David's Tea

I had received a free David's tea a few weeks ago so I decided to go back there and buy one.  To my surprise,  it seems I was entitled to another free tea when I had registered my email at that time!  I chose this monster mash with pumpkin butter and almond milk that they are featuring for the season. 

Happy Thanksgiving Day to all the Canadians!

Perfectly steamed eggs

Here are the steaming times for perfectly steamed eggs every time depending on how you like them:

6 minutes warm liquid yolks
8 1/2 mins fudgy yolk
11 firm yolk

remove to a plate after steaming and allow to cool naturally before shelling.

The photo above shows 8 1/2 minutes.

A new documentary

A friend recommended this good documentary which debuted recently on Netflix. It is a 3 part series called 'Inside Bill's Brain'.  It features Bill Gates, who founded Microsoft.  

In the documentary, he has all these great plans eliminate polio, he was almost there, then terrorism erupted in Nigeria and foiled that. Then he tackled safe nuclear energy. They were all ready to roll out these plants in China. Then the Trump /China trade war cancelled the agreement. He and Warren Buffet hit it off, and have become great friends, Buffet is a powerful ally.

At the end of the series we are left with the question: did Bill Gates bite off more than he can chew. It looks like it, he is not God after all.

i enjoyed this series.

And after about a year, I had my new implant tooth installed yesterday, I am good to go!  So far it is very comfortable, I can hardly tell the difference from the rest of my existing teeth, although nothing is as good as your natural teeth.

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Horror and Scary

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date, It is 'Horror and Scary' day. My piece is done on brown cardstock (4 12" x 6 1/2") in sharpie oil paint markers and permanent markers.  It is meant to be eyeballs and brains served up in a bloody sauce, it is scary just saying it, eeps.

Glorious Fall Weather

It was a glorious fall day yesterday, a light cooling breeze, perfect sweater weather. I took these photos for you. Husband M and I celebrate our 31st wedding anniversary today.

The cashier at the local drug store told me she was feeling stressed as all the Christmas deliveries are starting to arrive at the store.  Yes, Christmas and Halloween is not even here yet.
