@mcctrish oh my gosh! This was such a nice surprise to get on today if all days. Thank you so very, very much. I love this. #FoodAndLit #Canada
#FoodandLit #Canada Today is Butternut Squash. A hybrid from a bottleneck squash and pumpkin by an American. Smooth like butter and has a nutty flavor. I made Butternut Squash soup today. All you need is a 4 lb Butternut (from my garden) a large onion, 3 garlicky cloves.Bouillon that has ginger in it. Cook until Squash is soft.Let cool a bit and put it in a blender to make it smooth. Add cream and fresh parsley to serve. @Catsandbooks @Texreader
#ISpyBingoAugustOctober Working on my bingos and got acouple with this book. #FoodandLit #Canada @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @Catsandbooks @Texreader #LitsyLoveReads
pickEvery Canadian should read this book! An Obibway boy who is taken from his culture to be in a residential school in the early 1960s. It is sad and full of racism. As a Canadian, I feel ashamed as to how this could have been allowed to happen to so many children.As a descendent of The Ojibway people (Great Great Grandmother was Ojibway from Sault st Marie, Ont), I felt for this little boy being taken away from his culture.This book touched my heart
“when the reading of such literature is associated with idleness…a woman‘s thoughts and feelings cannot be other than impure and sensual…novel-reading causes, at the very least, fretting, nightmares and a bad complexion.”
That explains so much! 😂

So today was weird- my daughter and I had the day off but my son had a day of virtual school and painters were here sanding and painting my doors. So I was holed up in my room reading the new Louise Penny and partaking in the #ComfortReadathon when not my cat jumped up on my bed! He had sweet talked the painters into letting him in, ate all my cats‘ food, and then was going to sleep in my bed 😂😂😂
pickFinished this book at breakfast before I went to vote…. I love Carroll‘s artistry and the way she weaves a chilling tale. From the synopsis, I was expecting more of a “Rebecca” vibe, but that‘s not really it. Two thumbs up!
