Naw, I'm not a chef, but sometimes I feel like one, especially when I have a lot of food to take care of of or cooking to do.
If you read my previous posts you know I picked a ton of dandelions to make dandelion jelly and hoped for dandelion wine too. Well I managed to pick enough dandelions to make the jelly but not the wine, but I did happen to find a recipe for dandelion syrup and made that instead as I had the exact amount of dandelions required for the syrup. The recipe for dandelion jelly that I have, makes a jelly that reminds me of apricot tasting jelly. Which is good as I love apricots but haven't had any since I was a kid.
Now all we seem to be able to buy in grocery stores are peaches and nectarines. Apricots are mostly sold in the bulk dried section now. Yuck. Nectarines are so f'n bitter I don't know why anyone would want those awful things. If we want something that tastes like that there's still plums but they're much smaller and so don't last nearly as long as a bitter nectarine does. Bring back FRESH Apricots to the grocery aisles would you Canadian Grocers!?! I mean if we can manage to get papayas, guava, mangoes, persimmons, dragonfruit, cactus pears, and all sorts of other exotic fruits here while they're still fresh, we ought to be able to do that with apricots too, considering they were able to accomplish that feat back in the 1960s, so I don't see why it's suddenly so hard to do now.
The dandelion syrup, tastes like, well, syrup. Looks like syrup too. So now between our supply of Maple syrup and that we have syrup to last the year, I think. As we don't use syrup often (considering my husband is diabetic).
I gave one of our neighbours a jar of both - so less sugar for us to consume. She was wondering about the wine, because I gave her some the last time I made it. I think the dandelions have pretty well had it for this year, by the looks of things outside. Otherwise I would make some more dandelion wine if I could find enough dandelions to make it, now that the jelly and syrup is made.
The other neighbour that we usually exchange goods and favours with isn't home, so they didn't get either of them. If there's still some left when they get back home from wherever they went, then I'll offer them some.
Euuuu and the badddddd vibrations.... Wow... I am sure several readers who have lived on roadways or streets that were repaved, will identify with the vibrations caused by the road rollers - what used to be called steam rollers. OMG since they start at the crack of dawn almost I was literally shaken awake by them a few days in a row already. And they can't make up their mind about when it'll be ready to be paved. They thought it was going to be today or tomorrow, but now they're not sure because the municipality has to take a look at it, as they said there's instability in it and they don't know why. That's for sure we tried to get up the hill yesterday, but we couldn't and the flag man had to go smooth over one of trenches in one of the driveways so we could turn around to come back down the hill and try to get out of here another way - we did, but we might not have been able to as they are working on that road too. Well this is Quebec where summer is known as road work/construction hell. Literally every road in our area is being worked on and there are detours here there and everywhere and most of them are closed to general traffic and only open to local traffic. And they don't have the foresight to post signs saying you can't get all the way through and can only get to a certain point before the road is closed altogether. So you drive 5 miles just to get stopped by a flagman telling you, you have to turn around and go back where you came from and take a long, long way around to get to where you almost got to before they turned you around. Grrrrrrrrrr..... And gas is sooooooooooooo cheap, we can afford to waste it like that because we're all soooooooooooooooooo rich....
Oh and the medical system in QC IS SUPER ATROCIOUS! THE CAQ OUGHT TO BE SHOT! ESPECIALLY THE HEALTH MINISTERS!
My gawd, I used to bemoan the witch doctors we had in our area. Ones that were too stupid to figure out what to do about my dislocated knee that I was forced to hobble around on for four years before I got a 10 minute session with a physio therapist (but only after my husband offered to rearrange the quack's knees for him, first), who gave me some exercises to be able to get my knee back into joint and straighten my leg out and to be able to walk again. It was super bad then, but at least we had walk in clinics where we could go when all you needed was a simple tetanus shot for instance, or when you had kids who had super bad soar throats and needed antibiotics in order to prevent strep throat and medical requirements similar to that. Now for the entire south western part of the province from where the western dividing line on the Montreal island is all the way out to past here, there are FOUR WALK IN CLINICS and TWO OF THEM ARE NOT REALLY WALK-IN CLINICS BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT. So....
