A Surprise

We celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary this past October 8th.  Daughter L surprised us with a breakfast delivery from McDonald's.  It was so thoughtful of her.
 

Scary Movies

 'Name one movie from this picture.  There are 40.'  I have not seen many scary movies so I cannot be of help with this meme but maybe the scary movie lovers can find some of them.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Carrot Pumpkin Cake

Thai Green Curry Shrimp with Kale Stem Pesto

 It is Canadian Thanksgiving today.  Hope you have a good one as best you can under the Covid restrictions.

Daughter L spent Thanksgiving with her fiance's family up north and made the carrot pumpkin cake pictured above.

I am showing you my kale stem pesto made with almonds and some Thai Green Curry Shrimp I made last week when my friend S stopped by with some fresh bunches of kale.  Her sister has a farm.  

My kale stem recipe has evolved and is a lot better now:

2 c kale stems cut in 3 inch pieces

3/4 c olive oil

1/4 c parmesan cheese

2 tsp lemon juice

3/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

4 cloves chopped garlic

1/2 c roasted almonds

First, blanche the kale stems in water for about 3 minutes.  In a food processor,  blend all the ingredients into a paste.

My Homemade Sausage Rolls

 I made these delicious sausage rolls using this video by John Kirkwood.   What I did notice is that my supermarket puff pastry rolls have become a lot smaller, sheesh.

Kale Pesto Pizza

The Liberty Belle kindly shared the idea that I might put pesto on my pizza and I couldn't wait to try it.  It is a great idea and very delicious!
