Chicken Big Mac

 

McDonald's has introduced the Chicken Big Mac in Canada starting today.  I don't even eat Big Mac's anymore but this may be worth a try at some point.

Mini Apple Fritters and Complaining Day

 I saw these mini apple fritters at the grocery store the other day and they are being eaten up quickly!

My blogger backup hasn't been working, never had that problem before, I try to do that every 3 months.  Then my online credit card statement was delayed for a known problem, it is being mailed to me instead.  Then my Rakuten cheque is also late, hopefully not stolen.

Yes, this is complaining day.  Usually things work smoothly.

Tourtiere with Cauliflower Rice and Ground Pork

 I made this delicious tourtiere (meat pie) with ground pork and cauliflower rice.  I cheat with supermarket pie crust.  I looked at a recipe for homemade pie crust, it uses a cup of butter for 2 crusts.  This explains why pies are so delicious, but perhaps it should not be eaten too often.

Artificial Intelligence

 

Have you tried Chatgpt yet?  It is an artificial intelligence chatbot.

Chatgpt is web-based.  Go to chat.openai.com,

create an account with your email.  Then login and ask questions!

Daughter L told me her friends use it to help build their resumes.  My nephew used it to build a nice card for his brother's special birthday recently.  He just input some relevant facts in his question.
