It was kind of a spur of the moment decision since I saw the jar of grape leaves at the store so I just used what I had which was whole wheat coucous believe it or not. I also put in lemon juice, oregano, pepper, crushed garlic, once you cook them in the lemon juice/water mix it tates the same as if you use rice. i was surprised. Nornmally I would have used brown rice though. But you know what, couscous cooks in abotu 2 mnutes so it was very quick. I'll post pics. in the Veggielisious thread later.

I am off to pick peppers and tomotoes.

Natalka I used tofu in the spanokopita instead of feta. You can soak tofu in oregano, garlic and lemon and make fake feta. Phyllo dough does not get as nice and brown without the butter on each sheet but you get used to it.(we use no oil or butter anymore)

Thanks, Patty - it's hard to buy dolmas here anywhere - even though we have Greek restaurants. My son usually just gets them once a year at this summer food fair thingee, but he didn't go this year.
Maybe I'll get brave enough to try them - I've seen the leaves in the store.
I've had such good intentions with some things - I've bought some different grains to try but haven't used yet - brown rice, bulgur wheat, and quinoa.

Slingshot? ;)

Stupid night at work but all done and even done my laundry and had breakfast,lol. Group of people come back to the hotel at 1am (like 10 of them). All of them hang around second floor talking loudly, and 6 of them sitting on the floor. When I offer that if they want to have a conversation at 1am they can sit in the lobby they start giving me a hard time. Look I don't care get off the floor and either go to your room or to the lobby and show other guests some courtesy who at 1am are trying to sleep. They finally start to move grousing about me, I really don't care what you think of me just move,lol. ;)

I bought a lottery ticket & it was a dud.

If I do win a large sum of money, I will take you all on a holiday.

Ah what a day. I went to fan expo canada and bought comics, went to a panel and got autographs!

So my plans are coming together even more for my quick trip to toronto. Fri oct 12th the play warhorse at 7.30pm, and dinner before hand. But first Fri afternoon I am going to mankind grooming and getting a hair cut and manicure, umm yeah.

Now that Im rested, Ill go more into detail.
First got to the Convention at opening time and as I was getting the tickets I preordered I saw a guy dressed as Abe Lincoln ( supposed to be Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter) so I shouted "Hail to the chief" and it turned out to be someone I knew for years but fell out of contact with until a few months ago and didnt recognize right away. He was with toher people I knew so that was cool. They were going to the same panel as me ( The Arrow panel), as we were in line I saw a guy dressed as Ness from earthbound and shouted "We need to stop Giygas" He then shouted "YES! Finally!. At the Arrow panel we were shown the first episode and given some swag ( bracelets with a metal arrow logo and some posters) and were handed tickets. I eneded up sitting next to someone else who was Jewish and it turned out I went to high school with him ( he was a year ahead of me) Then in the row in front of me was a cousin of mine ( whom I also went to high school with) We were then told that if you had a certain ticket you could meet the cast for autographs and I didnt have one but the people sitting next to me did. My friend and I watched the pilot and wanted to ask questions but werent called on for questions. Ben Mulroney moderated the panel and was booed heavily ( someone shouted that his father ( a former prime minister of canada) was still more popular than Ben will ever be) After the Q and A I split up with my friend and walked the exhibitor floor and artist's alley.
I got Autographs from Esad Ribic ( He was very friendly and even more when I mentiond Im also slavic and mentioned how my Great Grandfather got Ellis Islanded when he came from Belarus), Tony Moore ( who drew a punihser logo in my copy of FrankenCastle and talked for a bit and answered a question about the Lawsuit), Bob Layton ( Very friendly and was willing to talk about the problems he had with Marvel over Iron Man forever ( including going through four editors, one of whom didnt know who Layton was!) and mentioned he was upset about Royalties but interestingly had no problem over Hercules), Faith Erin Hicks ( so friendly and nice to talk with) Kaare Andrews ( he drew a spidey sketch in my copy of Spider-man reign and mentioned stuff he was forced to leave out, which was likely for the best) and talked with the creators of Kill Shakespeare ( who explained the delay with the deluxe hardcover of the series) and talked with Neal Addams and got his autograph for free ( he was charging 5 dollars for one ( he seemed a bit weird as well))
I bought lots of stuff as well, including looking for group volume 4 ( which the creators signed for me and I had a really nice talk with them) Doctor strange a seperate reality, the life and death of captain marvel, freakangels ( from the avatar booth) The best of archie comics volume 1 ( from the archie booth), on eof my favourite stores in Toronto had set up there selling artbooks and Albums of European Comics. I got the english hardcover of the nikopol trilogy from them. And when my friend and I were ready to leave, he wanted to go check out one last vendor to look for figures, I had spent enough and wasnt going to spend more but looked through the comics at the store for fun. I came across a still sealed deathlok masterworks for 25 dollars and bought it immediately. A 70+ dollar book ( In canada) for 25 dollars is a big score.
Had a bit of a scare when I lost my bag but thankfully it was in the lost and found with everything in it. All in all a good and exhausting day.

Hoping Lucy wins the lotto :P

Have 3 more bushels of tomatoes to process.

Oh, lucky you, Patty!

My son was just telling me yesterday how much he misses my homemade tomato sauce - but I can't afford to make any this year. Sigh!

Oh, so glad SC is back on - I was 'forced' to watch morning tv today instead of being on here!

So today I went to the orientation for my postgraduate program. A lot of my questions were answered and Im more at ease. Its gonna take some getting used to though.

I hit 500 in my trade ratings!!! :P
