Hope you see this Pepe. Had this queued up to send & lost when remembered to add alt text. Consistent round tortillas with new Vevor cast iron press. Thicker than hand rolled & no big bubbles but 10/10 rating from hubs. Thank you again. 🫡

Fettuccini tonite with fresh tomato sauce (ripest of the backlog used!) + buns in the air fryer. Still 30ish degrees today but managed to make an indoor meal. Win.

Platz is the go-to here in our corner of BC. Makes up easy as muffins. Works for any fruit.

Cardinal clematis putting on a show. The double white is a bit unclear on the trellis concept. Still pretty but makes me cringe to the right when looking at it. Maybe a bit OCD?

Pink clematis putting on quite a show this year. She was supposed to grow over the utility infrastructure but didn't get the memo. I've forgiven her.

Haven't watched Star Wars for while. Isn't the red light saber the one the villain used?

TGIF. Hit the LDB for some weekend libations. Used to enjoy a Fetger's gerwitz but that was then. Hardys' is a tasty alt produced by commonwealth allies.

Thanks Sylvia. The blue icons to add a photo, video etc don't show on the dialogue box on the phone immediately as they do on a pc. I did eventually figure it out. It was a steep learning curve on a new phone + new app simultaneously.

1st world problem: Microwave (OTR) died. Supply issues = April b4 a replacement with installation. Brian & Edward installed a new unit today sourced "available now" search. Foul language and use of tools not mentioned in the manual ensued. Edward supervises up close and personal. Unit working great

Anybody else make Christmas Crepes? I stuff them with leftovers and a wee log of Balderson's old cheddar. Quick and easy meal in March/April when the turkey tedium has faded. Also: what does the photo icon look like on an android phone so I don't have to email pix to myself? Multi-tasking.

2024 kiwi harvest. Male isn't producing flowers yet. Somehow we got some fruit. Any kiwi growers know if they will be edible? They are still hard as rocks and don't want to waste one as I already know they taste nasty at this stage. Picked them because we've had a light frost.
