Great so see you back on the thread, Sharon.

You too Christi.

Sympathize with Marti, re no year-round gardening, but do probably need a break from heavy labour here.

Very pleased you had an excellent time with the boys in Chicago, Sharon.
Interested to read the blog. Tim loves trains and like your son is a good cook. The Julia and Julie film has introduced Tim to Julia Child's cooking.
He speaks fluent French, so he does it in style.

He's done Boeuf bourguignonne (Carol, he and Buddy loved it). As said, I don't eat red meat or veal. Last time up here he made chicken cordon blue (using turkey bacon). I made the dessert under his directions: baked pears with grated macaroons, brandy, etc.. Not bad! Of course, we also have wine and baguettes with the French cooking. Problem for me is that I can't eat bread (which I love) without more butter.

Picture below: we met Tim and went to the Tutankhamun exhibit in downtown Toronto today. No pictures allowed inside; outside Anubis (the jackal-headed god). Just about no snow in Toronto. We live to the north in a snow belt.

Saw 1979 Tut exhibit here. This one is a fair bit larger, with excellent historical interpretation. It doesn't have the sarcophagus and gold mask of the first one (security concerns). Relearning Tut. It's ironic that the ancient Eyptians wanted to forget the heretic pharoah, Akhenaton, likely Tut's father, and those associated with him and so the location of Tut's tomb was lost. Now Tut's the most famous of all the ancient Egyptian pharoahs.
