It makes my day to hear that enjoy reading my little posts! :) I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person spending my days this way... Sharon: I'm surprised to hear that they were giving away bitter melon at the foodbank. If I hadn't been warned about their bitterness, I think I would've assumed they weren't ripe or something along those lines. They are popular in Indian curries and a few Vietnamese dishes, so hopefully someone knew what to do with them. Regarding your 'foodbank plugging': I'd love to hear more, if you could email me some more information about it (where it is, specific hours, etc.) I'd be happy to think about volunteering! Thanks again for reading. Mary: Thank you so much, you’re very sweet!

We get most of our food from Moisson Montreal, and quite recently we got bitter melons from them...! No one (except me) knew what they were, or how to cook them. I do wonder if any of the families we gave them to ate them or not. I find they are way too bitter if not prepared properly. While I'm talking about it, here's a shameless plug. If you are interested in that sort of thing, you should definitely come help out. We can always use an extra pair of hands!

I love your blog! Probably because I spend so much time reading, drinking tea, and cooking, and I like reading about someone else doing the same sorts of things :) The last picture makes me happy, too.
