#FoodandLit #Canada I made Cabbage Rolls it is unclear as to who invented this lovely dish, but we do have a lot of Ukrainian immigrants that came to Canada in the early 1900 s. I learned how to make it from a French Canadian lady. The recipe is very easy.
1. Cook beef with onions and add beef broth pouch until cooked. Cook rice separately. Mix the two together and add soya sauce. Don't be cheap but taste. ⬇️
pick3.5⭐️ Found this to be a pretty good romance novel. I really liked the setting of PEI (been there and I would like to go back again) and the characters felt like they could have existed. Did feel that it lagged a bit in the middle of the book. #2024 #bookreview #romance #canadian #pei #contempoary #fiction

#finished: I completed two books this past week and because I had finished a long book on the 5th, I felt like I had read way too much.
#currentlyreading: As I said above, I had read a lot over the course of over the week and a few days prior, that my brain just felt like mush and I didn't get much else worked on.
Due to the Thanksgiving long weekend here in Canada, my weekend is a little longer than usual. I am planning on hopefully getting to most of these during the next two days. #weekendreads
When your family think they know better than you 'for your own good':
But it‘s not just the fact that yesterday was a particularly long day that has me in bed at a time when I‘d usually be serving coffee or writing. It‘s also the emotional toll of spending so many hours around my family.
pickLove books which you can read in one day. This had all the features of what makes a good chick lit; love, angst, corniness with a healthy sprinkling of character development and independence. But what‘s better than the romance was the friendship dynamic between the main character and her best friend. Call me cliche but partners (guys) come and go but best friends are forever!
pickWanna get away? Spend time with THIS SUMMER WIILL BE DIFFERENT by Carley Fortune, a delicious summer on Prince Edward Island with a cast of characters who will win your heart.
I don‘t have any cherry pie to pair with this book, but it‘s far less of a theme than the title implies so I think Jackie Lau‘ll forgive me for eating marble loaf instead.
The book‘s excellent; punchy and highly readable, with a lot of publishing realism in the mix. I can‘t claim I‘m super invested in the romance, but I do love Emily and I want great things for her. If she decides a future with Mark is a great thing, I‘m cool with it.
I guess every country where cabbage grows would have its own take on the dish 😁 1w
