Prevention is preferable to treatment!

Just cracked a dozen eggs (store-bought). Eleven of them had a double yolk!

Double yolked eggs in a bowl with empty egg carton in the background.

The problem with doubling a recipe is remembering to double EVERY ingredient 😅

pierre and the cons still got 41.4% of the vote... that's a majority win in any other election. there's a lot of work to do to stop the far-right slide.

That echo chamber is strong, man!!

I’ve rarely regretted eating McDonald’s fries. 😅. Don’t judge me…everyone needs an occasional guilty pleasure.

Yes, it does! Cochin Ocean has a lighthouse. (It’s not a real ocean, it’s Jackfish Lake, Saskatchewan.) There is also a public beach.

Cochin lighthouse and the steps leading up the hill to it.

I think federally I’ll be happy but locally I’ll still have an MP who resembles the president of El Salvador. 😬

Voter apathy is a dangerous thing. Ill informed voting is also dangerous. We seem to have both going on here in AlberSask.

If DidNotVote was a party...
Here's a map I made after the last federal election showing that except for Alberta & Sask & PEI, eligible voters who chose not to vote were the largest single voting block in every province.
Take someone with you to vote on Monday. #Elxn45

Map of Canada in yellow with AB & SK in blue and PEI in red.
If Did Not Vote was a party in the 2021 federal election...
they would have won almost every province.
I have the actual per party voting percentages for the individual provinces if you want them but it makes for a very messy map ;-;

The bag said “naturally imperfect” but I think it’s beautiful. And delicious. And aren’t we all “naturally imperfect”?

Oh no. I hope she gets good care and is able to resume her work. She’s an amazing journalist. We need more like her.

Update. The suspects have been identified. Lol

I live in a place where someone stole an ice cream cake when it’s -30 outside and it made the local news. I wish I were kidding.

Check out the pretty page edges of this book. 😍

Three books stacked, showing side view from bottom right corner. Middle book has geometric patterns printed on the edges of the pages.

Yes, I’m sure it’s meant to be ironic, but she won’t see it that way.

The problem with information is that disinformation is spread freely while the fact-checking is behind pay walls.

Is she still in Richmound? Maybe this winter will be cold enough that she’ll move on.

One of the most active conspiracy figures in North America is someone you likely haven’t heard of—but for the residents of Richmound, Saskatchewan, Romana Didulo’s presence is impossible to ignore.

I’ve always liked books. Collected a lot of them in my life. In recent years I’ve been getting rid of them. But not the recipe books.

I think recipes online have gotten worse. They waited until we started attacking one another for complaining about the long stories & pointing out that "I know they need to do this for SEO" & once they'd broken our spirits they removed the recipes and just left the long stories and affiliate links.
