came home with three of them and just a few other things…
including leggings that I had picked up a while ago, and loved, in a different colour… shorts with side pockets (spring must be coming, right!), two v-neck tops… salad, and maybe a fun snack;-)…
spent a good portion of Thursday out and about shopping… I am getting much braver these days although I still wear a mask everywhere…
were in Home Depot and Rona, getting bits and pieces to fix a few things in the house… then we wandered up and down every aisle at Costco and picked up a few items…
our final stop was Safeway where I was able to obtain some flowering plants and a few bunches of flowers…
made a hot breakfast, cause it felt like that kind of day, and then gathered the ingredients to prepare ham, cabbage and potatoes…
this would give it time to cook and then cool before heating it up for supper…
while that was cooking, I finished shredding the rest of the cabbage, a bit of green onion, and some carrot… I added the last of the dressing I had in the cupboard and finished that recipe…
finally, I cut and scooped three ripe avocados into containers to go into the freezer for smoothies…
yesterday I prepared zucchini basil soup…
feels a bit like I am getting ready for hibernation…
the first was from La Belle Baguette and included croissants, butter tarts and sourdough bread… I was hoping for scones, but they aren’t baking those just now…
I am so happy that they are doing deliveries on Fridays and Saturdays now that we have been shut down again… I shared the croissants and enjoyed my chocolate one… it was delicious, as always…
I had other things planned for dinner, but decided on a grilled cheese with onion and bacon… yum… the rest of that loaf will be cut up for stuffing and popped into the freezer…
the butter tarts were put into the freezer, either as a treat for me, or something to have should anyone drop anything off and I want to send something home with them…
a bit later in the day, my groceries from Save-On-Foods arrived… these days it takes four or five days for delivery and more items are out of stock… but, nearly everything gets here…
I am blessed to have these options available… and happy to do a bit of local purchasing where I can…
Shelmerdine delivered plants and two new bird feeders… it was raining when the truck arrived and the driver offered to put everything in the garage, which was very nice…
not much later UPS arrived with the items I had purchased online from Costco about ten days before…
this one really made me laugh because the parcel came from Airdre, Alberta, rather than the store that is less than four kilometres from my house… don’t think I will be ordering from there again;-(…
today I called and spoke with someone at Costco to see if my grandson could shop using my card and it is possible, so I won’t have to get things sent all the way from Alberta… I will call and let them know the date he will arrive to shop each time, but that is much better than having things travel from two provinces away… the person I spoke with advised that they are currently testing Instacart…
set an alarm to be sure I was up for the 8-2 window for my Save-On-Foods delivery… they arrived around 9:30, and nearly everything turned up, including toilet paper…
after the groceries arrived, all the datura pots made their way outside for the day once the temperature hit 10 degrees Celsius… this is good weight training for me…
from there I worked on updating my cookbook…got quite a few pages done, which made me happy as it had kind of stalled…
a phone call and time online trying out and searching to find a particular resource… no luck so far, but I am not giving up, lol…
FaceTimed with my oldest grandson and a few PVRed shows finished the day;-)…
