(edited) I recently saw a blog post on “Cooking without limits” for rhubarb galette. I’ve never heard of galette! But MAYBE this would solve my pastry issues!

IF ever there was a time to eat more garlic and not worry about it… it’ s now during Covid. For those people who just won’t stay 6′ or 2 meters away… they certainly will if you’re eating raw scapes! 🙂 I’ve just started harvesting my scapes. I like to wait til they’re curly. My …

The gardens are changing everyday.. showing LOTS of growth. It’s an exciting time to be home and being able to play in my garden – and helps keep me distracted from the roller coaster of emotions I’m on for the last week or so – contemplating my future with regards to work & ministry and …

I may have a Kale thief. The other day I came home from doing groceries, and came out back to see what Guillermo was up to, and noticed one of my Kale plants stripped bare in the middle…. Hrmmm. Not mentioning any names, but I think I’m related to her. 🙂 A few years ago …
We had a very rainy “Victoria Day” weekend here in Niagara, Ontario. Not as rainy as the weather forecasters predicted, thank God. I actually spent some time in prayer about it, because originally they were calling for over 100 mm (over 4″) with dangerous flooding all in one day, plus the two other days of …
Guillermo (my sweet William) has a very sweet tooth. Not for candy, or gum.. but milk chocolate, cakes, cookies, squares.. if they’re anywhere NEAR the house.. he’ll sniff them out.