Otherwise you get to sit in hospital emergency rooms for 14 -36 hours waiting to see a doctor for whatever ails you unless you might have 5 minutes left to live then they'll deign to see you before then. Otherwise sit there, shut up with your f'n mask on for that amount of time and don't dare "bug them" about anything or they'll keep moving you to the back of the already miserably long wait list to see a doctor. Well when you cut yourself on metal you NEED A TETANUS SHOT WITHIN 72 HOURS OF GETTING THE CUT. It's no good going to your family doctor or even a walk-in clinic because they don't do tetanus shots anymore. At one time ALL WALK IN CLINICS did tetanus shots, now apparently you can only get them done in hospitals (with the insane wait times and being potentially exposed to everything from COVID to Monkeypox and everything inbetween) or CLSCs where again you have to make an appointment. With the clock ticking on those hours and the CLSCs not answering their phones after 4pm (and you don't know that and are calling at 4:45pm even though they're open until 9pm) and STILL NEEDING AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM FOR THE SHOT, it's like pretty near impossible to get the tetanus shot within the time you need to get it. So my husband said F it, there's no way he's going to sit in a hospital emergency room for 14-36 hours just for an injection. So he'll take his chances. Tomorrow will be the 72 hour period in question.
So if he starts grimacing at me in strange ways, I'll know why... Then I'll be able to sue the idiots in charge that dismantled our already lousy medical system to make it even lousier. I'm sure I'll be able to find a lot of others who'd want to join that class action suit. Probably 80% of the population wouldn't mind joining that one. That one would be naming Gestapo Bozo Legault as the main tyrant in charge. Hopefully, it doesn't come to that though, not because I wouldn't love to sue his ass off and even have him thrown behind bars, but because I don't want my husband to wind up with Tetanus on account of all the medicare cutbacks stingy sheitehead Legault did.
The assholes in power that did that, are the CAQ. Now they are messing things up further with phone numbers you're supposed to call instead of going to see a doctor. Like I demonstrated above, how the f are kids with strep throat supposed to be diagnosed and treated or someone given a tetanus shot over the phone? Or put someone's dislocated knee back into joint or listen to someone's heart or lungs over the phone?
So essentially the CAQ are stripping our medical services down to close to non-existant. WHY? Where's that money the Feds give them towards medicare going to if not to medicare????? Swiss bank accounts belonging to the head honchos of the CAQ maybe????? Kind of like the money that Parizeau skimmed off the top of things and buried 9 BILLION dollars worth in a Swiss account? Allegedly for starting the nation of QC if they won the referendum. They didn't win it though, so what happened to that money after that? No one ever bothered to try to find out, apparently. So is Gestapo Legault taking lessons off of Parizeau and skimming all the monies given for medicare to the province and getting put into his private Swiss account now? Is that why our medical services have declined so steeply under his leadership? Just wondering..... Because I know without a doubt that we DID HAVE WALK-IN CLINICS STILL IN September 2018 as that's the last time I remember being at one. Since then they disappeared and Gestapo Legault formed gov't in Quebec as per this statement from Wikipedia: On 1 October 2018, the CAQ won a majority of seats in the National Assembly of Quebec, allowing it to form a government for the first time.
So 2 weeks after my last walk-in clinic visit, they gained power and since then they've been systematically closing ALL MEDICAL SERVICES DOWN. And they want another term in office?????? I'm sorry Gestapo Bozo Legault you have ALREADY DONE MORE THAN ENOUGH DAMAGE TO THIS PROVINCE IN SO MANY WAYS IT WOULD TAKE ANOTHER ENTIRE BLOG TO ITEMIZE THEM ALL AND CENTURY TO GET BACK TO WHERE WE WERE BEFORE YOU & YOUR WRECKING CREW CAME ALONG!!!!!
