I love smoked Goldeye and don’t have it too often…
yesterday, when I was out with a friend we stopped in at Gimli Fish Market and I was able to pick one up…
today, I made Goldeye cream cheese for the future and had Goldeye with cucumber and onion salad for my lunch…
delicious, what a treat;-)…

made the loveliest lunch today…
combined a smoked goldeye with cream cheese for a very tasty spread for the two types of crackers I had in the pantry…
then I started with shredded cucumber, green onion, vinegar and added radishes and cilantro… not only was it delicious when combined, but it also made it prettier with that bit of red added…
out in the garden I set up the chairs and cushions and ate my lunch and read my book…

ate well today… started with smoothies… mine was the usual spinach, yogurt, avocado and almond milk… my daughter’s was banana, frozen red berries, coconut yogurt, a bit of spinach, almond milk, and chocolate nibs…
we made it out of the driveway… there was a good bit of snow in it but I didn’t get stuck…
did a bit of shopping, came home, picked up her luggage and went for sushi on the way to the airport…
yummy… and I didn’t eat too much…
got her to the airport and then went and picked up a few groceries…
made it home and into the garage without getting stuck…
my grandson and his girlfriend came over and he shovelled…
made them pizza and I had goldeye, salad and radishes…
after supper they headed across town…
I am now home alone…
with tea and the last two imperial cheese cookies from one of my Christmas gifts…

after all that grocery shopping on Sunday I’ve had lots of choice as I prepare for each day’s meals…
during the week I usually make a smoothie for breakfast… it is easy and quick and I can spend a few minutes checking my phone before the day gets crazy…
today it was spinach, black currants, banana, Greek yogurt and almond milk… doesn’t look great but was very tasty…
for lunch I had half of a smoked goldeye with the zucchini and basil soup I made last night, along with radishes, peppers and celery…
healthy and delicious…
for supper I thawed some shrimp and added asparagus and mashed cauliflower…
as I was crushing the garlic, the press broke… had to toss it and will need to get a new one… luckily was able to pick the bits of metal out of the shrimp…
finished the meal off with two small Guylian chocolates…
feel happy when I’ve eaten three good meals in the day…

first thing this morning I took this picture of the spiral tree outside the door…
it had snowed a bit overnight and just dusted it a bit…
here is a picture I just took of the same tree…
been snowing for most of the day, as you can see from the amount of snow on it…
my grandson came over and shovelled tonight… he came to the office and rode home with us through the very slow traffic… once he was finished his mom picked him up to take him home…
after supper I went on a cooking spree… made hummus and cut veggies for our potluck tomorrow… mixed goldeye cream cheese and almost have the zucchini basil soup done…
veggies ready…
now to bed… been struggling with a headache for most of the day…

beautiful day, Caprese salad, garden, Goldeye, her big girl pants, my beloved, planting, reading by the pond, tomatoes, weeding
had a wonderful day in the garden…
the weather was hot but a breeze blew for most of the day, making it comfortable…
weeded along the driveway and finally planted the two tomato plants… one of them has fruit that is heart shaped…
continued with planting some purple and white coneflowers that I picked up yesterday…
watered the sod and dug up quite a few dandelions which were trying to take over the yard during the construction… consulted with a neighbour about how to raise the level where the sod has been put down as it is a little low and I keep tripping when I walk over it, lol…
in amongst all that, I finished book 3 and started on book 4 of Game of Thrones…
had a nap and a lovely dinner of Goldeye and Caprese salad with my fresh basil…
lots of time remembering fun in the garden with my beloved, particularly when I was trimming the Virginia creeper by the hot tub:-)…
