neesy wolf HI everyone how you guys doing now? Still kickin' Hi Dizzy, doing ok, it's just after 7am here, been awake since 4am, just finishing a cup of tea, gotta drop my daughter into work for 9am then I'll do some work in the garden. Hope you have a great day. Stay safe. Hi @notaro - the Queen will be speaking later on (at 3 p.m. Eastern time here which is 2 p.m. for me) - I might just record it for Andy since he is a former United Kingdom subject, now with dual citizenship
Glad to hear you are still doing well over there (Eamon)
Hey Tet, it's Saturday. Hey Frank - this sounds like one of my lazy days lol
Yesterday I was quite busy though (for a nice change)
Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!!
Hi Sandy
Have you done any baking lately?
Hi there - thanks for asking about me
I got up at 7 a.m. yesterday then I went to Sobey's (a grocery store north of me); bought a big shopping cart full of stuff, put it all in the car then from there I decided to hit the IGA
Again I bought another cart full to the top (I could barely fit it all in the car!) I wasn't hoarding or anything - it had just been a while since I could do a really good shopping.
My hubby (who turned 65 last June) has finally gotten a payment from Canada Pension which was deposited in our joint bank account - yippee!
He waited eight months before applying so this might be a few months worth, deposited all at once.
I feel a lot better now
Hey Neesy Tried to bake. Can't find any Maple Extract for Maple Tarts. Will make cheese and pepper biscuits this week. I know I will NOT be making anything with yeast. That's an accident waiting to happen facepalm . How about you MORGAN? Looking to try yeast yet?

Sorry to hear that Dizzy. You are a brave woman, Dizzy, you have to deal with so much. I have a lot of respect for you, you STILL bring sunshine even on the difficult days.

Good Morning everyone
I thought I should mention that is was just on the CBC (Canadian) National News that Canada can expect food shortages to begin in about 2 weeks. Th reason given is the closed manufacturing/processing plants, lack of seasonal workers to get the crops off and the truckers are having a difficult time crossing the border. Also many truck stops are closed or not allowing them to use the facilities or order meals, even for take out. If you do see one of these long haul truckers pass by, give them a wave. They are doing a h*ll of a job.
The broadcast said if possible maybe get a few extras according to the limits in place.
Its a concern for all of us I know. But if this country can get through 2 World Wars and a depression, we WILL get through this. A popular quote over the years keeps running through my mind 'We are Canadian, eh!'
To all members of the Playground take care, stay healthy and stay safe. What an amazing group of people we have on this Board. Caring, encouraging, humble people from all over the world. You make the sun shine a little brighter. And that my friends is the end of my speech (I promise).
Hey, Sandy. What a beautiful post, and a great reminder. Truckers: our hats are off to you! You are one of those members who brightens up the place. I see many here are using the quarantine time to work in the garden...have you planted anything? Hope you are well.Hey Doc Nice to hear from you and thank you.
Gardening? Well its been in the back of my mind what to do. Did clean up my Balcony. Got a new black cast iron patio set for Christmas, so the old wicker set is now on the lawn by the Creek. Also found 2 (new) wood stools at one of the Thrift stores (my bargain of the month, brand new and the crazy price of $5.00 each). Going to put planters on the stools but not sure what I should put in them. Thinking of trying Basil and Rosemary again. Last year was awful , the herbs produced about half a small jar each and that was from 12 Basil plants and 4 Rosemary plants. That's never happened before. I was talking to an Arborist
and she told me a few ideas.
I know you have much more space than I do, what are you planting this year, Doc?

That's an accident waiting to happen . How about you MORGAN? Looking to try yeast yet? I heard from a friend of mine that he is running out of yeast and finding it hard to get any more (maybe more people are trying their hand at baking buns and bread)
I didn't actually look for any at the stores but I still have a big jar of it in my fridge.
Hi everyone I hope you all ok an have a good Night please? I'm okay - just having one of those 'hungry' days where I feel like eating more than I should (I wonder why?) Have to go upstairs soon and soak in a tub of warm water with some Epsoms salts. Maybe that will make me feel better.
Hope you have a good night too!

Cast iron patio furniture is classy and durable. Bet it looks nice. I've got green Adirondack chairs made of some sort of rubbery plastic. They and the cockroaches will survive "the bomb", LOL. I won't be planting anything due to flooding issues this winter but I hope to pot some various flowers and herbs just before summer. Maybe I will try basil, like you did. I may do tomatoes again and marigolds...that's always given. When I decide, I'll be sure to post in garden thread with pics. Hope you do, too.

Hi Doc The Adirondack chairs are attractive and comfortable and agree with you they are durable. We see many of those type of chairs in Cottage Country and in the North. Many
I've seen are made of wood, but expensive. Hundreds of dollars each. Basil can be used in many dishes one cooks or bakes. There are so many different types of Basil now and have tried a few but always go back to the original, its much more versatile for cooking/baking. Did try Cinnamon Basil last year, but the cinnamon was so potent there was really no recipe I wanted to add it too. Have you ever grown Thyme, Doc? That's another one that can be used in many recipes. Yes, I'll post pics, if I can get the da*n plants to grow this year. Don't forget to fertilize them every few weeks with a fertililizr that is for herbs/vegetables. (You probably already knew that ).

NEESY I heard about the shortage of yeast when I was at the grocery store. It was on the news last night too.
Either there are lots of brave people out there making bread or homemade beer is popular these days.

Hmmm - I never thought of that!
I had a friend in Edmonton who made his own beer and he would buy kits (this was back in the 90s) so maybe you are right!
Today I tried a new recipe from the Looneyspoons Collection - it was called "Pimped Out Pumpkin Pie Pancakes" - I had one with pure maple syrup - yum!
They do have 217 calories per pancake but I felt like a treat this morning
{Spoiler} I am doing pretty good on the weight loss but it is coming off very slowly

You're most likely right
The only thing I could find about it here locally i.e. Canada, is this one story out of Calgary Alberta:
