What’s that? Could it possibly be that the tomatoes are trying to ripen? Thank goodness… the garden has been such a write off this year that we were beginning to think we wouldn’t get any harvest other than some early spinach, lettuce and, so far, ONE zucchini. Â FYI – yes, that is red mulch you […]
The last few days have not been kind to the garden–lots of rain and lower temperatures. Â Powdery mildew is trying to take hold of the squash plants, and I am seriously worried that what was shaping up to be a bumper crop of tomatoes will now be a breeding ground for blight. Despite that, this […]
This was my first triangle shawl and I absolutely loved knitting it. Â I have done a number of Anne Hanson, Knitspot, patterns now and les Abeilles is definitely up to her standards – well written and so pretty. The colour, Peony, is a big departure for me, as was the yarn; first time I tried […]
First up, a very fun knit from the Early Fall Knitty 2010 – Coquille by Mary Lou Egan. I knit the small size with 2 skeins of Crystal Place Mini Mochi (colour:108 – neptune rainbow), but the consensus on Ravelry seems to be that the shawl tends to take more yardage to complete (both sizes). […]
Just found out that the first act of my feature script LOVE LIES BLEEDING will be read at the Cold Reading Series this Thursday, July 29th. Logline: Pamela just wants to reunite in the afterlife with her dead fiancé, Grady. Problem is, Grady was a secret agent, and his coded emails have infuriated both his […]
Last Saturday we went berry picking at Driediger Farms in Langley. Â We picked strawberries, which were really close to being at the end of their season, and raspberries, which are just at the beginning of their season. Â We also grabbed four pounds of blueberries; already picked… we must have come home with almost 15 pounds […]
Chocolate was the request for this birthday, so I obliged with a fudge chocolate cake, chocolate cream cheese icing, chocolate flowers (from Chocolate Arts) Â and a little bit of fresh local strawberry compote. Here are the two cake halves, the strawberry filling and the chocolate cream cheese icing, which, I must admit, I (heavily) sampled. […]
Tomorrow I will puree this bad boy and the flea beetles plaguing the tomatoes will flee in terror…. FLEE in TERROR…. Muah… ha… ha!!!! Â As a side note, I doubt it would work on zombies, but vampires, now they would absolutely loathe it! Err, yes. Â The recipe can be found on page 117 in Gayla […]
Check out this fun online interview with me about the origins of SiftingRealities in my Creator’s Corner by SciFinal.
A bunch of little seedlings made their transitions out into the big wide world of the garden this weekend, and I thought, as a collection, they made a sweet, though photo heavy, blog post (I think there are too many commas in that last sentence…). I requested a cool three-tier wooden pot to house another […]
