An open note to Mr O’Leary, Ms Smith & anyone else who travels to “kiss the ring”. You do NOT represent the people of Canada!

The news is full of Canadian politics, swirling with speculation around who will be the next Leader of the LPC. I’m making popcorn !

Had a nap with the doggos. You see how little space I get in a King sized bed? 🙄

We needed a break from Christmas shopping. An Old Fashioned for me & an Espresso Martini for the boss…

Starting the Christmas cooking. The baguettes will be used as Crostini’s for canapés.

The Rack Addicts BBQ Team got out of our usual KCBS box & participated in a Chili Cookoff. We took first place in the “Jet Fuel” (spicy) category ! 😎

Tell me you love winter, without telling me you love winter. 🐶🐾♥️

My take on steak frites - a ribeye seared in cast iron & smother with peppers, onions & mushrooms. Home-cut fries & mayo on the side. 😎♥️🥩

Bacon makes EVERYTHING better ! That’s why we cure our own from pork belly & smoke it for that extra level of flavour. 😎♥️🥓

I know, I know, another bread picture. This one was made with the whey from yesterday’s mozzarella cheese. 😎♥️🧀🥖

Much better ! This is what cheese should look like…

2nd attempt at mozzarella cheese. The first batch came out crumbly & we suspect it’s because we used lemon juice instead of citric acid.

It doesn’t look like much now, but in about an hour this will be fresh mozzarella cheese. 😎❤️🧀

“Skootch over, fatso. You’re on my cushion !” ~ PJ, probably

Chicken cordon bleu over fettuccine, with a basil Dijon cream sauce.

The Canadian Space Agency asked Canadians from all walks of life what to name its new Moon Rover. Best response: “The Littlest Robo” Maybe tomorrow, I’ll want to power down Until tomorrow, the whole moon is my home 🎶 🥲❤️🇨🇦🐺

Never far from my pack… 🐶🐺🐈‍⬛🐾❤️

Been watching The Bear. Matty Matheson as Neil Geoff Fak. FAAAKK - he’s so good ! 😆

Another round of chicken cordon bleu. These have quickly become a favourite in our house !

I don’t HAVE a Wealthsimple account. So how did they get my number ? 🙄

Molly wants to go outside, but it looks kinda chilly. 🐺🐾❤️

Just shovelled another 4cm off the driveway… Is it Spring yet ? Asking for… OK - it’s me. I’m a bad Canadian who doesn’t like shovelling snow. 🤷‍♂️

At least Lola is enjoying the snow ! 🐶🐾❤️

Looks like the white stuff fell out of the sky overnight. Ugh - might need to shovel the driveway. Sigh…

Fresh out of the oven. Baguettes to go with the chili for dinner tonight. Fresh bread makes my heart happy. 😀❤️🥖

Eggs Bennie for brunch on a lazy Sunday morning.

I’ve been watching “Godfather of Harlem” on Disney+. I am keenly fascinated by the Civil Rights Movement in the USA. Happy so much progress was made in the 1960s; horrified at how much work there is left to do.

SNORT ! 🤣

Whoever invented coffee with Bailey’s should be Canada’s next Prime Minister. They read the room & have just the right amount of chill. ☕️

Huh - Rudy the Roomba has been running all night. Without an error or glitch or getting stuck somewhere. It truly _IS_ a new dawn here on BlueSky !

My mood this morning: a bit sassy, a bit classy & definitely under-caffeinated !

Huh - Facebook reminded me what a toxic place it is today. That app has been tossed in the bin just like Twitter/X.

Rouladen & Patates Pavé for dinner. I love learning new dishes !

The start of something good - rouladen for dinner.

Care to guess what I am up to in the Chestermere Test Kitchen ?

Agreed ! 👏

Dunno why Americans are concerned about the incoming kakocracy, Canadians lived this way for 9 years. Drama teacher as PM, Russian literature major as Minister of Finance, Greenpeace Activist as Minister of Environment… 🤷‍♂️

Here’s hoping JT hasn’t heard of BlueSky. Tired of the Thought Police blocking Canadian content on other socials…
