Crabapple?


 Son K and I were out for an afternoon walk a couple of weeks ago and I snapped this photo, it looks like a crabapple plant.

Neighbourhood Grapes


 I was out for a walk and noticed these grapes hanging from a vine in a walkway as they do year after year.  The fence was covered with them.

7 minute ramen eggs


 I recently tried making 7 minute ramen eggs and was happy with the result as pictured above.  Oh one of the eggs failed but we ate it anyway.

Pour enough water to half cover the eggs into a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Add the eggs, cover for 7 minutes. Remove the eggs immediately and cool them off in a bowl of ice cold water.  They will peel off easily after they are cooled.  Slice lengthwise.  I shake a little salt and pepper over my eggs.

Fresh Basil and miscellaneous stuff


 These basil plants were on sale at the grocery store so I got a couple of them.  I googled that they are annual plants as opposed to perennials so they have to be replanted every year.  I will just keep them as house plants for as long as they last and pluck the leaves off for cooking.

Yesterday I spoke to an elderly neighbour who is moving out of her home soon.  She will move to a nearby condominium apartment as the current home is too large for her.  It seems her husband has been in a long term care home for years.  We have never spoken in the 25 years I have lived in the neighbourhood.  I remember my children used to get fun Halloween candy at her house for years.  I would say she kept to herself and I never saw her outside much if at all.

Son K and I advance voted for the September 20th federal elections in Canada, where we will decide on a new government.  Husband M was busy but has until Monday to vote in advance.

And Remembering 9/11.