And your office had the nerve to call me to ask me to help campaign for you in the next election. I'd rather die than help you do anything. Hopefully, that'll wake some Quebec voters up so they can see what Legault is all about incase they have a selective memory that only remembers a few things here and there.
And just try to find a hospital phone number in a hurry either in a phone book or online.... I dare you.... You have to know the long BS societe de bulsheite regie, de je ne sais pas quoi ou qui a la droite d'allez pour quelle probleme de Quebec name in order to find it. My gawd, they have renamed every hospital to something else and it's not a hospital anymore it's a societe or a regie je ne sais pas quoi. If you don't know that name good luck at finding the hospital's phone number. It took me over 2 hours to find a hospital number near here one day. By the time I found it, it was irrelevant, because I was trying to call them to tell them we'd be late for our appointment but I only found it 2 hours after the deadline of calling them, as I wanted to tell them we'd be there but maybe an hour or two late because of a car problem. Except I couldn't find the damned phone number for that long. Sooooooooo.....
Now on to some more headlines about Covid, starting from where I left off in my backlog of bookmarked headlines.....
A National Vaccine Pass Has Quietly Rolled Out – And Red States Are Getting On Board Wondering how many Americans knew about this then, or even now?
COVID-19 hospitalizations in N.L. rise to 20 On February 25th.
Mounties used emergency powers as a 'big deterrent,' says head of RCMP How could they use powers that weren't even invoked? Ergo not made law? Think about that for a moment folks. The Emergency Powers were NOT invoked (at least not when they were using them), ergo THE MOUNTIES WERE OPERATING ILLEGALLY *****OUTSIDE THE LAW******. And here they are bragging about using non-existant powers - powers that THEY USED ILLEGALLY. Think about that for a moment longer and try to digest it while you're at it. If you can't, then you know what must be done. We MUST DEMAND THE QUEEN, GOVERNOR GENERAL & THE ARMY STEPS IN TO REMOVE THEM & THE TYRANTS IN OFFICE BEFORE MORE BS LIKE THIS OCCURS!
Nearly $2M in COVID-19 tickets issued in B.C., but less than $400K paid Even that $400 thousand was $400 thousand too much paid. ZERO CENTS SHOULD'VE BEEN PAID considering people were being fined for the gov't breaching their fundamental rights and freedoms. The gov't breaches them by telling them oh you can't walk too close to that person or gather with more than your own shadow and when you do they fined you for it. If anyone needed fines it the gov't for breaching fundamental rights by trying to forbid you to walk with or near anyone else or gather with others beside yourself.
Saskatchewan to renew emergency order same day province lifts all COVID-19 measures If that isn't crooked then I don't know what is.
N.S. renoviction ban likely ending with COVID-19 restrictions next month Out of all the provinces I've lived in I think NS has the worst tenants rights (if any), in all of Canada.
'Wall of sweet words' spreads cheer to Montreal seniors dealing with COVID-19 isolation Oh whoopdie doo.... I can assure you that most seniors want more than "sweet words". Don't do anything that might actually cost a few dollars. Gawd no.... We wouldn't want you to do that. I mean would it hurt you to band together your coins and do a little shopping at a local dollar store for things like candy bars, chips, maybe batteries, or decks of cards, or crossword puzzle books or little craft kits they could do to kill some time? If you want to spread some cheer to isolated seniors that would be the way to do it. Give them something to do to kill the time, or sweet sweets instead of words, even batteries for their electronic gizmos like radios etc... Stop doing nothing and then trying to make it look like you're so f'n wonderful for doing nothing of any effect, gawd you look like a bunch of politicians to me. I don't care if it's school kids or not. School kids should be made to understand the realities of the situation and that saying something sweet isn't going to go very far in helping seniors in isolation deal with it. Perhaps something to keep them occupied and their minds off their loneliness would work a helluva lot better and it's not that expensive to pull off especially at the local dollar store. Just sayin......
