Snowy Christmas Travels

We had a snowy drive back from the Okanagan. Look at the trees on the summit, completely covered! — We had a snowy drive back from the Okanagan. Look at the trees near Nancy Greene, completely covered!

Chicken and Lobster Mushroom Alfredo

A colleague recently brought me some lobster mushrooms (thank you C.J., you rock). My husband was skeptical but he whipped up a batch of chicken and lobster mushroom alfredo with linguine. Even the kids ate it, and they’re picky.

Lobster mushrooms grow wild where we live, and I didn’t know about it until last week! Wow, do I live a sheltered life or what. In future I will be looking for them.

Autumn harvest time in Blueberry

Unfortunately the frost got to our tomatoes before I could harvest the rest of them. We planted a little late this year and didn’t get the best results. Next year my daughters and I will plant the tomatoes and pumpkins at our summer cabin, where they have plenty of sunshine and space to grow.
