot cross bun French toast. And a banana.

Built the first of four new garden beds today with my husband. The wood has only been sitting in the garage since last year. Next task is to fill it. 8’x4’x2’. #gardening

My computer ran an update over night and is now working hard at making me lose my patience. No, Razer Cortex, you do not need my location data to function. Unless you’re now going to tell me that my peripherals gave different functionality based on location?

These are delicious! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFln...

Made a batch of cookies this afternoon: Molasses cookies from the Outlander Kitchen blog, though I think the recipe may have been removed. #cooking #baking

This is really neat.