Perhaps a contribution of $1.50 per kid would be all it would take to spread cheer to 40-50 seniors in a home or on a ward. So stop pretending that that's such a great thing, when it's not. It's bullsheite - you're teaching kids young to be cheap ashed hypocrites that pretend to be doing something when in actual fact all it is is more cheap talk and hot air, like we get out of our politicians. I guess that's what it's all about teaching them how to grow up to be politicians - lots of talk and no action and definitely no money, unless it's towards themselves or their pet projects. That's what it looks like to me.
If you want to teach the kids activism to improve people's lives teach them the right way and that isn't just plastering a wall with platitudes and "sweet words". Do something to actually MAKE THEIR LIVES BETTER besides blow out a lot of hot air (aren't you the demographics that are worried about hot air and global warming? if you are, why are you blowing so much of it out your pie holes anyhow?). Put your energies and money where your hypocritical little mouths are and DO SOMETHING OR GIVE SOMETHING TO HELP THEM, don't just blab at them. How the F does that help anyhow?

Court extends rare order to freeze up to $20M in crypto, cash donations to 'Freedom Convoy' Obviously these judges in those courts are totally IGNORING OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS and should be thrown out of office and off the bench entirely ALL OF THEM.

Quebec mom loses appeal to prevent kids, aged six and eight, from getting COVID-19 vaccine This is CLEARLY GOVERNMENT & JUDICIAL OVER REACH. The judge in this case needs to not only be thrown off the bench and out of court but disbarred altogether as that's clearly abuse of power if I ever saw it.
First Possible Case of Deer-to-Human COVID Transmission Identified Well this is definitely different.
Coronavirus: Hongkongers continue to panic buy at supermarkets, pharmacies as potential lockdown looms They knew what was coming and they were smart to "panic buy".
CDC estimates 140 million US Covid-19 infections This is a new thing, instead of going with the already high enough numbers, all countries and jurisdictions feel that those aren't high enough now they seem to be doubling and in some cases 10x'ing them. Talk about inflating the numbers. Trying to make it look worse than it was apparently as what it actually was, doesn't look bad enough to them, I guess.

Explosive Scenes as New Zealand Police Move to End Weekslong Occupation Because PM Ahem, oh sorry meant PM A Hernia, has to follow her dreamboat loverboy Sheite for brains in Ottawa's every move. He farts, she's got to fart twice as long and as smelly, he pees, she's got to see if she can make her stream go even further than his, he acts like a dickhead, she has to be an even bigger dickhead. Get the picture of what's going on now?
Two years into the pandemic, is the end in sight? If the architects of this plandemic (which includes Pfizer) has anything to do with it, then no it's not over and never will be over, so long as they can keep releasing new mutations of the virus in order to sell more doses of their useless vaccines and the powermongering power tripping assholes at the helms of all the countries that went autocratic control, have anything to do with it, they won't let it be over either as they don't want to let go of all that power that they wielded while the plandemic was in full swing.
The 'grey zone' hindering efforts to count Canada's COVID-19 deaths How? There was a document that I provided a link to, early on in the plandemic, put out by the CDC telling hospitals how to count covid deaths and essentially it boiled down to this.... If the person died in a motorcycle accident for instance, but KNEW a person with covid - whether they were ever in contact with each other was irrelevant - just as long as they knew the person and it could be proved they knew each other, that was a covid related death. If they died of cancer but contracted COVID while in the hospital (even if they recovered from it before they died) it was a covid related death. If a family member had covid and died and a related person died from a broken heart or suicide, that was a covid related death. In other words anyone who died of anything - it was determined to be a covid related death. That's probably how they still count them now.
As for me, I'm falling asleep here at the keyboard now, so I guess it's time to go pack it in for now. Until next time take care and stay well.
In
the meantime don't forget to BOYCOTT Metro, Metro Plus and Metro Richelieu
stores. If you have a claim that you wish to make against them for
injury or loss sustained because of their negligence you're more than
welcome to join the class action lawsuit I wish to launch against them.
