This and that~

 

May...this weekend is Mother's Day in Canada..

I have been postponing sharing this book for those of you..who..like me..don't have mothers..

I bought this book more than 20 yrs ago and wish I had bought it sooner..Letters From Motherless Daughters.

Keeper..

As well as my mom's collection♥

It's a book ..letters..title self-descriptive..of women who have lost their moms recently to long ago and the impact n their lives.

My girls will celebrate covid safe..

Noah had to get tested re close encounter on school bus..

Negative..but he needs a second negative and quarantined AT HOME 14 days..the new variants have made things even stricter.

I am so grateful our grandsons have loving devoted moms..♥

I have been baking..lol as you can see..a new bread recipe that is so versatile from T on IG..turns out she lives in QC too..

It's The New York Times EXCELLENT bread recipe..I make it in the bread machine..makes 2 loaves!

And made a faux(2) babkas with it.

GREAT recipe.

A new ricotta banana bread..

And we caved and bought my daughter's air fryer..well..not hers..her make.

So happy with it..

So far..all fries..  onion rings..General Tao..Bang Bang Shrimp..Coconut Shrimp..

Regrets? none whatsoever.

Cosori. The large white one..5.8 qt I think..fits perfectly snuggled in the corner of my kitchen..Opposite corner of bread garage.

Jacques..LOVES it too..

We're not fryers..ever..we bake things..this kicks up the crunch by FAR.

Cold spell..garden in suspension..

but things nevertheless happening..

flowering almond and serviceberry popping..:)

My basement seedlings want to come out and play..too cold..but they have done well and are doing well..

Those gorgeous purple callas were a surprise gift♥♥♥♥

Take care..

Still painting..
