Oh lordy, it's cold here. I'm back to wearing a coat and gloves. Feel sorry for our birds, too. I gave them some extra treats today. I love the Mourning Dove. Your photo makes me want to reach in and cuddle it. Cute photo of you and Miss V. Something to treasure. Your lasagna looks a lot like the one I make and I use cottage cheese, too. Hope it warms up tomorrow for you...and me.
ReplyDeleteI wore gloves today too.....and a ig scarf!
DeleteThe doves are delightful, aren't they?
Yes.....cottage cheese!
I hope so too, Deb!
We had a fire to take the chill off, darn right cold and windy today! It called for tea and a book snuggled under a blanket.
ReplyDeleteI put some logs on tonight too!
DeleteWee bit more to do on the afghan....
You need to drive over that water and visit Suzie! ha.
ReplyDeleteBread looks wonderful! I need to make that soon!..except...when I do, I can't keep out of it! ha.
We replaced our front door about 4 years ago. SO expensive!
Can you see me waving? :-)
DeleteNo need to drive over water, Betsy.....we are much closer than that!
DeleteSuzanne is in Toronto....I am in Mississauga.....about 1/2 tops!
We really should meet 1/2 way.....right Suzanne? Perhaps Sherway Mall?
I was shocked at the price of the doors! But....I have very expensive taste! Ha!
I am waving back!
DeleteDefinitely!
DeleteCan I come ? . . . . lol
DeleteWhat do you think Suzanne???
DeleteCan Eddie come too?
Oh yes - Eddie is welcome too!
DeleteThere you go Eddie....get packin'!
DeleteHey! Wait for me. I'm coming too. :)
DeleteWhat a meeting that would be!!!
DeleteRoad trip!
DeleteThey "say" it's supposed to be in the 60's next week in Northern Michigan ... what's what about "proof is in the pudding"?? Your cakes look delish ... will have to search your blog for a recipe (hopefully)!! Fireplace back on at our house ... even though we'd cleaned it out and shut it down for the winter ... just TOO cold! Eye exam today ... dilated my pupils and am so happy when they are back to normal. Slight prescription change so that means $$$$ for new glasses. It seems ANYTHING you do in the way of home improvement or maintenance is costly anymore. No choice though! Stay warm and hugs to that little angel! Linda
ReplyDeleteI had an eye exam, and new glasses are ordered!
DeleteApparently, I will see a LOT better!
Thanks for visiting, Linda!
Your baking and cooking inspires me, Linda. I do cook dinner every night but baking eludes me as I'm always trying to shake off those pesky pounds. But yogurt and berries with the cake...that's a yes! You and Miss V are precious in the photo. You give me the most loveliest compliments in selfie photos...have you ever looked in a mirror? Stunning!
ReplyDeleteWarmest here today all week-51 degrees, but nights are dipping below freezing. I lug in my urn of pansies about 7 p.m. Spoiled rotten plants!
Stay cozy.

Hi Jane.....
DeleteI do cheat with these loaves...I use a cake mix....but add frozen thawed bananas, berries and lemon zest....
It makes me think they are healthier! Hahahaoh,
Oh...I look in the mirror WAY too much.....but, thanks for your kind words :o)
We are in the freeze too....
How is your dear lake house coming along?
Yeah, I'm with the birdies. Where is spring? I was out all day and was freezing most of it. I refused to give in and wear my winter coat so it was mostly my fault. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright red of the cardinal and the blue of the berries - such a nice composition. Juniper berries?
Went for lunch with friends and had wonderful Chinese dumplings - soooooo good. We had three types - one plate was fried (pork and chive) and then two plates of steamed (pork and cabbage, and spinach and black mushroom). Plus an order of shanghai noodles. Delish. Then off to another place for a double macchiato and chocolate soufflé. Needless to say, I am not having dinner!
Your lasagna and beautiful loaves look so appetizing and colourful.
And what a sweet picture of L&V - "L" and "V" = LOVE :-)
You must dress for the weather Suzanne!
DeleteYou do have the best lunches!
You do say the nicest things....LOVE.....♥️.......beautiful!
Yes...Juniper berries.....good eye Suzanne!
DeleteI think you should enter Masterchef Canada for the next season!! Your lemon bread and lasagna look so yummy. And Miss V looks like she's enjoying her dinner. What a great skyline view of the big city! It was rainy and chilly here today with that east wind and we may wake to snow in the morning. I wish this swirling weather system would blow on out of the east and head north or somewhere. We need spring weather. Have a super weekend of celebrating. xx Pam
ReplyDeleteHa! That would be fun! But.......no......just a good home cook.
DeleteMiss V loves her Nana's pasta....peanut butter sandwiches....cake &berries....and fish!
This weather sucks....hoping it moves AWAY!
What a fun post! Your meals look soooooo delicious. And that bread? I just want to reach into the screen and grab some. Where are my manners? And as always, that little girl is a doll!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is cold here! Where is that darn spring?
Ha! You make me laugh Martha....
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your break....
I always forget that Lake Ontario and Lake Erie lie above and beneath each other on the ends and have to look at a map to reorient myself. I've been driving along the lake on my way to and from work. Every day is different and every day on my way home I think, "I should have packed my camera."
ReplyDelete:0)
Hi Martha!
DeleteI lose my bearings, when we go under Lake Ontario....can't figure out east from west....But I do know....
The cottage is South!
Always take your camera!
How was your day?
All my life the Lake has been north. I never get lost because when you live in a lakeside town, you can only go so far off course driving north. Here the lake reorients me instead of throwing me off.
DeleteThe last two days at work were pretty good. There are some bumps in the road, but I'm getting there.
:0)
I am sure you are doing a great job...
DeleteIt seemed like such a short training session...
Happy Belated Earth Day. Your food photos always look delish. I'm a little different, I use ricotta in my lasagna. I also love the photo of Nana and Miss V. It was sooo cold today, reminds me of a picture book that I used to read in my Grade one classroom, "Where is Spring?" Enjoy the family on the weekend, LSK...
ReplyDeleteHi Hester....
ReplyDeleteI used ricotta a few times....I prefer the cottage cheese.....moister, I think.
It was bloody cold today....scarf and gloves again!
