^^^ GULP!!
@Lynn49 That poor family of 8.
All asymptomatic positive outcomes.......what were the chances?

I am keeping busy fawning over any and all cooking shows. Tonight I am trying my hand at Kofta Kebab and falafel.

Good day, my friends!
Just came back from our 1st yoga session since Christmas. There are 5 of us in a huge room. My muscles are telling me that I haven't stretched them for a while.

My church is having an online auction starting this weekend, so I am going to take over a piece of artwork that I don't want anymore.

Then go for a little drive as the building is having a fire drill this afternoon, just to tour the countryside a bit.

My BrotherR's Kinsman club is also having an online auction starting tomorrow, so it's a good thing I will get paid this week.

Will chat later- take care and stay safe.

Isn't that frightening, @walkonby ??! Just walking around, no symptoms, infecting others....such a comfort!!!! NOT!!
We are relieved, however, that our Grandson's classroom doesn't associate with others; the school has handled this so well, and is about the last one to fall victim of covid. They're supposed to get his results in 24-48hours. He's anxious to just get back to school.

So, KOFKA?!! I love it in shawarma but didn't even think to look up a recipe...I just kept saying to my Hubby that there's a spice in there that I ought to recognize, but couldn't place it...I just looked up a recipe and it's allspice!!! Love it! It also calls for coriander and cumin, two spices our DD and I can't stand! Naturally we're in about the 1% population that finds those taste like soap!! Ugh!
Unfortunately it contained lamb.
I also won't eat lamb...I mean...just the word!!!!
Hubby orders it when we dine out.
But the rest I can deal with....I hope not much is sacrificed as far as taste is concerned; I know there are substitutions, but I don't care for them, either, lol. Usually I'm not at all picky with foods, but those two spices are awful for us.

Here's a recipe I found that has almost perfect ratings from over 400 cooks which is what I love about allrecipes.com:
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/106030/kofta-kebabs/
Is it similar to yours?

I also love falafel...I can't believe our guide stopped on the bridge over the NILE River in Egypt at a little food stand and ordered falafel for us and OMG, it was amazing!! I can still remember that as such a lovely memory in Egypt along with of course, so many others. I got to pet the great pyramid!

So, ok!! Faux Kofka will be on the menu soon!! Hahaha!!

Nice to hear that you're staying home. For a change. Finally.

Crafts,Cranky Pants,Cats,Cooking shows and County Side,it's the letter "C" day in the Chat a Thon thread! I concur with Cookie Monster that "C'" is for cookie that's good enough for me(join in on the song with me!). Could also stand for Crazy, as in what this day has been! Too much pain from walking and then Catnapping but my sleep was a bit longer than that! But hey it worked and pain is gone for now!(and I got another C word in there).C is also for cooking as in what I should be doing for dinner and lastly closing,which is what I will do now with my "C" post.
Cheers all!

"C"an I please "C"ancel my "C"ommitment to a few "C"ommittees?

My BrotherB "C"ame out of Tim's this morning (which is lo"C"ated at a gas bar and "C"onvenience store.)
He had a "C"offee in each hand when "C"atastrophe struck.

He slipped on the bla"C"k ice and "C"ame "C"rashing down on his ba"C"k and side.

He is, of "C"ourse off work and may go for x-rays tomorrow.

"C"ould you say a little prayer for him, please?

"C" you tomorrow!

@avoncallingu ......Oh CRAP about your brother's Calamity. My Condolences on his saCroiliaC.
See @Skippy ? See what you've started?? ha ha
I adored your letter C post, it gave me quite the Chuckle.

O. K. enough of that silliness...down to serious topics again.
Like @Lynn49 and her misinterpretation of how Ikea and wine work. ( as a brat I'm snickering now )

I am going to post about a big faux pas I made in the " What did you bake thread soon ". ( photo included ) Total brain fart!
So....the Leafs won in O.T. tonight but was it just me watching breathlessly through the entire game to cringe at Calgary scoring with 3 min. left in the 3rd period? Thank goodness Nylander tied before it ended. He also scored the O.T. winner!!
