The first baby-related purchase

Okay, so maybe we would have bought this Canon EOS Rebel T1i DSLR camera anyway, but the baby is a good excuse.  After all, we need time to practice before the baby arrives :)

Recipe: Ron's Easy Potato Salad

I'm always looking for a great go-to potato salad - cooking the potatoes in chicken broth gives great flavour!

Ron's Easy Potato Salad
Makes about 6 cups (1.5 L)

-- One 900-mL carton low-sodium chicken broth
-- 1 1/2 pounds (680 g) mixed small red and fingerling potatoes
-- 2 tablespoons (25 mL) vinegar
-- 4 radishes, sliced
-- 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
-- 3 green onions, chopped
-- 4 sprigs fresh tarragon, leaves only, chopped
-- 4 leaves fresh sage, chopped
-- 1 stalk celery, chopped
-- 1/2 cup (125 mL) mayonnaise
-- 1 heaping teaspoon (7 mL) Dijon mustard
-- Salt, pepper, to taste

1. In a saucepan, bring chicken broth to boil, add cleaned potatoes and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer potatoes using a slotted spoon to a mixing bowl; splash with vinegar and toss to coat. Cool potatoes completely before refrigerating, covered, until needed.

2. To make the salad, cut cooked potatoes into convenient bite-size pieces, about 1/2- to 3/4-inch (2-cm) dice. Add all remaining ingredients and toss well to mix and coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least two hours before serving to blend flavours.

Ready... grow!

Last year we made the mistake of planting our seeds outside too early
and they got all eaten up by the squirrels and birds and rabbits and
duck (one; he's a mallard) of the neighbourhood.

This year, we're starting our seeds inside in the hopes that when
they're nicely sprouted the wildlife will be less interested.

So, we planted our seeds in some 'Jiffy Greenhouses' from Home Depot
last weekend and made a mini-greenhouse of our dining room. It's the
only sunlit spot in the house that we can keep the cat out of.

We'll see how this grows...

The Facebook litmus test

Too many 'friends' on Facebook? Here's a simple way to weed them out:
  1. Enable birthday notifications (under Account > Account Settings > Notifications > Has a birthday coming up (weekly email) ).
  2. Each week, see if you care enough to wish your 'friend' a Happy Birthday.
