Stocked up on local produce. Pickings are still slim (the never ending winter!) but enough to feed us for the week. Lots of stored potatoes, apples, onions, carrots and beets still available which helps. Greenhouse tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and lettuce.
Also some Mexican green onions, leeks, avocados and limes.
Can do without lemons, oranges, mandarins, broccoli, … 🤷🏻‍♀️

Friend of the family was driving down to the USA, at the border she was asked “What do you think of our president?” She rolled her eyes, and that was it, they rejected her entry on the spot and sent her back to Canada.

Sure, they REALLY REALLY REALLY want us to visit. Only if our fascist white views align with theirs I guess.

@CStamp you think that they might have figured it out with their dairy. Canadians don’t want the crappy, hormone-laced crap they send up here. But, no, they are whinging about that too. I think it’s time to redouble our efforts to avoid buying anything Made in America whenever we can. Maybe the rest of the world could join us? #BuyCanadian #BuyFromAnywhereElseButUSA #ElbowsUp #GlovesOff

Wanted to share my handmade botanical micro-art trading cards here

Used Alosim on our European trip over the last couple of weeks. A couple of notes:

1. Easy to use, zero issues, just worked. Would highly recommend.
2. Canadian company… gotta love that.
3. Used WAY less data than I ever thought I would, 3.5GB total, and most of that was accidentally trying to sync a Polycam photoshoot while not on wifi. (the 3D model https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/anselm-kiefers-concrete-towers-277b670ba5794a90895277a49d84081b in case you are interested)
4. Total cost was ~ $15 if I remember correctly?

Anselm Kiefer’s concrete towers - 3D model by outofcontrol

The exhibition Museum Voorlinden has two of Anselm Kiefer’s concrete towers in the dunes behind the museum. Polycam could not “see” high enough to capture the complete tower. - Anselm Kiefer’s concrete towers - 3D model by outofcontrol

If you are looking for a new appliance, please consider not buying Whirlpool. Apart from poor ratings as appliance, they are trump loving folk who think tariffs are a good idea. There are lots of non USA brands and even some good Canadian brands.

ANALYSIS | These U.S. companies think Trump's tariffs are great. Here's why | CBC News

The White House is on a push to showcase the success stories of U.S. manufacturers who are benefitting from tariffs, one that saw U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, a member of Trump's cabinet, setting out last week on a two-day tour of factories in Ohio and Michigan.

Source for fresh black pepper?

Source for fresh black pepper? - Lemmy.ca

Sometime ago I bought a Peugeot pepper mill and it came with a small sample of their own black pepper. I was shocked at how much stronger, hot and nice the taste and smell was compared whatever I had in a jar from the grocery store. It reminded me of black pepper I was used to some decades ago back in Europe. I bought a few packets of this Peugeot pepper and it really is great, but it’s also expensive. Given what I know about coffe and irs flavours, I’m guessing most of it comes down to how fresh the pepper is. Do you know of a source that sells fresh black pepper?
