The Garbage show in Vancouver last night was so great and I kept thinking Shirley Manson has barely aged and sounds incredible
Then she gave a shout out to her physio from her first hip replacement
The woman is a force, truly

This is only part of the group by the speakers and I’ve seen Teamsters, CUPW and other union representation here

My favourite summer meals always seem to include garden tomatoes and herbs, so burrata is a seasonal treat
But I also like experimenting with different accompaniments like tonight’s experiment: savoury blueberry gin compote with rosemary and topped with pistachios

Watching Nine Inch Nails live in concert is an incredible experience
Having now seen them 16 times (first time was in 2000!), I can tell you each show is unique with its own wow factor and tonight’s show in Vancouver was no exception

There had been a few leaves a couple years ago that looked like they might be Japanese maple and last year it was a few more leaves and maybe 4” tall so I left it
I wasn’t expecting this!
Google tells me it’s a Moutan tree peony but I still find it very unsettling — it was just THERE one day 😶
