@notsmokinjo, The Snowbirds Demonstration Team (431 Squadron) is a Canadian icon comprised of serving members of the Canadian Forces. According to our newspaper they only choose one place a year in California to perform and they picked us.

Also commonly known as elderly folks who flock from Northeastern Canada to Florida for the winter months each year.

Lmao @reciprocity, our paper hyped them up like they were comparable to the Blue Angels or air force Thunderbirds.

Not big on air shows... We are about 20mins up the road ( that's close in AUs) from Avalon and every couple of years they host an airshow... So two weeks of house shaking planes flying overhead and 3 days of the worst traffic jams, the Friday night is like a triple the time to get home... They red Canadian planes can stay in Cali.

Our airships only last a weekend. They fly in Thursday and Friday and the show is Saturday and Sunday. 

Ours fly in over a two week period and but the show is fri-sun.

Thanks to the piggin rats...

Trying to get the greenfly off my chilli plants..???

I NAILED rainbow cake!! 

 

Wow very impressive.  It looks so good.  Wish I could have a taste.

That's awesome Jane, I just watched the finale of Kids Baking Championship last night and their final challenge was a rainbow cake

@Linda Thomas I bought cheap icing that was toooo sweet, but the cakes were perfect fluff? 

 

Man, @jillar! I was all stoked about this cake and you have to come tell me it's kids stuff? 

As soon as she saw it, she said "Its just like my rainbow heart!!" (bloodflow ultrasounds) 

thinking about nourishment.  where is my beautiful wife ?  my handsome chef ?  hellooooo !  helloooooooooooooo....

 

savory ricotta tart ? 

w/basil, caramelized onions and sun dried tomatoes ?

or 

scrambled eggs in a flour tortilla w/dollop of ricotta

and

build the tart tomorrow.

 

I'll put sliced onions in the crock pot and they will be caramelized by morning.

That is if I don't wake up with the awesome smell in the middle of the night and eat them. 

All of them.

@c9jane29, don't worry, yours is wayyy better looking than those kid's cakes were lol ?

Eating the ricotta tart and feeling really charged about the new influx of quitters and our current newbies.

 

It makes me really happy to see people quitting smoking.  It is such an exciting, life changing event.

Your Mom sounds very similar to mine, in terms of the things she worries about   I just got home from my Mother's place today. She will be turning 98 next month and still lives on her own in a 3 story house. She has been OK up to this point but is starting to have some issues here and there. It's amazing that some of our parents are doing pretty well at pretty advanced ages  

 

My mother still lives like it's the Great Depression. She grew up then and some of the things she does now are pretty telling about those times. She will wrap up all left overs from a meal - no matter how few. Nothing gets thrown out - NOTHING! Her compose bin is still brand new after 15 years - never seen a scrap of food - lol!

 

Glad you had a good time celebrating with your Mom!
