SPRING WITH OUTDOOR LIVING AND THOSE BEAUTIFUL TULIPS

As you know May is my favourite month. Tulips and outdoor living help to make it happen.

So a beautiful purple tulip between the rocks and you do know I love rocks too made for a sweet picture.

What you do not see is the porch with food on the table.

As the season progresses, more food will appear in this blog.

ANNIVERSARY MEMORIES

 May 15th will always be a special day.

Our wedding day.

A time to celebrate.

So today I have the memories and they were good ones.

25th anniversary trip to Rome.

40th a special anniversary book for the girls and us. The a jaunt to Montreal and Ottawa.

45th- a Harbourfront cruise and another day brunch at the Doctor's House in Kleinburg with the family.

Lots of dinners, day trips, family times, quiet Saturday nights, celebrations, family weddings.

And so much more. A lifetime.

TIM HORTONS FOR A FRIDAY NIGHT

 I love Timmies loaded bowl. Chicken, rice, some salad with hot sauce.

So I also had one of the new flatbread pizzas.

Cooking is okay but some takeout sometimes is good too.

Drank half my coffee so in the fridge. Will heat it up in the morning.

MAY-TIME TO LOOK FORWARD TO FARMERS' MARKETS

 Adolph and I had a good run at going to farmers' markets.

Our St. Jacob trips still get pageviews regularly.



The Collingwood market was a fun day.

I still go to the small Hillcrest market. 

There is something about fresh produce from the farms in Southern Ontario.

Day trips with Sonya and the kids in recent years have been fun too.

So nice weather bring on those quick jaunts. Reminds me of the fun I had with Adolph.

SPRING INTO SUMMER BARBECUE WEATHER

 Okay.

I do not have a barbecue but the family does.

So I can purchase steaks to have them barbecued by my sons-in-law.

Barbecuing alone does not cut it for me. I pan fry a steak when I want one.

But with the warmer weather approaching I look forward to a steak on the barby!!


Or a fried chicken picnic lunch would be nice too!

APRIL-THE TIME BETWEEN SPRING AND SUMMER

 April showers bring May flowers.

So it goes with good eating too. 

Almost barbecue season. One of Grandpa's favourite things.

A good barbecue especially a steak.

Now it is something for me to share at the daughters' houses.

Oh the aroma of the barbecue!

EASTER-A BLEND OF CANADIAN AND ITALIAN FOOD

 Granpa loved to make lamb and a pasta dish.

So the tradition of lamb at Easter along with sausage and chicken breasts will continue.

A pasta. Probably Longos  Lasagna.

To decide on what veggies as there are many the family enjoys.

Grocery shopping for the event continues.

Easter. A time of celebration and quiet reflection.
