What we need to know

We just received this Cannabis information in the mail.  It is legal in Canada as of October 17, 2018.  I must say it is a bit scary as we adjust.   It is illegal to take cannabis across the Canadian border.  We are being asked to store it away from children, youth and pets.  It is a criminal offence to drive while drug impaired.  Legal cannabis will have an excise stamp on product labels.  There are strict penalties for selling cannabis to youth under age (18 or 19 or older depending on your province).

Robot Restaurant

server

Son K went to this restaurant called Robo Sushi recently. He and his friends were very impressed.  they were met by a robot host (in a stereotypical blue colour), who led them to their table.  Then before long the robot server came out (in a stereotypical pink colour).  This robot  had tray compartments in the middle bearing the dishes.  It would wink when you took the last plate off.  It was impressive how the robots made their way back to the  kitchen, turning past tables, stopping if kids got in the way (the excited kids thought they were so cute), or if someone had their leg stuck out, it seemed to know to stop.  K said they were in and out of the restaurant in an hour, compared to the regular 2 hours it would take without robots.  The only danger he could see is that one day they could take over the world with all this artificial intelligence.

Paint Party Friday - Dior

It's Paint Party Friday time! This is a Dior designer dress based on one that I saw in the newspaper.  I guess I did this one in seasonal Halloween colours.  It's done on brown cardstock (4 1/2" x 6 1/2") with my Sharpie white marker and black permanent marker.

Success

Cinnamon pumpkin donut muffins

I had great success making these cinnamon pumpkin doughnut muffins shared at MyFaithisOverlowing's blog.  These mini muffins are so delicious, either that or I am addicted to cinnamon.  Instead of the final step of rolling in the cinnamon mixture I sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top of the muffins before baking.  I happened to have a bottle of it.

Fantastic

Daughter L came home with these Sharpie paint markers that a wonderful friend had gifted her with. She says I am welcome to use them. I cannot wait, stay posted for upcoming Sharpie paint marker art. There are oil based ones, waterbased ones and a couple of acrylic ones.  How fantastic is this, not to mention the array of bright colours!

Celebration

Hope all the Canadians had a happy Thanksgiving long weekend. Daughter L got us this celebration cake for our 30th wedding anniversary yesterday. I baked some chicken legs and made stuffing and gravy.

On Sunday we attended the extended family gathering and enjoyed turkey. It was great to see everyone and hear all the latest news.
This year there seems to be a lot of health problems. We can only hope for the best for everyone as the years go by and kids grow up.

In other news, I am pleased to announce I was the winner of Rain's recent cookbook giveway. I am beyond thrilled and excited, thanks again Rain! Her random generator video made winning all the more exciting, seriously. Also I can't wait the see the Williams Sunoma cookbooks.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving 2018!
