Just reading an article about white sharks and they have had some problems tagging them in the Atlantic although successful in other waters. However, recently they have been able to tag more and have become very surprised to find sharks coming up into Canadian waters. There is an interesting video of the tagging of one 14 footer which they have named Lydia and which they know to be in Placentia Bay. Apparently not that much is really known about white sharks as yet. The map shows Lydia’s travels since she was tagged.
Today we have our Travel League and will be bowling in New Hamburg which is a fair distance away. We meet for lunch and I always used to have a Monte Christo sandwich, however, this year I won’t, they are loaded with calories I have discovered. Even a BLT is bad enough. I have to save room for my doughnut. Only reason I go, as I keep telling everyone, is for the doughnut.
Having used the slow cooker or crock pot the other day I was thinking I don’t use it nearly enough. It really does make life so much easier. Then I received an email from Kraft with slow cooker recipes some of which I certainly intend to try. Here is one which is high on my list. Obviously if you can’t get some of the Kraft ingredients, there are substitutes.
