It’s been very cold here the last week or so…. And our furnace / boiler / chauffage is not working.
That means that we don’t have heat.
Okay, to be honest we have some heat. We have the fireplace and the wood-burner in the kitchen.
And every time the furnace repair guy comes it works for awhile so we have … Continue reading.....
Like so many things in recent history this post may not be what it seems; it may morph into something totally different and / or it may disappear completely.
One cannot know until one sends it off into cyberspace.
The problem I was dealing with this week has been resolved.
There were technical issues that I thought were beyond my … Continue reading.....
My s-i-l sent me a screen shot of what the posts look like:

I decided it was limited to humans, of any gender, using Apple … Continue reading.....
I may have mentioned that mon mari was taking a more active interest in cooking this summer.
Actually, he’s been taking a more active interest in the pre-cooking… finding marinades and brines for us to try.
Naturally, I modify them as I thinks suits us, but the underlying recipes have been great.
To this one, for example, I added a … Continue reading.....
The problem, not that I’ve had time to ponder it a bit more, is that I haven’t been shopping lately.
I’m not referring to the shopping (groceries)…. I do the shopping every week.

More on that later….
First….

The zucchini, I mean.

All I can say is it’s a good thing it rained this weekend….
