SWEET POTATO CHICKPEA PATTIES sweet-potato-chickpea-patties I made these alongside a batch of Chickpea Spinach Patties (see above) because I only had enough sweet potatoes left to make a single batch of these, but my cans of chickpeas are big enough for double batches of these recipes. So I...

CHICKPEA SPINACH PATTIES chickpea-spinach-patties I made these alongside a batch of Sweet Potato Chickpea Patties (see below) because I only had enough sweet potatoes left to make a single batch of those, but my cans of chickpeas are big enough for double batches of these recipes. So I split...

SWEET POTATO FLATBREAD sweet-potato-flatbread I made these with whole wheat flour and baked sweet potatoes. I have made a similar sweet potato flatbread in the past, using steamed sweet potatoes. And wow, does the baking method ever make a difference! Baking the sweet potatoes for an hour...

CHOCOLATE SWEET POTATO MUFFINS chocolate-sweet-potato-muffins I used whole wheat flour in place of the oat flour, and I omitted the chocolate chips. I line my muffin tins with silicone baking cups. So there is no need to oil them. I was a bit leery of how this recipe would turn out because...

SHELBY'S HIKING ADVENTURES, APRIL 14: This was another lovely day for a hike. We did our usual route, with an extra lap of the woodlot, plus the walk to the west end of the storm water pond. The hoodie was still there, with one goose this day. Saw a pair of mallards too, not on the pond, but...

I'm glad you like, @NancyTree I like to see everyone else's birds too. And other wildlife. And landscapes. It is a wild and wonderful planet we all live on!

CREAMY SWEET POTATO PASTA creamy-sweet-potato-pasta This recipe certainly looks like it's meant to be a vegan knock-off of macaroni & cheese. And as we've already established: I don't do vegan-things-that-pretend-to-be-cheese-that-definitely-are-NOT-cheese. Also: I don't generally eat...

SHELBY'S HIKING ADVENTURES, APRIL 8-14 - PART 2 (because I had too many pics for one post): American Robin: Here she is again, gathering materials to build a nest (in this case some very wet grass from a very soupy lawn): This day (April 10) we hiked a total of 7km -- but it took us two...

SHELBY'S HIKING ADVENTURES, APRIL 8-14: Monday, April 8: This was the day of the eclipse. So we saw lots of people out. Shelby's Miniature Aussiedoodle friend Lily was out in her backyard (which backs onto the FitPark trail) with her human and some guests, all with telescopes. This was also...

CHOCOLATE SWEET POTATO BROWNIES sweet-potato-brownies I used my Rainforest Butter (a blend of cashews, brazil nuts, and coconut) in place of the straight cashew butter, simply because of the exorbitant price of the pure cashew butter here. I skipped the chocolate chips because I figured this...

April 8-14: a weekly roundup post. Because I fell behind again. This was a strange week. We had 5 days of nice weather and 2 days of cold, windy, rain-all-day with a bit of thunder weather. Shelby and I made good use of the nice weather days to get outside and spend some time in nature...

MATCH MADE IN A MARSH Here's our mystery bird alongside her mate. (Well, a potential mate. There are a large number of Red-winged Blackbirds in this small area.) Absolute size can be very difficult to judge in the field. But relative size and shape (e.g.: size and shape of bill relative...

A view from inside the woodlot:

The lookout speedbump: View of our birding "patch" from on top of the lookout speedbump:

Join Shelby for a leisurely stroll through the MacIntosh Woodlot on a sunny Saturday afternoon in April, 2024. In part II, hear a male Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) singing to his mate, and watch an Eastern Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) scamper up a tree.

Nope. It's not just you. Lots of people cannot hook their foot in Eagle Pose. The ability to hook the foot like that is dependent upon hip, knee, and ankle mobility, not to mention the size of one's thighs. It does not matter if you cannot hook your foot. You will still get benefit from...

Happy Birthday @Nevetharine ! 31

That is a good guess, @Desa . Especially since I did not give you much to go on regarding this bird's size. It is sparrow coloured and patterned, for sure. If you saw this bird next to a sparrow, however, you would see that it is substantially larger. It is larger even than our largest...

Quiz time! Does anybody know what this bird is?: These views are partially obstructed by vegetation, true. But the location is actually a good clue. Another clue: I've posted at least one photograph of her boyfriend recently.
