$5 meals..............

 I am assuming that's $5 US

I would actually eat any of these.  Though not sure is it $5 per serving or just $5 for the whole meal?  All are relatively simple to make though.

I really need to remember some of these!

#11 reminds me of Lady Grantham from Downton Abbey!!

Halloween Cross Stitch

I finally got this project finished.  I should have taken it on vacation with me, but I didn't.  Quite pleased with it.  Got it ironed and put away.  I will hunt it out next year and display it.

Thanks Durene Jones for the pattern.  

Did you know?

I will say I didn't know half of these.  I found it hard to believe that bananas are a berry? So I looked it up:

Why Bananas Qualify as Berries

Botanically, a true berry is defined as a fleshy fruit that:

• Develops from one flower with one ovary
• Has a soft, fleshy pericarp (exocarp, mesocarp, endocarp)
• Contains one or more seeds embedded in the flesh

You learn something new everyday!

Benjamin Moore 2027 Colour Trends

 

I will say I don't hate it; however I don't love it either.  Webster Green has to be my favourite colour in the palette.  What are your thoughts?

Barbara these are for you...........

Barbara over at Should We Stay or Should We Go has just been on vacation and she mentioned on their cruise they called in at Jamaica.  I was saying on that particular day, I watched two cruise ships sail past  our hotel and took photos of them.  Here they are:

It was neat to watch them sail by and they were huge.  While we were in the pool that day I got talking to two couples who were on one of the ships.  They paid to come to our resort for the day.  They arrived at 8am and left at 3pm.  I think they paid around $150 US each or was it a couple (?) for the day and that included all meals and facilities.  Personally if it was each that was expensive, for a couple not as bad.

What was funny with these guys was they were from Tennessee and our talk turned to politics and they were saying how bad things were, but yes they voted for Trump????  They had also had an opportunity to hear him speak for 2 hours and he was a very funny guy?  Really nice folk and very interesting on what they had to say.

Another lady in the pool I was talking to asked where we were from and when I said "British born Canadians," she said "I am so sorry."  She was apologizing for the Orange one, which was funny!!!

There was a lot of British in the resort, as it was half term in the UK.  Along with Canadians and Americans.  There were a few from Eastern Europe as well, but mainly North Americans.
