Time for a Mammogram

 Frozen bananas, blueberries and raspberries with milk.  The milk froze around the fruit like ice cream, so good!

I went for a mammogram on the 22nd, it is recommended every two years.  This place is so efficient and quick, if painful.  They took me ten minutes early, did a temperature check and I was out in half an hour.  They promised results within 5 business days, that sounded quite quick.

Lunchtime

 Sharing a recent lunch I had with you today.  It is half a homemade onion bun, scrambled eggs with cheese and some broccoli sauteed with basil.

Natalia had posted a simple recipe for her homemade sauerkraut and I was thinking of trying it.  My family asked me to make more bread instead, as sauerkraut is easy enough to get at the grocery store.  So that is why I had some onion bread for lunch!  The onion bread is a favourite and also Natalia's recipe!

 

Fresh jalapenos

 My friend S dropped off these lovely jalapenos along with some fresh basil and kale.  So I was busy that morning making kale chips, kale stem pesto, and I will use the jalapenos in some chili I plan to make another day.  S is adjusting to new covid school routines in her job as a school administrator.  

The Dream

 I decided to throw some frozen blueberries into my salad the other day and they were delicious!

So the other night, I dreamt that I was getting my hair cut at this inexpensive salon near my grocery store.  After giving some brief instructions to the hairdresser, it didn't seem to be going well, in fact it was looking awful...then I woke up.  I think it means I am ready for a haircut, it has been at least 6 months.  We will see as we seem to be going into a 2nd wave of Covid, Ontario's numbers are back up to where they were in June at the peak.

Garlic and Herb Biscuits
