Oh Happy Day!
May 7, 2020
Look what I found in the news early this morning!
Now please pay attention to the first 5 paragraphs of that article that reads like this:
MONTREAL
— Quebec moved to gradually ease some restrictions Tuesday on seniors
living in private residences who've been asked to remain largely
hunkered down since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Healthy
residents who live in homes without confirmed COVID-19 cases and are
physically able will be allowed to take walks now without supervision,
see family while maintaining a distance, and go to essential services
beginning May 11.
There
are about 1,800 such private residences, with 130,000 people living in
them. Rules barring visits and restricting movement were enacted March
23.
"We
know the situation is very difficult, autonomous people have been
isolated for two months now," Premier Francois Legault said Tuesday.
"We've imposed this for public health reasons, (but) it's time to let
them return to a more normal life."
Dr.
Horacio Arruda, Quebec's director of public health, said the easing of
rules will apply to all people in the province over 70 who are otherwise
healthy.
I just had to copy & paste that so I can have a record of it, in case the article at Yahoo`s news site goes missing!
But did you see what I saw in the 2nd and last paragraph! Where it says that over 70 year old people can now see family members while maintaining a distance and that this applies to all those over 70 and not just in nursing homes! Just in time for Mother`s Day for us mothers who`d like to see their kids. Whoo Hoo!
So to celebrate I decided to make a cake using this recipe:
But instead of the crumble topping I`m going to be making a blueberry sauce to pour over the top and this is my recipe for that:
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup of sugar
maybe about 1/4 cup of water
Combine all in a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until desired thickness reached. If you wish you can add in a teaspoon of cornstarch or flour as thickener (before cooking the sauce).
Great on this cake, or waffles or French toast, ice cream or anything you`d like to have a blueberry sauce for.
For supper we had a delicious take on a Japanese meal, Katsu Pork Cutlets - recipe from here:
Katsu Pork Cutlet Though our chops were thicker than the recommended 1/8th inch thickeness and I didn't bother pounding them down, they turned out quite good. Super tender and delicious and that cabbage salad dish that goes with it, ummmm yummy. Loved it. We had that with rice on the side. I did modify the coating on the pork chops by adding some grated ginger there too. Maybe about a teaspoon or so - but then it was only to coat 2 chops and not the 4 the recipe was made for.
Celebrate Mother`s Day With a Nice Meal For Her
And now that mom is actually allowed to see her kids again, perhaps you would like to make a nice meal for her. Perhaps you can find a recipe of interest at one of these links:
