Happy Sunday Everyone!
How was your weekend?
Mine was glorious. Yesterday Lee and I spent the day doing *stuff*. It was gorgeous outside. We visited the St.Jacobs Market (be on the look out for a delicious maple syrup post from me this week) ;) I LOVE the St.Jacobs Market. It was soooo busy yesterday and lots of outdoor vendors were out and about! The scent was heavily (think...sausage, back bacon, veggie burgs on a bun!) We then went out to our favorite Thai restaurant where I tried a vegetarian pad Thai (LOVED IT), explored a local British treats shop...where yes, I DID buy some Easter eggs (galaxy mmm), and then at night, we spent some time with my grandpa at the hospital and brought him some of his favorite treats :) All in all...it was a day well spent.
I wanted to share with you some advice I found from an old cookbook :)
I found it most amusing...
How To Preserve Children
1 large grassy field
1/2 dozen children
2 or 3 small dogs
Pinch of brook and some pebbles
Mix the children and the dogs well together and put them in the field, stirring constantly. Pour the brook over the pebbles, sprinkle the fields with flowers. Spread over all a deep blue sky and bake in the hot sun. When thoroughly brown, remove and set away to cool in a bathtub.
How To Preserve a Husband (or wife)
First, use extreme care in selection. Find one tender and healthy. If you choose one recklessly, it may not keep. Do not refrigerate. Keep at room temperature. Too much heat makes them turn sour. Sweeten with smiles and spice with patience. To ensure consistency, stir gently; never beat and don't leave unattended. To add a delicious flavor, sprinkle generously with praise and appreciation. Keep a small, steady flame going at all times. The poor specimen may be improved if you follow these instructions and will keep for a number of years.
:) hahaha. Love this.
