To check freshness of your spices, open container & you should be able to tell what the spice is by the scent. If you can't tell, rub a bit between your fingers. If still no scent discard and buy new. Also only add spices in last 20-30 mins for full flavour in cooking. In baking add as per recipe.

🇨🇦 Trump wants Canada as the 51st state.
Carney’s answer was already clear: Never. Never. Never. Never.

Canada has no interest in joining the MAGA dumpster fire — especially when one of Trump’s first targets would be CBC, just like he went after NPR & PBS.

CLEARLY Poilievre & the cons do not understand, let alone care what the Indigenous people of Canada have been through & are still going through. We need to continue to educate ourselves, show compassion & help our fellow human beings heal & succeed in redeeming their languages & traditions.

🧡 On #TruthAndReconciliationDay remember Pierre Poilievre’s record:

❌ Admired John A. Macdonald — architect of res schools.
❌ Said survivors needed “work ethic” not compensation.
❌ Voted against UNDRIP.
❌ Promised pre-approved energy projects without consultation.

Canadians aren’t anti-American. We’re anti-Trumpism.

Tariffs, annexation threats & attacks on diversity poisoned the “special relationship.” The U.S. Ambassador may be disappointed, but he shouldn’t be surprised: we’ll defend our sovereignty

CBC tells our story.

The U.S. Ambassador says it’s “hard to find Canadians passionate about the U.S.”
We’re passionate about Canada. free speech, diversity & our own culture. Not being Trump’s 51st state.
CBC is ours. Conservatives want it gone because it won’t bow to Trumpism.

Why do all dictators target comedians? Because comedians can take a serious issue & distill it into a couple of simple sentences with a funny punchline. Comedians can puncture the dictator’s armour with satire. Humour is subversive. I support Colbert & Kimmel.

Wed was a day trip to Gimli on the shores of Lake Winnipeg about an hour north of Winnipeg Manitoba. Warm weather, light breeze, fab gal pals, great food and conversations. Walk on the beach & visit a polar bear sculpture that had been painted with aurora and indigenous theme. Perfection!

Happy #internationalchocolateday! As an unrepentant #chocoholic, I don’t really need an excuse to make one of my fave chocolate treats but then again why not take advantage of the day? So, I made a double chocolate brownie/cake with a chocolate ganache & roasted almonds. Yummy deliciousness ahead!

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

5/5: Adrian Andover has skillfully crafted his debut novel called "Whiskey Business" for a wonderful start of the "Mixology Lounge Mystery" series. I first heard of this author and book a few months ...

PP is clearly transphobic and has zero respect for the Charter Of Human Rights. Pathetic excuse for a leader and a party that "claims" to value human rights and free speech.

Poilievre defends a nurse suspended for transphobic comments.
But gender identity & expression are protected under Canadian law.

Trump is threatening Canada over our support for Palestinian statehood.

When human rights become trade leverage, we need CBC to keep us informed — not silenced.
