My go to for kale is making pesto. Blanch it first and then just use it instead of basil. Bonus that it keeps its brilliant green colour unlike basil which turns brown within minutes.

With a good olive oil, fresh garlic and lots of parm and roasted nuts (I like pecans or pistachios). Hit it with a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten it just a touch. Delicious.

I love classic Dr Hook before they took themselves too seriously. Well one of them took themselves too seriously



And yes--Dr Hook and the medicine show(their early year) was the basis of the Muppets band

Marital strife .... i want to jump sometimes too..
Don't do it. You might live and then have to have your mother in law feed you and bath you for the rest of your days.;)



At first glance at this, I thought it was someplace in Iran or Syria, but sadly, this is in downtown Vancouver, CANADA. And despite the fact these people are tied to Hamas, they are not named as part of a terrorist group, or, at the very least, inciting violence. What a sad state this country is in. People used to be so grateful for coming here and becoming proud Canadians. Now, we are apparently just used a mouthpiece for propoganda and further causes back in the old country.

They are call 'outlaws' for a reason.... can't imagine she would do that for me though...

Yup, Canada is paying for having marijuana legal.

Surprised that no one in that picture is smoking! Flying is definitely a different experience today than it was when I took my first flight. By the way, I really miss Wardair.
I miss Air Canada and Westjet from 7 years ago. Westjet has fallen quite a bit I hear as I was never a huge fan but seems like the only way to get out of Edmonton now.

We used to take the Thursday/Sunday gambling junket flight to Vegas fairly often, and in those days if you gambled you probably smoked (we weren’t smokers), so the airline had a defined non smoking section, which consisted of the headrest of the last seat in the row before the smoking section, being about one inch higher than the other headrests. Shockingly that did not prevent the smoke from coming into our ‘section.’ ;) Wardair flights to Hawaii were legendary, with the Mai Tai bar.
