I watched the last rock thrown today in the last game played between Canada and Scotland. I'm sure you all know that Scotland won. Canada, I am proud to say, came "home" with the Silver Medal! I was proud and happy of the fact that they are second in the world. What saddened me though and kind...

Trex is quite right about the Splenda. It sounds expensive when you go to buy it and to a certain degree, it is expensive. It comes in quite a large size package so that you can use it for baking and as he says, it comes it both white and brown. As Petros has pointed out, you can also use Stevia...

It's amazing! A week ago we had some snow flurries. Today - well - I had the door open for awhile to let the fresh air in it's so nice out there. People are raking and planting and digging. Just a moment ago, much to my surprize, I heard someone start up a lawn mower. It is still running so they...

SURREY, B.C. - Police laid more charges Saturday in the execution of six men in an apartment in 2007, a horrific crime that awoke residents in the Vancouver area to the ugly reality of the brutal gang war that continues to be waged on their streets. Two men - Cody Ray Haevischer and Matthew...

Both on the computer news and on Television, they are reporting that a new worm is to activate itself for April 1st. They admit it could be an April Fool's joke but they are not expecting that it is a joke. It is called the CONFICKER WORM. Apparently we could already have it on our computers...

So finally, one thing very Canadian will be manufactured in our home country. Our own flags were being made in China. How sad is that? We have ferries in BC that were built in Germany! How sad is that? Flags bought on behalf of Ontario politicians to be made here, not in China at 22:46 on...

I sear every roast beef I cook. Depending on the size of the pork tenderloin, I may do it too. Often they are too tiny to bother searing. If you sear the meat, you really don't need the bag - just the lid is fine. For about the last 10 min. of cooking I remove the lid. Gives a final "browning"...

Zan, Save-On also sells a neat meat thermometer for about $9.95. I have done demo's in the meat department and the thermometer they sell is the same one they gave me to use for demo's. It's battery operated and not much bigger than a ball pt. pen. I was cooking pork schnitzel and had to cook it...

Since this goes before the courts again in a few days perhaps it would be a plan to consider what the RCMP Commissioner has to say. This became a rather volatile topic last time and since it will be in the news again in a few days, I am adding this article, in the hope that it can be discussed...

I did not realize until this post that you were(are) an American! I wondered why anyone would think those temps. were "cool or even cold". It is 8 degrees here but that is Celsius so it really sounds cold. It is chilly but the sun is trying hard to come out. We have had a colder than usual...

Thanks for adding this thread. I do have a bread maker - one of my kids has it so I must ask for it back. I know they don't use it. It never occurred to me to make anything different from the recipes they offer in the book. I also had no idea you could bake the bread in the oven instead and that...

I have no idea if this is what you are looking for but I went web fishing and this is what I came across: Pukka Pie Mine is chicken pie (with mushrooms) too! Its my grandma's recipe, and I make it myself. Here's a rough recipe: - chicken thighs, cooked in a skillet, deboned, most skin...

Daylight Saving Time starts March 8, 2009. Do you love it or do you hate it or do you just plain not care? I love daylight saving time. I truly wish though that we could just "spring forward" and stay there as far as the time goes. I would rather not be into the back and forth aspect of the...

Yes they are - in more ways then one! :-P

I grew up in a big family. Sometimes when money was in short supply - so was food and we had pancakes for supper. They have never been my favourite thing to eat. I can get past one if I have to but I avoid them if I can (as long as I am not hurting anyone's feelings) and they are a very...

I'm sure many of you have noticed Spade often signs "cousin Spade". Spade goes by the premise that all of us on earth are related to each other. Therefore, we are all cousins. I thought some of you may have some thoughts of your own regarding our relationship to each other. I'm assuming that...

People work all winter to avoid catching a cold or flu from those around them, but a new study reveals that something much sunnier spreads through daily contact: Happiness. Friends, spouses, siblings and neighbours influence each other's happiness when they become happy themselves, researchers...

Do you like and/or use the self serve check outs available to you in places like Home Depot, Canadian Tire and for those who live in BC - The Overwaitea Food Group. If you do - you are taking away someone's job. These check-outs have been installed in the store I am employed at. I was there...
