Gah. Look like they were right.

Did you know that if your kid is out of province for school, you're supposed to let MSI know so that their coverage can continue? I did know this since mine was away the last three years (learned from a tweet a few years back), but I forgot to do it since he went to a different province this year.

No IE! And probably a fucking Katy. She maybe saw one of these signs.

Cheese update. Made my lasagnas, this deal wasn't a deal at all. The Saputu website tells the tale. It's 'processed cheese food with mozzarella cheese flavour'? It's like I put white Kraft singles on my lasagna.

I recently got a tool that can seal up tortillas for you. I'm still in my 'tortilla all the things' moment. 🤣 Ham, eggs and cheese in there, tossed in the air fryer for a little bit.

I'm getting better at this turning 40 thing every year (this is Mi'kmaw).

Went to RMV to renew my license. So easy when you book an appointment, took less than 10 minutes, in and out. But the parking lot - even as an experienced driver, figuring out what lines are yours was a bit challenging!

Making Tiktoks? Or Tick Talks?
In unrelated questions, why was this in my reply before I started typing? What about me and my behavior made them believe I was about to respond in Arabic?

I've been poking around on the Municipal Archives site this morning, saw this image described, "Aerial photograph of apartment buildings at Dunbrack and Willet St." I'm thinking the big building in the foreground is 105 Dunbrack, what do you folks think? Hard to identify from a 50+ year old pic.

I went to Gateway earlier for some of their sale items, many of the sweet potatoes looked like this (I know for .47/lb they won't likely be perfect). Is this from pests or what? I dug through and got some without holes.

Looking on the bright side, I got a deal on a case of chicken drumsticks at Gateway. On the less bright side, I'm going to have to do something with these today because 40 pounds of chicken takes up significant fridge real estate. Fortunately we have a large upright deep freeze.

The valley was not smoky, only one spot near Aylesford that we smelled a bit. Brought my own jars and picked up some fresh honey (the one with the sunbeam in it has some special properties).

Tomorrow is the national day for Truth and Reconciliation. It may be just a day off for you. But maybe take a moment to think about those who attended Residential Schools. This is an excerpt from my late Dad's application for admission to the Shubenacadie Residential School in 1944. He was SIX.

I posted roasted veggies last night, as they were for a ‘light’ chicken parm (you serve it on the veggies instead of noodles). The chicken breasts were baked, not breaded, and topped with some fresh basil, then some tomato sauce and a combination of mozzarella and cottage cheese and broiled.

Saw a recipe today that is served over roasted vegetables. So roasted some veggies that were taking up space in the fridge. Maybe a bit too roasted but they're OK.

Just a few smallish potatoes makes a lot of waffle fries! Going into the air fryer shortly.

If you buy a bunch of herbs and only need a bit, this works to keep the rest fresh for awhile. Give it a rinse then place it in a jar of water like a bouquet of flowers. Produce bag over it, put an elastic around the jar to close it up, into the fridge. This cilantro has been around a week.

I made mashed potatoes to top my chicken pot pie. I think I could have sat down and ate the whole pot of them (partly because I'm quite hungry as I'm cutting back a bit, and partly because I <3 mashed potatoes).
