It just occurred to me as I was cooking supper last night that COVID-19 has changed more than a few things about our lives. I mean, there are the obvious things such as masks, sanitizer, social distancing, store/restaurant limits, gathering stipulations, virtual meetings, etc. Then, there are the other things that are a bit more …

All Grown-Up?
I was struck by something funny the other day as my husband and I prepared our Easter dinner a day early for a change. Ready for my big revelation? I think that we are officially all grown-up now. How’s that for news? Not really news, is it? I realize that that statement may sound silly …
More Than Just Potato Cakes
If you are a pet lover like me, you know that we won’t stop at anything to show love unto our furry or feathery or slithery type friends. Personally, I like to stick with the first two groups of pets, whereas things that are slithery (or leathery or prickly or... ) are best left to …
A Messy Kitchen Can Be a Good Thing
Photo by Daria Shevtsova on Pexels.com Something unexpected happened yesterday for the first time EVER in my forty-some years... I felt fortunate to have had a messy kitchen. Ladies, hang onto your hats with that declaration, as I'm sure that you are thinking, "What on earth?! is that Sue talking about now? Surely, she must …

I have this thing about building a campfire. It began as a kid when I was old enough to start chopping wood and light it myself. Back in the day, lighters were a luxury whereas match boxes were a dime a dozen. The goal I learned was to light a fire with just one solitary …
Super Sweet Sunday
Lately, I've been really happy with some of my/our purchases and I've also come to really appreciate some things that have been bought previously, but used more recently because of all of our stay at home time. In no way do I intend to make this an infomercial for various companies, though maybe I will …
Pineapple Bars
Since I have absolutely no idea how to share a picture in someone else's comment box (is that even possible?), I am posting this recipe for Irene, courtesy of mysliceofmexico.ca, in response to a similar recipe that she recently shared on her site. https://mysliceofmexico.ca/2020/05/18/pineapple-bars-old-fashioned-sweet-treats/ My mom used to make these pineapple-filled cookies when I …
Banana Pancakes
This morning, I had a chance to indulge in one of my favourite breakfasts... homemade banana pancakes. On a cool, overcast kind of day, I can't think of anything better after a brisk walk and a tasty coffee. Not only is the smell of them cooking comforting, they are also very addicting--one bite leaves you …
The Best and Worst Of…
Alright, let's play the 'Best/Worst Food' game. Friday is a good day for that, I figure. An absolute must-have food? Bananas--I absolutely LOVE them and I HAVE to have one first thing every morning. If we run out, it's an automatic trip to the store (even during these COVID times), and any time that we …
Jibber Jabber with Sue
