This and That

Although we have only been here for a month, already a tradition has been established of Paul and I taking up a nice meal to my parents on Sunday.  My mom got an actifry machine recently and we wanted to try French fries made in it so we brought up some hamburgers.  We barbecued them at home first as they don't have a BBQ.  We had cheese and salad as well and for dessert I made a strawberry mousse cake (my own creation).  It needs a little tweaking so recipe will follow soon but this is what it looked like and it was delicious as is.


A couple of weeks ago, I ordered a small bookshelf from Wayfair.ca to put at the end of the kitchen island to hold cookbooks and other reference books we like to have close at hand.  I was pleased with the quality of the wood.  I sealed the wood with some polyurethane and that was a bit of a mistake.  The polyurethane changed the color of the wood somewhat; I would have been better just using a wax to protect the wood but its done now.    I will be ordering again from Wayfair. This is the second item I have ordered.  I had a bit of an issue on the first order but their customer service is topnotch and the issue was resolved immediately.   And I now have a place to display my big piggy bank; if you come for a visit you will have to feed it.

Although my new sewing room is much, much smaller than the space I had in Puslinch, this is the view I have out my window and quite regularly a heron comes to visit.

 And to finish off this post, a dramatic evening sky.
