Hooray for Herma's

another visit to Herma's this weekend, a few more bottles of sauces and vinegars....Sunday dinner comprised of pork loin roast marinated in vindaloo paste, couscous with pomegranates & tangerines and boosted with pomegranate basalmic & mandarin oil, and spicy mushrooms    www.hermas.ca

Last year's dyeing experiment....I tried to duplicate the colours in amaryllis 'Clown' with Kool-Aid

Victoria Park is lit up with the annual display--it makes it much more pleasant to walk Archie in the park after work (after dark!)

My favourite area in the park is the bandshell
