In which I discuss the properties of several salts - and provide a recipe for delicious caramels (which you can dip in chocolate & pretend are Fantales).
“So…uh…the biopsy news wasn’t great. The big painful lump is malignant. I go in next week to meet with the surgeon and we find out stuff like “what stage” and “lumpectomy vs mastectomy” and stuff. It’s weird, but as much as I was panicked, I don’t think I really expected it.”
I could re-watch that time and time again. It's absolutely fascinating, to watch the whole process of making the #yarn and #knitting those shawls. And I just love the accent.
This is "only" sixty years ago - nearly in my lifetime. Some things look so familiar from my youth. And some seem to be in a much more distant past.

Great article in The Discourse about a new cookbook by local author, Jules Sherred. https://thediscourse.ca/cowichan-valley/jules-sherred-crip-up-the-kitchen
It's Friday, it's a gorgeous day here in the valley, and the jasmine has started blooming. Think I'll knock off early and sit on the balcony with some ridiculously cold white wine and a good book.
To remove some of the bitterness from kale:
- rip the leaves off the main stem
- cut up the leaves
- roll over them with a rolling pin, or crush with clean hands
- rinse
The brutal treatment creates isothiocyanates some of which are removed through washing. It also breaks down some of the tough fibres - leaving you with milder tasting tender kale.
I’m looking forward to announcing two forthcoming new short stories that very much represent where my interests are these days.
Soon. Stay turned. 😊
