Yikes! Already 7 days!

Yes it's already 7 days since I blogged!  I found a couple of things in thrifty land, but I have no pictures as the sun sets real early.

Thank god for little joys and now the days are a bit longer. I have no Pyrex news.

I've been testing the camera in my IPhone and I must admit I'm having better results. Here's the latest batch of pictures...

The All Purpose label totally makes me laugh. All Purpose for what?

The color is not appetizing....

 Luncheon meat

Meat of what? That is scary....Canned meat and China; you do the math!

A selection of mystery meats....

What were they thinking???? Those are particuliar looking S &P shakers!

Who designed those? Who bought them? They seem to belong in a night table drawer!

You know which ones! I know you've been around the block a couple of times....

This is the other stray that comes for a meal, a bath and a place to crash.

He's real cute and not shy!

Dan wants to call him Bambino. Well I think it's a bit early to find him a name...

We need to take our time and we've already established than our hearts are big, but the wallets not

so much, and caring for pets needs $$$

I don't want to be featured in Hoarders with a house full of Pyrex (true), walls made of newspaper (not true), crap all over the floor (not all over sometimes a kitty has a little accident that is always dealt with swiftly), trash all over (false),expired food since 1976 in the fridge (I can't believe people do that) , bugs everywhere (EEEEEEWWWWW!!!) and worst of all DEAD CATS DRIED UP UNDER THE FURNITURE!

I can't believe they don't smell the putrid stench of decaying corpses under their sofa. And if hey love the cats howcome they don't notice the cats are missing? Just how strong is their meds?

I know they are sick and it's not funny but if you have pets you have to be responsable people!

Having a big heart is great and wanting to save strays is amazing but you definitely need $$$ to do that.

The line is always thin and it's the same as losing weight....you must always be on the edge and not turn your back on it.

If only I could apply this on the weight thing! At least  I do on the trash and money matters!

    

Well that is pretty much it! LOL! I've said my peace for tonite

Have a great evening and please throw away or donate something that you don't need anymore!

So Soon?!?

While I was shopping at Shopper's (yep where I worked for a brief time last year) I was really tacken aback when I saw this.....

What the heck???? Halloween candy? It's still August! We are still drowning in Back to School stuff!

In case you didn't see the first pic.....

YESSSSS! Tons of sugary joy....But I was reasonnable, I didn't buy any....

YET!

Instead I fixed myself a niiiiicccceee healthy lunch of quinoa tabouleh salad with shrinp and smoked salmon

It was delicious!

I did splurge today and went to Santa Lucia Pizzeria on Stanley street with a friend (yes I made a friend at work more on that later) and ate this....

It is a calzone with italian sausage, green pepper, mushrooms, cheese and sauce. It was freshly made and delicious and so was the salad.

On a garden note.....

For the past 2 years I grew some wonderful pole beans native to my region.

We've been having crazy storms in the past 2 weeks and the tower full of beans fell this week for the second time up rooting all the bean plants.....Oh well what can I do.

I harvested all the pods I could to dry and disposed of the rest.

You can't fight mother nature!

I hope you're having a good harvest so far.

Have a great night :)

  

O'Greatness....

Today I made the Seitan recipe O' Greatness.

Very easy to do! First pic the dry ingredients,second the wet ones.

Third you mix everything and mold it into a log and roll it in foil (fourth pic).

You then proceed to shove it into the oven.

After 90 min it was done- it had to cool before I tasted it. But I couldn't wait! It's tasty, but if you're a meat eater it's different allright....but it is growing on me!

Of course I forgot to take a picture of the finished product!!!

Now I'll be looking for some recipes to use it in. I remember tasting a seitan 'meat' pie and I feel it could be spot on in a stew....I am glad I tried this recipe, it was WAY cool.

I still have to try to make vegan italian sausages and maybe vegan lunch meat! I'll keep you posted!
