Hi ya-all, My name is Jim, I've been Annette's other half for the past 64 years and she's asked me to post an update of what's happening. First like most others everywhere we've been hunkered down because of this "covid19" thingy. Vancouver island got on top of it pretty quick so we only ever...

I know people are going to frown on this but I've always rooted in water on the windowsill with great success. Cut halfway between a node and put cut end in water, change water if needed, I don't even use rooting hormone :hide. Annette

I guess I should have mentioned the curry sauce I made had my own apple sauce but made with apples from my neighbor's tree and the shrimp cucumber salad had my own dried oregano sprinkled in it. Hopefully that counts. Annette

Still have a couple of pieces of chicken left over from last night so will have those with one of these... and maybe a piece of garlic roast.

Supper last night...baked chicken. basmati rice with curry sauce. Original recipe for the curry sauce was from gourmet magazine but like all other original recipes I've messed with it ;). Annette
