Chocolate Peanut Parfait

It's so simple, and so wonderful!  And, dairy and gluten-free too.

Step 1 - roasted organic peanuts with a hint of sea-salt

Step 2 - whip up some raw Chocolate Sauce

Step 3 - churn some homemade ice cream

Layer together in whatever order and quantity you prefer and enjoy!

Sunday Shopping, Monday Installation

$6 aerator

Last week we had a high-speed blowout of sorts.  The cheap little plastic aerator we'd installed on the kitchen faucet blew off with quite some significant force.  Luckily, it blew off into the dish water and didn't damage me or anything else. Amazing how much force the water has! Anyway, I tried to jimmy the thing back together with no luck.  Water just sprayed everywhere for a couple of days.

On our Sunday outing for grocery shopping, we drove to the famous Oak Bay Home Hardware store to check it out and purchase a new aerator.  We purchased a more expensive model this time and spent a whole $5.99 (plus taxes)! We also found out the store had recently been sold to a new owner.  Peter has been studying local hardware market so this was a bonus piece of information.

Glass door knobs

On a more esoteric note, I want you to notice the similarity between our new installation and the existing, historical theme of the apartment seen here in the wonderful 12 facet glass door knobs.  These door knobs are on every one of our interior door handles, except the front door.  Love it.

Tower of Dishes II

Here is another installment in the stacking dishes saga.  Who knew there would be blogging potential in doing dishes???

New Juicer to try out

Yesterday Peter scooped a Juice Factory 2000 for us to try - free of charge!  Best kind of scoop.  It has a little bigger capacity (but smaller counter space required) and definitely squeezes more juice from the veggies/fruit than our Viking attachment.  Here is a photo of Judith cleaning up after the Juice Factory overfilled her juice glass this morning.

Guess what Judith did on her flex day this week?  First I cleaned and lightly sanded the back door and then I dug out that can of chalk board paint that I have been holding onto for a year or two ... and presto - I painted us a blackboard!
