隆Hola amigos! Feliz s脿bado 馃グ
Hi friends! Happy Saturday...
(I've been learning the Spanish language these last 2.5 months.)
Welcome to my day 馃巼
It's one of those epic fall days, autumn is at its pinnacle. There are low, intermittent dark clouds but the sun bursts through and lights up patches of colour shifting trees on the North Mountain...
I boiled my Thanksgiving turkey carcass yesterday and am now enjoying a hearty bowl of soup after getting home from my deliveries.
12 hours in my biggest pot with halved onions and garlic...
Strain the broth, pick the meat from the carcass and 30 minutes before serving add fresh carrots and green beans.
I wound up with enough broth for 5 suppers, they are in the freezer now.
My baking deliveries today consisted of whole wheat sourdough bread, glazed apple pound cakes and Nova Scotia brown bread.
The pound cakes are made with local apples as Nova Scotia is the King of apple growers in Canada.
As I mentioned in the beginning of my post, I've been teaching myself Spanish. My children are learning a bit vicariously through me too. 隆Es muy divertido! (It's really fun!)
I'm learning it because I plan on moving to South America in 5 years 馃槏 My boys will be Men and I will be ready to live my life for me, though I really hope they want to come along!
My resources have been Duolingo, which I practice on every morning when I first wake up (that is when my brain works the best), YouTube courses, and a dictionary. I also have a wonderful book: 501 Spanish verbs.
And speaking of books...I just cracked open a cold one! Haha! I've been wanting to read this for sooooooo long!!
Have you read any of Ayn Rand's works?
She was the main inspiration of my favourite author Terry Goodkind.
I'm so stoked to dig in today 馃槃
I hope you have a very beautiful day too!
