I must refer you to some interesting videos on My Life in Retirement by Denise. They are more horrifying news about Donald Trump. I must say his tendency to ride rough shod over the common man and to destroy environments; basically to do what the hell he likes, frightens me to death. Not only that the way he tells lies about people and treats them like dirt. This is the guy you want for your President??? No, I know, not all of you.
Got the CD of my hip to take to the orthopaedic surgeon on Thursday. I have a questionnaire too - one of the questions is what is the level of pain. Difficult to answer, once it was very high, today not so bad. Tomorrow who knows?
As far as I know, Becel is only sold in Canada. However, a good butter tasting margarine or even butter itself I guess. I love smoked salmon. I should have everything to make this other than lime peel.

Thanks for the nod. That';s a tasty looking appetizer. I think I would just use a good European butter like Plugra.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Denise. Never heard of Plugra. Not sure if we can get anything here but Canadian butter. Not that I have ever really looked. Maybe in our really good deli store.
DeleteI would eat that.
ReplyDeleteDespite the outcome of the voting in my state yesterday, I'm proud to say I did not contribute to the coming apocalypse...
Come visit and I'll make it for you Alex. I hope you voted though, a lack of vote is a vote for him.
DeleteDon't get me started on my absolute hatred of Trump. I am shocked at how many friends are supporting him. That says a lot about their true character.
ReplyDeleteDo go see the videos on Denise's blog. Horrifying. I don't know anyone who supports Trump.
DeleteHi Jo - I won't even discuss it ... but this smoked salmon dish is just the sort of thing I'd do - and I believe I even have some wasabi - somewhere ... might give it a go over Easter ...
ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
I don't normally talk politics Hilary but this is scary especially if you saw as much on TV as we do here.
DeleteI am thinking of this for Easter too.
Trump is truly terrifying. It's as if parts of the US population have lost their ability to think and the rest of the US - and the rest of the world for that matter - may end up suffering from the result.
ReplyDeleteToo true Helen. It is staggering how he is convincing people he is the man to vote for.
DeleteI'm doing a lot of praying and he's not my candidate of choice. Unfortunately the one I think would make a great president is a long shot, but that's why I pray.
ReplyDeleteRate your pain on a scale of one to ten; 10 being the worst. Worst days could be 8/10; good days 1/10, etc. Might help quantify it better in describing it.
betty
So long as people don't just give up on voting which is easy to do in situations like this. No vote is a vote for him Betty.
DeleteI have the idea, just don't know where I fit in these days.
Mmmm, that look delicious. Trump is scary. I just don't understand who the people are that are voting for him. It's kind of unbelievable but I think it shows how people are so sick of career politicians. It's like they're flipping the bird at Washington by voting for a joke. But it's not funny.
ReplyDeleteHe sure is Susan. I just hope the joke doesn't become the president.
DeleteI can never get over the smell of salmon. Chad loves it. Me, not so much.
ReplyDeleteEven smoked salmon Liz? That is a very delicate version of the fish.
DeleteI have watched every video Denise has placed on her blog and Drumpf is a true idiot and bully. It is horrible how some people think he is good. It boggles the mind. This weather has been horrible on my pain. Today has been bad. Don't downplay the pain otherwise Dr's don't seem to listen. Good luck tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI do so agree with you Birgit.
DeleteDid you get a thunderstorm with lots of hail yesterday? I never thought of the weather affecting pain. It does though, you are right.
Sorry for the delay, my mom has been an issue. She is refusing baths and her toe nails are horrible. We did not have hail although I did hear some thunder.
DeleteSorry to hear your mom has a problem. Does she have dementia or Alzheimer's, or at least the beginning stages?
DeleteWe had large lumps of hail falling. Last night (Sunday) we got snow.
Yummy looking starter.
ReplyDeleteLove me some smoked salmon Ivy.
DeleteWe call it lox where I am from. And boy, we ate it allll the time. I can no longer have any raw/smoked anything. But that's okay.
DeleteA lot of places call it lox. Delicious. So sorry you can't eat it any more.
