  1. Yay to surviving the day, so you want to go back for day two and beyond.
  2. Good to know about the zest, because I wondered about that. Date squares are a favourite of mine, so I’m sure I’ll like this cake. Hmm…maybe I should buy enough dates to make some squares.
  3. Substitutes sound good, and pecans and I get along, so that’s another plus.
  4. Did you use a sugar substitute? What kind of flour? Chickpea, perhaps? The internet says it’s versatile and a good substitute for ap flour. Then again, so is almond flour. I’m feeling the need to makes this, though not with walnuts, because me and walnuts don’t get along.
  5. Not the same as what you got, but mine came with a bevy of extra things too. I only have the one blade type, though. Yours looks very versatile.
  6. It looks like a really nice one, tim. I absolutely love mine. Its so easy to use and easy too clean (put it in hot soapy water then turn it on, and voila, it's clean). You will absolutely love and appreciate it, guaranteed!
  7. My sentiments exactly! The good news is it’s Family Day tomorrow. The stores will be closed, but the sun is going to shine (weatherman isn’t wrong, right?) and the temperature will be above freezing, so that’s something to look forward too. PS: I don’t even remember the last time I’ve had French Toast. Should think about making some…
  8. Sorry to hear you got a blizzard, tim. Thankfully, I got the fluffy blanket, because that was much easier to shovel.
  9. It did, but it's probably also because I'm walking outside as being outside is a big part of it for me. ETA: I think the walks act as an energy booster, though being dehydrated can cause fatigue too, so drink plenty of water. Having said all that, there are nights I still get hit with a wave of exhaustion, but that usually passes quite quickly.
  10. The sun was wonderful today. As for tomorrow, the shovel will be back in service, I'd say. As for more walking, my neighbour in her 70s does that twice daily, so I decided to do a short on in the early a.m to see if that helps my "get up and go" get going better as I'm not a morning person in the slightest.
  11. This wasn’t what I first imagined it would be, which is good, because I think his fake morning commute is a splendid idea. Something tells me this might be good for weekends, too. 👍🏻👍🏻
  12. I’ve read about desert mirages many times over the years. This time, however, instead of disappointment and despair, I believe the protagonist has found relief and peace. Well done, tim. PS: A side note to lighten ( possibly?) things a bit. I saw the title and somehow, my mind skipped over the word ‘and’, so I read it as ‘Chase the Phone Booth”, and I thought why would someone chase a phone booth?
  13. Thanks for the reminder, tim! I'm going to have that for dinner tonight. 👍
  14. I love my Bissel Powerclean Ion Pet (though I don’t have a pet) because the filter is so easy to clean compared to filters of old. Vacuuming used to be the one chore I hated the most, but not anymore.
  15. It was snowing for a bit then it got windy in the home stretch. Home now with chicken and potato samosa’s in the oven for dinner.
  16. Nothing but wind here, so I’m going for a walk while the gettings good.
  17. I thought I had an idea who this is, then the curve balls started flying....
  18. Knowing how conscientious you are with regard to the food Mike can/should eat, this new way of cooking will be second nature in no time. I am quite sure of that!

    Chapter 1

    I actually did comment about something that hadn’t happened yet, but luckily, my “holy crap!” moment wasn’t discovered by anyone else before I realized what I’d done and could destroy the evidence. Made me leery of commenting, that did.
  20. Going to be waiting a bit longer for the adaptation, because I decided to go with cream cheese this first time around. The only change I’m making this time is semi-sweet chocolate chips (already have those in the cupboard) instead of bittersweet chocolate chips.
  21. I’m going to try it that way, and I’ll post the results.
  22. Your enthusiasm has me giggling. Thanks, for that!
