This weekend I made my own candied orange peel for the first time. Not only is it easy (tho a little messy) but omg the flavour! Never buying the commercial stuff again! DYK that the stuff in the store is actually flavoured, coloured, sweetened bits of turnip???

Sheesh. Cdn gov’t says my son, a Cdn who lives in California with a green card, shouldn’t leave the US as he might not get back. I teach uni grad courses on social justice in education. Not sure if I can get across the US border these days. When will I see my son again?? ☹️

Smart thinking and thank you Swiss Lindt chocolate!
Lindt will ship chocolate from the EU to Canada (to avoid tariffs) instead of producing in the US and shipping to Canada.
A win for 🇨🇦 and a loss (job/volumn of production) for the 🇺🇸
Buy Lindt for next Easter!

Took a little break from doomscrolling geopolitical chaos to compete in my very first powerlifting meet today. And came second, beaten only by a woman my daughter’s age who competes nationally. 2 PRs. This senior citizen is pretty damned chuffed.

@explorenorth.bsky.social turned on Knowledge Network the other night to find Scenic River Journeys was about the Yukon River. If that wasn’t enough,when they were in Carcross, there you were! It was a good show tho someone should have told Bill Nighy how to pronounce local place names.
