Weird Water

 This is a simply magical 3 minute video from BBC Ideas on why water is weird.  Every drop of water on earth has been reused and recycled over billions of years.  There is water all over the solar system.  It discusses the capillary action of water to get valuable nutrients to plants, even through our own blood vessels.  It said that hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions.  It led to me googling on this Mpemba effect.

I love learning.

Sabor Dominicana Coffee Beans

 One of my sisters travels a lot and she gave me these coffee beans from the Dominican Republic.  Husband M ground them in our old coffee grinder and we can't wait to try some.

 Husband M and I went to the Taste of the Kingsway  a few weeks ago, a summer food festival.  One of his sisters lives in the area and invited family members to attend.  The event had not been held for 2 years during covid.  There was a live band and there was a decent crowd this year.  

The street food prices were expensive compared to the years when the meals were offered for $2.  Restaurants are trying to recover.

More importantly, it was nice to get together with family again.

An Irresistible Deal

 My friend S gave me a $1 Chapman Ice Cream coupon and told me that a local supermarket was offering buy one get one deals on this type of Ice Cream.    So off I went and got these 2 boxes of ice cream sandwiches for a total of $6.99!

Son K was surprised but delighted that I bought this as I am always talking about healthy eating. I don't think it's too bad.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Harvest Dinner and Kale Soup

Welcome to Rain's Art and Dinner Date. I am showing my harvest dinner piece ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").

 For the dinner date I am showing these guacamole chips that daughter L made in the summer. She was using up this tub of guacamole dip and added some shredded cheese to the mix.  

I also made some kale soup using my bean soup recipe.  Simply add the chopped up kale in the last 10 minutes of simmer.  I used white beans here.  It was so good!
