One week done..February..

 

On Instagram..I invent little stories to go with my people:)

She is Glory..  heading to her art studio ..she will stop and pick up provisions for her lunch @Vival, her local small épicerie..just fruits and veggies:)

I decided to use up some lemons(I've bought more since:))..So I peeled them and used my Nutribullet to keep pots of rind..for last minute lemon desserts or even gremolata for the osso bucco this past week.

I then pulverised the lemons with ginger and made big fat ice cubes.I put one in a glass the night before..the next morning add hot water and I am so good to go:) I made a small batch of lemon curd to try something else soon..

Vintage lemon juicer for the lemon curd..

Old things are sometimes good to keep.

Pâté Chinois is a staple here in fall and winter..

1000 different recipes.

It's actually Cottage Pie in the UK..but I just use cream corn and niblets..nothing else apart form the mashed potato topping and meat base.

You can read of it's origins here..

Lean ground beef..onions..garlic..s and p..Worcestershire sauce..brown completely..then top with the rest..I put parsley and paprika on top because my mom did.

I am still painting backs of people that have caught someone else's eyes first..then w/ their permission I try my hand at them.

I have well over 130 now I think..I get rusty though..you should paint every day.I don't.

So many AMAZING artists on IG:)

I love so many styles..

So I finally saw..

I went with my girls..  the stars finally aligned.

He does give a performance of a lifetime.

It's a tragic take on human nature.

We are so complex.

I didn't cry my eyes out like I thought I would.

I did get teary eyed..at the end.

The thing with movies is that you see so many trailers..bits and bobs..that you know what is happening.

To me it was like a play.It's all shot in his apartment.His dark apartment.

He is a dear dear dear man.

You cannot help but love him.

We started Dear Edward and like it..

As for 1923 it took me a while to get into it..  because I just loved 1883.

It's more of a soap opera to me.

But the cruelty the indigenous people suffered is sickening.. 

shocking..At one point Canada is mentioned and the man tells the young beaten woman... :it's worse.

So both countries..have a great cross to bear on this inhuman treatment.

And the nuns and priests.

:(

I hate them in this movie.

Religion is a personal and private issue..The Whale ..has something to do with religion also...

I know some of you often mention religion and your beliefs..I just can't offer an opinion.

Religion and politics.

I try to stay mum.

Because you cannot ever be 100% in agreement with someone's choices.

But I respect your beliefs and choices.

:)

February is such a short month:)Like this post ;)

Until the gardens start up..it is not the easiest thing to chat..

I think I will abstain from staring seeds indoors this yr.

Two yrs in a row my tomato plants are ravaged .

I'll see..but for now..direct sowing zinnias.. marigolds..and buying tomato plants.

I think;)
