It's a weird trick I never would have tried but for me it works perfectly! <br />Walking Scout this week has been very challenging, the sidewalks were never cleared. They've been very short walks and she's going a bit nuts.

I am very disciplined about this but when I bring MrBP with me things can easily get out of control. He'll also go off to look for something and come back with 5 things not on the list, he's a proper menace in that store. xxxDaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-49524999154088023032018-04-19T07:11:49.620-04:002018-04-19T07:11:49.620-04:00Ann it was even worse than it looked!

For years I have been using an old fashioned food mill for several reasons. First, you don't peel the apples which means you keep that lovely colour, nevermind the nutrients from the apples and of course this takes less time. Once you put the whole cooked glop through the mill it comes our either silky smooth or chunky dunky depending on the "bottom plate" you choose. Very easy to clean and so much more time-effective. I use lots of cinnamon and sometimes a little orange instead of lemon. Great tip on the avocados - haven't been to Cosco in a while as the last time I went I managed to spend the equivalent of a mortgage on a small home on items that were just SUCH A GREAT DEAL - but, I can be disciplined and will return.

My husband had to take a train to Toronto yesterday to get his connection to Amsterdam - Air Canada wasn't even putting people on hold so he and his colleague decided train was best. After all that (his colleague discovered just before boarding the train that he had forgotten his passport, so he had to take a later train, very touch and go!) the flight was delayed for 5 hours in all and they didn't leave until nearly 2 am (but at least they've arrived and can rest up before work on Tuesday). I'm definitely staying in today!<br /><br />I would never have thought that the avocado trick would have worked - I've always thought that once you put something like that in the fridge it won't ripen. I'll have to try it too. <br /><br />Stay safe Dani, I hope Scout understands if he can't have his walk today!
