I too have the fuzzy neuro and the same book. There is a recipe in there for oatmeal cooked with granola, millet and dehydrated apple. I made a double batch the other day, measured it out in portions and froze them. Handy to have on hand.

Costco Canada sells them for $170.

Checked Abe books Canada. They don't seem to have it.😒 thanks to @Kerry Beal's post I checked the US site. Given the shipping costs, it is marginally cheaper to but the Kindle edition from Amazon.ca.

How convoluted is the cheesecake?

I'm so sorry your Sweetie died. My sincere condolences.

@Smithy. Where did you buy that book? Looks like something I might enjoy.

You enabler, you!

I scour the thrift stores for cookbooks too, but only when I'm out by myself. 😄 Last time out I bought a couple of annual editions of Cooking Light, where they have gathered all the recipes for any one year, and Gordon Ramsey's Healthy Apppetite. I can't remember what I paid for them but it wasn't much. I leaf through them and if I think i might make a recipe I photocopy it. The books get recycled back to the thrift stores.

Last year our local grocery store sold a lot of turkey bones during our Thanksgiving. My husband bought "a lot" of these bones to make stock. I thought I'd never see the end of them. At any rate, they were duly roasted and turned into stock. After straining, the resulting broth was vastly reduced. This was poured into ice cube trays and chilled. The cubes were so solid you could stick something in them and it would stand straight up. Cubes were then frozen. They are wonderful, full of flavour. I'm happy to have them but I'll never make that much again.

I'm guilty of buying them too. I still enjoy flipping through them.

Both Compiments and President's choice are on the list. Off to check my carrots.

A little background to the garden: My SIL and her husband always had a garden. He died this past August and knowing how much they liked to garden we decided the three of us would garden together. She loves going through seed catalogues in the winter and she and I will keep up a running commentary on what we will grow. She will order the seeds. John already prepared the beds for spring planting and we will go out in the spring and throughout the summer to plant, weed and harvest. But, we can't hop out to pick a little something during the day. The drive to her place takes anywhere from 1 1/4 hours to 1 1/2 hours each way so that won't be happening. But the main thing about all this is we wanted to do something to possibly ease her pain at his passing. I love her dearly and we hope this might bring her some comfort.

Did you try making crumpets?
