Name that vegetable

Newsflash: A bit of culinary magic took place in the home a local Kingston resident.

A nondescript vegetable was recently turned into a magical feast. Friends and neigbours marveled at the tasty combination of dried fruit, nuts and vegetables all harmoniously blended with a mouth-watering secret formula of sugar and spice.

Butter lovers rejoice! Yet another tasty treat to top with luscious fresh creamery butter. A perfect excuse to gorge in gluttonous glee. This recipe is a winner and with a bumper vegetable crop it is likely that this Kingston neighbourhood will see more of this tasty "yoaf" in the near future.

25 Money Confessions

You must have a look at this writer's photo essay called "25 Money Confessions". It is hilarious.

The picture on the right is a sample of one of the illustrations subtitled “I steal things even though I have the money to pay for them.”

Balcony Babe wonders if a similar post titled "25 chocolate lover confessions" would elicit some funny and zany stories from her network of family and friends. ..... Just thinking out loud. Since my personal totem is the Easter Bunny, I may share a few of my own stories in upcoming blogs.

Water thief

The long hot spell has forced me to become a desperate, rule breaking water thief. Today I am watering my shrubs and trees outside of the city's allowable watering times. Under the bylaws, I am eligible to water from 5 AM to 10 AM on the odd numbered days. Since I leave for work each day by 6:45AM, there is simply not enough time to do a 15 minute slow-trickle deep root water on each shrub. Today is Saturday, an even numbered day, and another hot and sunny day. The shrubs are getting watered. Each one of them. 15 minutes at a time. I'm such a rebel!

Hey Eric - tell the world how mad you are

Hi Er,

I'm sorry to hear about your condo building. The news shows all had footage of it but I didn't even consider that it would be your building that went up in flames. I'll post the newspaper photo that you sent and when you write me a more detailed email I'll post it as a guest blog, if you want. Maybe this building site has used up all the bad luck and you will have a ton of happy years living there once they re-build. Thank goodness you weren't in harm's way when this happened. Keep me posted on what the developer tells you about re-building.

Editing comments

I had to delete one blog entry today. Someone left a paid advertising link in the comments section and I didn't think it was appropriate for this forum. From now on I will use the feature that lets me moderate comments.

Chris, you are exempt from censorship. Comment on dude! How are you making out with the TV show search?

Blog comments

Hi Chris. I have finally replied to your blog comments. I didn't know that they were there because I accidentally deleted the feature that lets me see comments. Now it is added back and I promise to be more careful in the future with my editing and layout experimentation. I was intending to make the blog primarily a written format, but since I just bought a new digital camera I have been having fun taking pics and posting them. Going forward, I will make the time to write some thoughts down and post them since I think that sharing ideas is much more interesting than looking at pics. Cheers and have a good day.
