His full name was Edmund Fitzgerald BlackCatter - dually named for the boat/song and the Rowan Atkinson character - but we called him Ed. We didn't know when his birthday was so we declared that it would be November 10. We only had him for about two years when he just died one day. He wasn't old.

>> apple pie with a crumble topping. Putting the crust in the plate was very easy. The crust turned out very tender and crisp. It wasn't flaky but I didn't expect it to be - unincorporated fat is what makes pie crust flaky, and this dough was very homogeneous. I'll definitely be making it again.

I was talking about the fact that Frieda does not enjoy posing for photos with me, and went looking. I found two 😂

I did not do 14 or 20. Re:14 - I didn't have internet at home during the dialup years. I used the university's internet. Only rich people had home internet then, I was a broke student. Re:20 - I was a library person and if I needed encyclopedias, I just used theirs, which required planning ahead.

I'm grateful I live where there is an autumn and I am able to go out in the woods. I went out three times this week. It felt good to get fresh cold air in my lungs and move my body and smell the evergreens and look at the water and the colourful leaves and let my nose and cheeks get rosy.

Mine is called Rowan's breakfast sandwich and can be found at C&B Corner Cafe in Kensington PEI. It has an egg and candied bacon and herbed cream cheese and I get it on sourdough.
I also love butter, salted salmon and thinly sliced white onion on Finnish rye bread.

Went for a walk by the lake today. It was very windy (as you can see by how messy my hair is).

If you've been following along with my freezer cube adventures, but felt like the equipment might be too expensive, you may want to know about this set I got at Costco (in Canada). It's 5 trays with lids for 49.99.
They're different shapes than the ones I have. I'm excited about the skinny ones.

Got home from Costco and found one of my bags of milk was leaking. It hasn't happened in a while, I guess I was due 😂
Most of it stayed inside the individual bag, so I was able to salvage some. All my canning jars are full, so I had to put it in my big jar I use for making cold brew.

Oldest selfie on your phone
I took this one when I joined Facebook, which was... 07? 08?
Back when I wore makeup and shirts with frilly collars and dyed my hair and didn't know how to angle the camera correctly.

It was a glorious autumn day. I went for a walk (even ran a tiny bit!) and saw some nice leaves and berries. I always enjoy the end of this particular route, where someone has graffiti'd "nice bum :)" on the back of the trail sign.

I have once again picked up my knitting. I seem to remember a discussion we had where I informed you I was able to knit with 5 needles, and you were impressed. Today I am doing that. I am making a sock.

We used to have a cat named Edmund Fitzgerald BlackCatter. We didn't know when his birthday was so we declared that it would be November 10.
