I didn’t think of you before – but now I will. Last night I read a post from a woman who was upset that a young, presumably attractive female, made a sales call to the farm – and rode in the cab of the combine with the farmer (the poster’s husband).

Heroes do exist.

Thoughts are with our farming SDA followers as they work to get the crop off.

Stay safe as you harvest your bounty!

If that picture is the sinkhole, it’s massive.

Canning tomatoes, thirty-some cotoneasters to plant. Rider game. Amuse yourselves and enjoy the last weekend of summer.

A not insignificant portion ended up in my mouth.
Sigh. Now to core and stem. Jelly and butter weekend.

When certain people are away, I eat all the things that certain people refuse to touch. This is one, and one of my favourites.
Bottom-Dwelling, Crap-Eater Chowder
1/2 cup butter
One onion, chopped
Once celery stalk, chopped
Two potatoes in small cubes.
4 Tbsp of flour
salt,
pepper,
paprika
thyme
basil
3 cups of milk
Whoops Forgot about the two cans of condensed Creme Mushroom soup.
3 cups or so of chopped frozen seafood.
Cook the seafood as per the package instructions. On medium heat, melt the butter and saute the onion, celery and potato until soft. Add the flour and spices to thicken. Add the milk and Condensed soup, add the cooked seafood. Judge the thickness of the chowder as you heat it, if it’s too thin, add a bit more flour. Bring almost to a boil, take it off the heat and let it cool.

Deadmau5 to host TIFF’s Just for Cats Festival.

Just for Cats, co-presented by the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) and Temptations, is a Canadian film fest for the best of international cat videos.

So, if you haven’t had enough Cat Fridays, Youtube cats or Twitch catstreams…well there you go.
While I’m an unabashed Deadmau5 fan, I probably can’t take an extended period of cat videos.

But it can’t be real. Cause the Conservatives killed the census, or something.

I don’t see Colorado on the dog show calendar.
Sad face.
