I can not believe how fast this summer seemed to pass us by, it is just amazing and crazy, where the hell does time go and why does it seem to go by so much faster in the summer than it does it the winter.
We did not have the greatest summer, a lot of rain and a bit of humidity, and a lot of mixed weather on many days, the garden this year did very well and everything grew amazing, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes and almost everything in an abundance which was just unbelievable in every way. Made several batches of pickles, spicy pickled beans and sweet pickles already.
I have also started to make our own perogies and made approximately 150 the other day, half potato, cheddar and onion and the other half jerk chicken. Last night we had Mara, Jeff and the kids over for Barbeque and Wayne dropped by as well. Matt made his ribs and rotisserie chicken. It was amazing and great and we had food a plenty, including beans from the garden, cucumber and tomato salad from the garden.
Great way to spend the last weekend of the summer.
Saturday night Matt and I went out for his birthday, we went to Freds Not Here for dinner and I have to say it is the first restaurant I have eaten at in Toronto over the last 10 years where I could not say a bad word but was so impressed by everything and so happy with the food, prices, drinks, and especially the service. Wow if you are ever in Toronto or you live here, go and try eat, 10000 better than the Keg by far.
Matt and I then went out for drinks and had the greatest night for his birthday, we went to Boutique on Church street and just had a great time. All and all a good weekend.
Health for me has not been the greatest this summer and been a hard time some days for me, but I am a fighter and get through it day by day, Matt has been great and helped me a lot and I am so thankful for that and for him. I have been back and forth to doctors, hospitals and specialists, this week I have two more appointments and then I am hopefully done for a while.
Hate this whole thing and I will explain everything one day soon when I am good with it all. Anyhow, I hope you all had a great long weekend and a lovely week, yay, the kids are back in school starting tomorrow, happy days.
