Scored Canadian spinach and romaine at the store yesterday. Finally! Now celery, please!?
Should have stuck with 10 mins of Shakira and the kids. (JB was good, but it was vibe-killer. At least it was 🇨🇦 representation)

Binging the new Little House on the Prairie. So very different from the Landon version, but I like it. Some dark themes, definately not a young kids series. A few cool cameos. ;) Shot right here in Manitoba :)
I have Folkfest packing to do. I also want to watch the US lose. Also, every time I walk away, Belgium scores, so I feel I should keep doing so to get my packing done....but , can't. tear. myself. away. from. the. TV. Sigh. Struggle.
At a very bare minimum, it should be mandatory that an AI image or video should generate a mandatory watermark or logo that is illegal to remove or alter.
Caution to inexperienced cooks: AI generated recipes are untested and not to be trusted. The last 4 recipes I started to read through on Pinterest were fraught with ommissions, conversion errors and substitution suggestions that would result in disaster.
Hubby quote of the day: "Man, retirement better be worth all this brutal friggin' paperwork." It is, honey, it is.
I'm not downtown very often anymore, but when Winnipeg Folkfest has a pop up presale on merch, you make the trek! Followed up by a falafel from Bodegas, Red River book store, and Toad Hall Toys. I'm now completely over-stimulated from the stores and need a quiet potter in my garden. Lol
Hooray! After finding zero monarch eggs on my milkweed all last year, (smoky summer - wildfires) I just found 11! So many ditches are still filled with water after our 10 inches of rainfall last week so alot of wild milkweed is under water 😞 Chez Ally is all cleaned up and ready for hatchlings!
Eyes up this week, Canada! Strong chance of Northern lights Thursday and Friday!
Bang bang salmon in the air fryer, with Edemame. Took less prep and cook time than the rice. Going into the summer rotation as a "too pooped from gardening to cook" dinner. 🍽
Saw The Mandalorian and Grogu tonight. If you like the show, you'll love it. It was like 3 amped up episodes smushed together. Some fun cameos, a touch of cheesy, a few moments of 'head tilt-huh?'.

‘Keeping an eye on Canada’: U.S. DEA plans to open new offices north of the border - The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says it plans on “keeping an eye on Canada” by opening two new offices in the country to track and intercept the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.
Watching the History channel and all 7 contributing experts are pronouncing Gengis Khan with a soft G (capital G only) and I'm not sure who from my past I'm supposed to be annoyed at. Let's just go with Hollywood.
Chapman's Coffee Chip ice cream+choc & caramel syrup+toasted almonds= lazy Billy Miner Pie (aka: Mud Pie, mocha ice cream pie) 😋 Alas, no oreos on hand for crumbly topping. Sigh. I'll live. Lol
All hail, the pork cutlet sandwich. Pounded loin, velveted, dbl dipped in John Henry's maple bacon seasoned flour, served on a brioche bun. The pic doesn't do it justice. Lol
America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.
He never ceases to impress. While we have plans to build a small reclaimed window greenhouse for hardening off plants and slightly extending the growing season, he has taken the frames of 2 old 10x10 sun shelters and made me an 8x10 temporary version.
Census complete. We never received a code in the mail, so had to request one. Was quick, but finicky because of a rural address. Didn't recognize it with legal land descript either, but 3rd option of map plot pin was the charm. My nerdy friends; commence jealousy - got the long version! Lol
