I got 'egg bite' molds this week and tried them out this morning in my Instant Pot, worked well. Made poached eggs. Might try something different tomorrow, scrambled with some veggies, etc. in them.

Chocolate chips aren't getting any cheaper at Costco. Unfortunately this seems to be the cheapest price for them (by weight). Fortunately I still have some.

Did you know that if your kid is out of province for school, you're supposed to let MSI know so that their coverage can continue? I did know this since mine was away the last three years (learned from a tweet a few years back), but I forgot to do it since he went to a different province this year.

Cheese update. Made my lasagnas, this deal wasn't a deal at all. The Saputu website tells the tale. It's 'processed cheese food with mozzarella cheese flavour'? It's like I put white Kraft singles on my lasagna.

I recently got a tool that can seal up tortillas for you. I'm still in my 'tortilla all the things' moment. 🤣 Ham, eggs and cheese in there, tossed in the air fryer for a little bit.

Went to RMV to renew my license. So easy when you book an appointment, took less than 10 minutes, in and out. But the parking lot - even as an experienced driver, figuring out what lines are yours was a bit challenging!

Making Tiktoks? Or Tick Talks? In unrelated questions, why was this in my reply before I started typing? What about me and my behavior made them believe I was about to respond in Arabic?

I've been poking around on the Municipal Archives site this morning, saw this image described, "Aerial photograph of apartment buildings at Dunbrack and Willet St." I'm thinking the big building in the foreground is 105 Dunbrack, what do you folks think? Hard to identify from a 50+ year old pic.

I went to Gateway earlier for some of their sale items, many of the sweet potatoes looked like this (I know for .47/lb they won't likely be perfect). Is this from pests or what? I dug through and got some without holes.

Looking on the bright side, I got a deal on a case of chicken drumsticks at Gateway. On the less bright side, I'm going to have to do something with these today because 40 pounds of chicken takes up significant fridge real estate. Fortunately we have a large upright deep freeze.

The valley was not smoky, only one spot near Aylesford that we smelled a bit. Brought my own jars and picked up some fresh honey (the one with the sunbeam in it has some special properties).

Tomorrow is the national day for Truth and Reconciliation. It may be just a day off for you. But maybe take a moment to think about those who attended Residential Schools. This is an excerpt from my late Dad's application for admission to the Shubenacadie Residential School in 1944. He was SIX.
