Ginger Carrots

Mal's pretty happy with his crop of carrots this year. They are huge (10 inches), crisp and sweet. One carrot is a meal for both of us.

Ginger Carrots

I found a recipe for a sauce that I really like over carrots or cauliflower:
2 Tbsp. sugar

2 tsp. cornstarch

1/2 tsp. ginger

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup orange juice (I use 2 tbsp. orange juice concentrate)
1/4 cup butter

Mix all ingredients of the sauce except butter. Cook until thickened. Add butter, stir until melted, pour over carrots. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Rental Wanted

Just saw a hilarious add in the local Keremeos paper:

"Wanted to rent by Senior lady. Small house or cabin, prefer acreage, must have no neighbors or neighbors with references. No next door dogs or roosters. Prefer landlord who lives in Saudi Arabia and likes pets. Must be reasonably priced."

How's that for the perfect renter? I wonder how many responses she'll get?!

Thanksgiving visit

We were at Jon and Magan's overnight. Jack calls us "gammi and pa"! This sidewalk welcome sign greeted us.

Jack enjoyed the birthday book Auntie Jess sent.

Jon discovered a window in the theatre room that had been covered up. He decided to open it up.

It was a nice large window. This is only half opened.

Jack was into picture-taking, so he took a picture of Mom. Pretty good, eh?

Fall Travels

Fall travelling has been beautiful. A double rainbow was a bonus.

The last 2 weekends we've rented a Jeep Liberty. This one was a 2009. They look cool, but aren't as comfortable as a car.

Kaleb's First Birthday!

Yeah for the cutie who's one!

He's not too sure about the fire...

but the icing is great!

Zinnia Opening

I planted zinnias for the first time this year, and I enjoyed them so much I'll definately plant them again. I don't know why I never planted them before - perhaps I didn't like the name. I think it sounded like an old lady flower to me- but then, maybe I qualify to plant them now!

I found the progression of them opening fascintating and took some pictures:
