MIssing LM

Posted by Tim Edwards on December 25, 2020, 9:07 am

Greetings to all and Merry Christmas. This is the first time in 15 years that we have not been in LM with our family.

I REALLY MISS IT.

Hoping and praying for next year...

Is only the 3rd but...
50 cm of snow here just the other day
With one leg and 2 dogs it's darn near impossible to get around
Feliz Navidad to all

We are wintering at home for the first time in many years but look forward to coming next year. It is a green Christmas here in PEI the the temperature at plus 12C.

We are Covid-19 safe here in PEI being an Island with access that is easy to control and the political will to limit access to those who self isolate for 14 days - monitored by the Province and supported by the public at large.

Add us to the list of those missing our annual visit. Just saw Dave’s message about the mangrove boat/bird tour and thought how I’d be signing up if I were there. For Christmas, some of my friends and family received various food things from me including Nutty Dukkah, a recipe I got at one of Eileen Zack’s cooking classes. I see pictures of, oh, everything and want to be there. We miss our street and our wonderful neighbours. We are well and are fortunate to be living in a part of the province (BC) with very low numbers but it ain’t over yet. But when it is we sure would love to get back there. Happy New Year, everyone!

Chiming in from La Manz...we miss all of you, too! And you have just reminded me, Linda, of Dukkah, and how I planned to make it for gifts. Melody gave me some a couple of years ago. It was amazing how that little mixture of nuts, seeds, and spices would transform the flavour of any bland tasting soup or salad.

Would you send me the recipe? Or post it here?

If your recipe has hazelnuts, I have good news. La Semilla got some in, and they are this year’s crop, grown in Mexico. Called avellanas here in Mexico.

Thank you, Linda! I have everything except the black sesame seeds. Coming right up - gifts for New Years.

By the way, the coriander seeds were harvested from the school garden. (Seeds of cilantro plants); way more than they will need for planting at the garden. Let me know if anyone wants them, either to plant or use for Dukkah, sauerkraut, or any kind of curry. We had a seed saving project, and I’ve been storing them in my fridge.

Sadly, add us to the list. We have been there every Christmas since my middle son, Max, was just 2 months old. He just turned 19! We wish everyone a healthy and safe 2021 and will look forward to next Christmas when we are all back together again.
