I originally said I would likely create no content but I'm definitely not quiet.
Please no DMs. If I've muted you it's because I don't have time to argue with idiots.

Later morning trip to the market. My CSA share was mixed greens, swiss chard, radishes, and dill. Other purchases were flank steaks, curried rice salad & a roast beef sandwich, flowers, Gouda cheese curds, new potatoes, haskap berries, and strawberries.

I was thinking about getting up and doing something, but, same problem.

I admit I'm a bit of a sucker for farm delivery. I've bought from these people before, and moved stuff around in the freezer, so placed an order for tonight. This time I went for the smoked pork collection. Lots of smoked sausage and bacon for the freezer. Well, I opened a package already. 😉

I buy most of my produce, eggs and meats locally. In fact, in the early evening I have a small pork delivery. What might become bad is winter fruit. I've been buying items from Spain, Morocco and Greece. They may become premium prices. Definitely canning more fruit this year. Maybe individually.

Morning trip to my local market. I actually go for my CSA share. The other items are just a bonus. I got new potatoes from, noodle salad, fudge, oyster mushrooms from steak, jalapeno spread from, eggs, asparagus, tomatoes and strawberries.
All NS grown or produced.

Ummm... When my parents had a fence put in I remember them letting the concrete cure before actually building the fence. If they start at 7:30 am is 3.5 hours long enough? Of course they'll have to dig, place, then pour. It would be too funny if they fall over while raising the flags.

I think shadow vessels are the biggest problem. Our imports from Russia below. We don't really import enough that it hurts them. Now, China, India and Turkey could hurt them, but likely won't. Although China will buy LNG and crude oil from us.

So, from my purchases yesterday: I made a beef/kale dish. Brunch was bacon, eggs, strawberries with a piece of brown bread toast with homemade conserve. Made some rhubarb cake. Tonight a salad made with mixed greens, roasted beets & asparagus, Gouda cheese curds and pecans (Ontario grown & made).

After a number of weeks, for various reasons, I finally made it to the market. This was actually restrained. I decided to pass by other stands today. All are local NS produced.

Just for fun, adding this as a separate post. This is bedroom #3 in my pre-fab. The shelving, and a lot of the stuff came from my bigger place. I'm not sure if it will ever be better. I've been digitizing some things. This coming winter I may start to get brutal on the other 'stuff'.

I'm still working on the junk. This is my third bedroom (in a 1000 sqft place), basically a storage room. I am working on some of it (digitizing photos/ recipe books) but likely that reclaimed space will end up with more home canning.

Procrastination is strong today. It's raining, and although I can see the dust on the dresser, the cat and I are watching old Murder, She Wrote episodes.

He's just nuts, rambling on about building a ballroom while his country burns. Maybe they didn't need a fucking ballroom. Lots of fun he's having. Sheesh

I hope they don't mind, but our local Masstown market posted this today. Californian strawberry on the right, locally grown Millen Farms berries on the left. If I don't get any at the market on Saturday I'll take a drive out next week. Not on Saturday though, it's insanely busy.

I've been doing my best to use things up before the fall canning starts, just to get empty jars. I don't want to think how much I have. Well, sadly I have an inventory that I verify every now and then. Normally I put dates in, but stripped them out here.

Christmas & New Years, 1961. I'm not quite finished with the pictures, but almost. I was having a little trouble getting sharp scans from some small printed ones, so I pulled ahead the ones I was going to buy for the slides. The last pic is the scan setup without the phone.

There I am, year unknown, but probably the mid 70s. I'm third from the front, on the left. At the time I would have preferred playing hockey, but there wasn't a girl's team. Instead, here I am, a Raindrop Carrying a Pole. 🤪

Spain, 1994 - the end of the trip. Well, she spent some time in Scotland before heading back to Canada. That was mostly a family visit with just pictures of meals out.

Morocco, 1994 - this was a trip my mother took after spending, I think, 6 weeks in Portugal. It was the trip where she made a new friend from Argentina, who she visited a number of times. I visited once at the end of a cruise. She came to NY, then Canada a couple of times.

Portugal, 1994 - I remember my mother calling home complaining about it being a little chilly in the morning. In Ontario it was - 40 and we had a couple of feet of snow. It was unusual to have both, but it was a fun winter.
