Day 6 ~ From a Distance

Day 6- From a Distance

Carbonear Island  is located at the mouth of Carbonear harbour.During the Battle of Carbonear (1697) the abandoned town was burned, but the residents were successful in defending the island from capture thanks to fortifications they had erected with their own funds, the earth works walls of which are still evident. It continued to be an important refuge for settlers in the region during subsequent attacks from the French and later by American privateers until the early 19th century.Carbonear Islands military importance was recognized in 1954 when it was designated a site of national significance and in 1981 it was officially declared a national historic site of Canada. The first of a series of excavations began on the island in 2010 to learn more about its role in protecting English North America, and approximately 1300 artifacts were found in the first summer's dig.

Day 5 ~ What I Ate

Day 5 ~ What I Ate

So I'm not that great at cooking. I'd go as far as to say I'd starve if it wasn't for hubby. But I can make some basic meals and macaroni & cheese is one of them. So for supper tonight it's Mac & Cheese.

 MACARONI & CHEESE

3 cups macaroni ,  bread crumbs ( maybe a cup or less) , garlic powder, onion powder or flakes, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, and grated cheese ( I used 2 fistfuls).

Pour cooked macaroni into a greased dish. Sprinkle with bread crumbs add garlic & onion. Stir. Then add milk and cheese; Stir. Top with grated cheese. Baked for 15- 20 mins.

Dessert

And dessert is a Banana Bread courtesy of my neighbour Shirley. Very yummy!!!

30 Day Photo Challenge


I've decided to try out a 30 day photo challenge just to help myself get back into the habit of regular blogging. It's pretty self explanatory, but basically days 1-30 there is a certain photo I’ll take for that particular day and post it here on my blog. If anyone else is up to the challenge ~ post a link to your site and I will take a look. Here is the list … let’s see how I do.

Day 1

Movie Night Name Tag

So first on the list is Name. I took a picture of my name tag which was used when some classmates and I hosted a movie night at the College. Kudos to Carolyn for making the awesome tags!

Ignorant people piss me off!!!!

I am not sure if ignorant people congregate at grocery stores but it’s amazing how many ignorant people shop there. As someone once told me “Ignorant people have to eat too". But why do they feel compelled to ask inappropriate questions while they are restocking their pantries? These are People that I want to slap...repeatedly. Ignorant people are so annoying. True ignorance cannot be confronted- it is futile and frustrating to try. The ignorant are incapable of change, resistant to education or widening of their minds, have only a low level of consciousness, no capacity for self reflection and they don't bother to f**king read ( Right Jerry!). They are a different species to those possessing awareness- and only a person possessing 'awareness' can recognize it because ignorant people don't realize how ignorant they are! That's why they're ignorant. Do ignorant people piss anyone else off? Feel free to rant here!
