I ate my first one tonight. They were absolutely delicious. 😋

Me too. Raw almonds are a favorite go-to snack around here. The only one that I eat and don't enjoy is Brazil nuts, something about that taste is off to me. But I'll eat a little every year for the health benefits. Macadamia nuts are never available, but I have bought macadamia butter and...

I'm doing some research on different cookies I want to try this year. 🤓 So far DD & I have made Hermits with the true Marasca cherries (the thing maraschinos wanted to be but never were, lol), Coconut Cinnamon Chocolate Chunk, Toffee Bits Chocolate Cookies, Peanut Butter, Gingerbread...

Great thread idea @flowerbug. I would love to know how to re-create a blueberry pudding recipe I used to eat as a kid. It was simple boiled berries with sugar, but there was a kind of dumpling dough added to the top part way through. I remember that being so good. The challenge would be how...

I love cornbread too. That subtle crunch to the texture, and the sweetness. Polenta is also something I really enjoy if it's been sauteed in butter and salted nicely. Years ago I used to make a corn pudding with raisins, cinnamon, maple syrup & milk, it was yummy too. Not the dry baked kind...

And worst of all the tomato & its seeds come with litigation issues like other GMO's. I'd love to try your tomatoes @Blue-Jay, sounds like an interesting experiment!

Christmas baking is underway. One of the more interesting adventures has been my attempt at creating a sourdough starter for my parents, who love sourdough bread. As it is they are paying an exorbitant amount per loaf, nearly 10 dollars, and are having to drive quite a ways to pick it up too...

GMO tomato seeds are now available to the public, and being sold in packets like regular seeds. https://www.norfolkhealthyproduce.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqHvv085ZF2teJEHsJxCVt-QsHu28uLspUoEpZI0dgc59xZ-QiR

Finished my last beginner obedience class tonight. It was so much fun, and I really did learn so much. I'm so impressed with the progress of that class! That first evening the chorus of barking was a bit crazy, you could barely hear the instructor. By tonight it was complete silence, dogs...

That's interesting, I had no idea that was how they bred in the long hair! It's funny, I've always noticed that the long haired dachshunds seem a bit softer natured than the smooth coated, this would certainly explain that. Wow, that's pretty neat!

He's a beagle. I probably shouldn't call him 'easy' because his nose is a formidable opponent to training! Lol

I have the beans I'm returning to you all packed up. I will connect with my tech friend asap and get your package in the mail @Blue-Jay. I'll forward you the tracking number when I get it. Happy landing! 🏡

This past week we have had truly disturbing visitors, not so much in the garden but behind it. A huge unkindness of ravens. I'm baffled as to why they've been here for so long and for what. I noticed today that my neighbour across the street had about 20 in his trees and there was also about...

-22C/-8F, but on the positive side I haven't seen any mosquitoes.

I wish I knew @Marie2020. All I can do is guess based on what I saw. It appears that she died right there on the road, or was very ill and collapsed on the road. The way the owner was petting her, he knew the situation was very grave. It looked like 'goodbye' petting to me. The question in...

My nervous system is still vibrating all wrong from that.

DD & I walked the dog together this afternoon. We were going down the street in the direction of the sun, and I could see someone else coming up the street toward us with a large dog on a leash. So we moved far to the right to give them room and I caught a glimpse of their silhouette, (I was...

I don't really keep up a lot with the weather outside of the growing season, but this morning I got shocked by the cold. Yesterday it was -1C/30F in the daytime, this morning it was -33C with windchill factor/-27F. The look on my dogs face when I cracked the door for him to go out was priceless. 🤣
