On Easter Eggers

 A little over a week ago I posted some interesting facts about polar bears, zebras and chickens.  It resulted in me receiving a few more interesting comments on 'Easter Eggers', bluebirds and blue jays. 

MaryP said the Easter Egger chicken variety lays pink blue and green eggs.  Here is more information.  

Then Lorraine said bluebirds and blue jays aren't actually blue they are brown but appear blue because of the way the light interacts with their feathers.

Have you heard of the Easter Egger variety of chickens?

Birthday Cupcakes


 Son K celebrated his birthday a few weeks ago and daughter L ordered these surprise cupcakes for him.  They were delicious.  He had the sprinkle cupcake first.  The other flavours were red velvet with cream cheese icing, strawberry with strawberry icing, nutella, chocolate and oreo.

The Scarborough Bluffs




 My sister shared these photos of the Scarborough Bluffs where they went for a hike/walk on a nice day last week.  It has been awhile since I was in that area.  It is prone to soil erosion and can be dangerous if/when people ignore warning signs.

Meme Wednesday and Kathy's Food Wednesday


 






For Kathy's Food Wednesday I am sharing my takeout fish and chips platter that I had this past Good Friday.  This place has the best cole slaw, I think it has vinegar and sugar and the cabbage is so crunchy.


Also, I added some photos of my sister's egg bites to last week's food post.  Some people seemed interested in making it.

Hockey Game


 Husband M went downtown to a Maple Leaf Hockey game recently with a friend who had tickets.  He sent us this photo.  People are not wearing masks much anymore but I believe he wore his.  They had a nice dinner before the game.  It is nice to get out a bit more these days although Covid is still rampant.

I watched a bit of the game on TV since M was there, however the ads were so boring.  Mostly car type ads and gambling casino ads.  There were a few family oriented ads to be fair.  I have no business watching a sports channel haha.
