Roses continue to bloom in The Humble Bungalow Garden.
The cheerful pops of colour elevate our days.
Jude the Obscure still putting on a show!
Walked downtown on Thursday
to meet my husband at the lawyer's office and sign our new wills.
I had a few minutes to spare so I popped into Winners.
I bought a couple of gifts and just happened upon this trio of teas.
I have savoured the Wittards Chelsea Afternoon Tea blend and was eager to expand my taste experience...
I bought all three!
I have yet to try this one but it sounds delicious...
Oolong tea, pineapple, strawberry and papaya pieces, marigold flowers.
No7 Mango and Bergamot is SO GOOD!!!!
Green Tea, Mango, petals from cornflowers, sunflowers and roses.
Bergamot flavouring.
This one is a gift for a dear friend.
Lockdown is here to stay for the forseeable future.
The Covid Cases are climbing far too fast.
Hospitals are filling up and our provincial health doctor has had to enact the act
that prohibits us from gathering with others.
Only our immediate household can be together, even outdoors.
We are permitted to walk with one friend.
Masks are mandatory in public places and at worksites.
So I am cooking like crazy as a distraction to save my sanity...
(my husband winks when I say this!)
Thanks darling XO
BTW
Mr. HB seems to be enjoying all the meals.
Christmas decor here is minimal and I am fluffing the house bit by bit...
I will publish a post sharing what I've done soon.
Our neighbours to the south are preparing their Thanksgiving menus and sharing many gorgeous tablescapes.
I made Ina Garten's Herb and Apple Bread Pudding from her book
"Cooking For Jeffrey."
(page 152)
I made it this morning and it is in the fridge waiting for later...
I love a make ahead dish.
Ina mentioned that it pairs well with Turkey.
I am making "Engagement Roast Chicken" similar to Ina's Perfect Roast Chicken.
Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
Will steam some broccoli to serve with dinner.
I had hoped to buy green beans but they were not that fresh...
why do some stores keep them on the shelf when they are past their prime?
My husband has been outside all morning digging fence post holes.
He'll be weary when he finally comes inside...
Hope this meal will be tasty and comforting.
How are you doing during this pandemic?
What are your favourite distractions?
Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow.
Stay Safe
