L. Jenkinson @MarymargII (12422) • Toronto, Ontario 10 Jul 20

Hi folks I guess you can say I've been out of commission for way over a month now as we have moved to a new area. My son found a property he wanted with a cute little older house on it and after much looking bought it! It closed...

March is a Lamb And a Lion This year

L. Jenkinson @MarymargII (12422) • Toronto, Ontario 11 Mar 20

Even though the March weather has turned out as mild as a lamb for many, it is a lion in some areas but then that's always the case. I for one think it's great because it gives us all a longer Spring. Unless of course, it turns...

Saffron is Not so Mellow Yellow

L. Jenkinson @MarymargII (12422) • Toronto, Ontario 29 Nov 19

I was watching a recipe show with Jamie Oliver in which he used Saffron and thought how can he use this spice? It's the most expensive spice ever. Weighing in at at least 5 to 10 U.K. LBs. per gram at the supermarket- that's one...

Too Many Recipes, Too Little Time

L. Jenkinson @MarymargII (12422) • Toronto, Ontario 10 Nov 19

I have a box of recipes that have mostly been tried and true either by my own mom, family, friends or myself. Mostly all of them I've tried and liked or loved but a few I haven't. It's almost like a step back in time that goes...

L. Jenkinson @MarymargII (12422) • Toronto, Ontario 17 Sep 19

Well I've staved off getting the flu shot as I fear all those rumours about it giving you the flu for awhile or not being effective or making you turn green haha! But this year I've had a few viruses but put it down to getting...
