🇨🇦 I found a new Canadian brand of pasta sauce made in Leamington, ON, on sale at Superstore for $0.74. I’m stocking up for the winter, and buying some for the Food Bank. #Canada #buyCanadian

Tonight’s dinner is called Farewell Garden Soup. This is the last of my veggies from the fall harvest: carrots, onions, broccoli, chives and potatoes. I added celery, leftover hominy, garlic, spices and tomato juice. 🇨🇦 #dinner #soup #gardening #cooking

I’ll be ready to harvest lettuce in about a week, the herbs will be ready in about four weeks. I love my hydroponic station. :)

My toque didn’t survive the wash. Time to make a new one. This is the Maine Cables Hat pattern, made with Malabrigo in #Ravelry Red colourway. I dropped in a bunch of lifelines because I keep messing up and having to rip
It back. #knitting

Dinner tonight is jambalaya, made with tomatoes, onions and jalapeños from my garden, turkey and a shrimp ring I found in the back of the freezer. Okra, peppers and celery were at the end of their life in my fridge, and canned corn and mushrooms. Hubby adds sausage to his.

We don’t waste food.

My dogs think you’re awesome, and that your opinion was probably right. Don’t listen to those other people.

Watching a Canadian horror film tonight, that I borrowed from the library. It’s gory and amazing!

Happy Hallowe’en! I had nostalgia about the homemade treats from the 1970s, and made popcorn balls. They taste just like Cracker Jack (without peanuts). I’ll definitely make these again. 🎃

My house is ready for #Hallowe’en. I hope the rain stops tomorrow so the kids can have a good night of trick or treating.

I’m taking a break from knitting, and picking up a craft I haven’t done since high school. Bargello is so relaxing. 🇨🇦 #bargello

This is tonight’s entertainment that I borrowed from the library. I’m not regretting cancelling most of my subscriptions. :)
