I usually walk the dog at noon and my partner does the after dinner one. Today we switched. He told me I’d get lots of comments on the leash. Sure enough I got two. People appreciate being able to see us. #Visibility #Walking #Dogs
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says the provincial government is reaching the limits of what it can do to ease the cost of living without sacrificing the revenue needed to fund public services, and that corporate giants need to do their part.

This soup is amazing. Creamy peanut butter soup from an old cookbook with upgrades from Luccamerel. I made a few mistakes like too many chili peppers. 🌶️ 🥵 I’ll definitely be making it again. 10/10!

also enjoying the trend of starting sentences with lower-case, to go full anti-capitalist.
a bit harder to read, but you can use line breaks.
Starting to have immodest thoughts subsequent to interactions. In a “why not have fun, we’re all going to die” sort of way.
Loving that students around the world are refusing to participate quietly in the destruction of all things.
The good kind of contagion.

This is why Canada needs high speed rail from Quebec to Windsor - so it can feed into the US #hsr network.

Make mistakes in routing so that planes and people will be sent to the wrong place in the country.
The kid is now thinking of exploring the electrical engineering diplomas at Algonquin. We went to their site but were surprised that there aren't any up coming open houses. This is prime registration time! My kid has questions and if they decide to go that route then their whole 2nd semester needs to change sooner rather than later.
Navigating post secondary has always been weird when you didn't grow up with it in your chosen country.
Never seen so many crows and geese! It was very lively. Also tons of chickadees as usual. One white-breasted nuthatch and one white -throated sparrow. Chipmunks and squirrels everywhere. Definitely getting ready for winter
The added advantage is now my #android phone and laptop can also access this PC, meaning a lot of devices can use the same software suite even with limited resources.
Well I did it! I made Creamy Peanut Butter soup but I followed Luccamerels suggestions. Added soy sauce, coconut cream, hot peppers and mushrooms. So far it smells and tastes pretty good.
Going to try to go on a little nature walk today. Haven't been able to do much of anything these past 2-3 weeks 😬

Q for my #SpoonCarving people (do I have any of those?)
I've got this little maple spoon ready for finishing. Joshua Vogel ("The Artful Wooden Spoon") tells me to boil it for 10ish minutes and then dry for a couple days before oiling. Jogge Sundqvist ("Slojd in Wood") recommends only a light spritzing of water followed by a light sanding prior to oiling.
Anyone have any experience with boiling vs no boiling to share? I'm nervous about subjecting this little utensil to boiling, but the idea of sterilizing and stabilizing the wood sounds good.
Here is today's cake, in parts and then all together. I made it up, using a few other people's recipes as the basis for various components. I love Amarena Cherries and chocolate so this seemed like a great way to combine them. And, of course, Chocolate. It will be messy when cut but so worth it!
This was my first time whipping the cream by hand--not fun but it was only a half cup so my mixer would not have worked.

The scales are right there doing nothing - you might as well put them to work.
"Crows can make decisions twice as fast as humans, scientists discover"
Without a doubt - and probably their decisions are twice as smart too.
