After Gary left on his vacation, I set up the “garlic dehydrator”. The aroma can be overwhelming, but I have been trying to declutter pretty much everywhere, including the freezers. If successful, there will be more room for this season’s bounty from the garden. Always delicious, I had roasted, chopped and frozen garlic cloves in … Continue reading

A degree in potato wrapping …
I volunteered to “do” baked potatoes for my friend’s send-off tomorrow. Actually, it was consent to a direct request, not something I had offered. The mission was to buy and bake and deliver 15 pounds, but in the end, the Evangelical Free Church in McBride took over the catering of the dinner. The friend who … Continue reading
Saturday rocked and so does Sunday so far …

Rainy days …
Aagh… we’ve had enough rain. The level of water in our unused well is at an all-time high and we wish we could share. The yard is soggy. It’s gloomy and oppressive, but better than having not enough precipitation. Still, farmers need to put up hay soon, so that’s worrisome. I have many rainy-day projects … Continue reading
Days that go sideways …
Yesterday afternoon, I was writing to you about bobotie. I hadn’t meant to “Publish”. I had been to town for a little break and errands, but had not heard that a friend had died. Then I started seeing cryptic Facebook posts, but could not tell exactly what the sad news was. I finally texted someone … Continue reading
