On this Canada Day, what could be more appropriate than a basic Canadian meal made from local (very Canadian) ingredients. The banana doesn’t count. It’s only there to give a comparison of size so you can be assured that the trout are not anchovies on a mini hors d’oeuvres plate.
Potatoes from the garden – first of the season.
Spinach and a couple of cucumbers from the garden will add to the mix of fresh veggies on our plates.
This bounty, among many other things, makes me very grateful to be living in Canada.
Happy 152nd birthday, Canada.
To our Americans neighbours to the south, your 263rd birthday is close enough to ours that I can wish us all a happy celebration of our collective good fortune.
Did you know that Americans are 111 years older than Canadians?

What a delicious meal you had.
Pizza is Canadian too, right? If, not our rhubarb crumble certainly was.
Happy Birthday, CANADA. I love my country.

Nothing like harvesting vegetables from the garden and prepping them right then and there for supper! Good size trout you’ve got there. Glad you had a wonderful day!

It surprised me how happy it made me to find those potatoes, ready to eat. Later I went out to pick some New Zealand spinach and cucumbers. So good! Hope you had a happy Canada Day, Sonja.

Thank you. Don’t worry about not having a garden. It is a lot of work and you have good farm markets near you. Nice that you also celebrated Canada Day a bit with us.
