What's new



Daughter L told us about this American Drama Netflix series called Firefly Lane and we have been enjoying this series starring Katherine Heigl.  Gigi told me about his Korean medical drama on Netflix called The Trauma Code.  That is really good too.

In other news we have been having major winter storms this past week, doing a lot of digging out.  Our city seems to be appropriating shopping malls and grocery stores in order to build condos.  It means the traffic will get worse of course.  And where are we to shop.

Cheerful Monk shared  this Instagram video with us that I had to share with you.

Family Day



 It is the long family day weekend.  Daughter L and her husband met us for lunch on Valentine's Day.  We enjoyed lunch at a Japanese sushi restaurant.  

Here are some interesting sushi facts they had printed on a placemat.  It says eating sushi with your hands is not considered impolite, among other things.


It would've been my dear departed mom's 87th birthday today.

Scary Nutrition Label


 One of my sisters scared me with the nutrition facts on one slice of KFC chicken breast.  It has 35g of fat or 54% of your daily recommended allowance.  I suppose it includes eating the skin on.

We had purchased a buy one get one free bucket deal they were running for the Superbowl last week perhaps.  We did enjoy it and and son K and I don't eat the skin but husband M does.  I also love their cole slaw.  We got onion rings instead of fries not that it is any healthier.
