Things here on the flatland are pretty good this morning. The weatherman is predicting that we are supposed to be getting closer to seasonal temps, which means that some of this might actually melt...

So, I'm not sure if my friends south of the border have heard, but as of Friday, we are being sent to the polls AGAIN! The joys of electing a minority goverment repeatedly. Gah! One thing I have to say I like about Canadian elections though... There are very specific limitations on how long the campaign actually lasts (36 days). I just hope that we get a clear majority this time, so that maybe the government can get something done and we don't have to do this again for another four or five years.

Remember how I mentioned yesterday that I was going to be baking some buns to go with dinner? I have a great recipe for dinner rolls that I love. But please keep in mind that my baking skills are less than stellar. On a whim I decided to substitute whole wheat flour for the all-purpose that the recipe called for. Um... yeah... can we say bad idea? They turned into hockey pucks. Oh well, lesson learned. Have you had any kitchen flubs recently?

Ginny has turned into a drool monster! It's like someone has turned on a faucet or something. It looks like teething is just around the corner. What's really funny is that my Beloved gets seriously grossed out by it. It's hilarious!

I think I'm going to bake some chocolate chip cookies today. Or maybe a cinnamon loaf. Or maybe both. Hmmmm...

I'm going to be making a pork roast tomorrow for dinner. I'm looking for something different than my usual... do any of you have a suggestion?
