I’m not gonna lie folks, when I woke up this morning at various points (since sleep wasn’t my friend this a.m.) I thought it was Friday… Obviously it was not.
It feels like August has been a race to the finish line, though I don’t know what the race is exactly??? Just a case of “The Augusts” I think… (Restaurant specific term, service industry staff typically burn out & lose track of time/forget that July was a month mid-August in my experience)
Throughout all the rushing around though sometimes something stops you in your tracks and you’re reminded to stop and smell the roses, or look at the flowers you planted in the early spring that finally have opened up!
We planted this big beautiful Dahlia near our walkway in early-mid April (I think???) so it’s now greeting us every time we walk in or out.
I also spotted these 2 beauties at Costco today (only $9.99 each!) and figured they would look great somewhere around here too.
Though we’d love to have some Big and Tall Sunflowers, these little guys are pretty and will help to fill out the late summer/autumn flowers in our garden. (though they are annuals so I may consider planting them in big pots so I can move them inside and try to keep them alive through the winter. Also as I’m sure I’ve mentioned at least once before “Sunflower” is an awesome Beach Boys album, and greatly underrated!)
Despite the fact that it’s summer, sometimes a rich & hearty pasta is what you want and need for dinner. Ewok agrees and is waiting for his!
So on Sunday we made one of our new favorite comfort sauces from this awesome cookbook, “The Elixir of Life”
While the book calls for gnocchi, we just make sauce and toss it with any pasta we have and trust me it is delicious! The only thing I’d say is you’ll need more mushrooms than you’d think (if you have too many mushrooms, that’s probably the right amount… They shrink down alot!) Oh and for extra richness (as if mushrooms and cream aren’t rich enough) add some butter towards the end of the cooking process, I’d also recommend getting a good amount of exercise before this meal because afterwards you aren’t gonna be going for any bike rides.
Delicious food aside (and yes we had leftover pasta tonight but it was delicious White Linen sauce!)
I’m done. It’s bed time. And there are sales you fine folks are dying to look at, so if you haven’t already scrolled down to them this is your opportunity.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and have an equally awesome week. I’ll see you soon folks. Thank you as always for the support & the awesome comments! I always look forward to them so please keep them coming!
As we are all getting back to normal I think it’s important to remember that we’re not out of the weeds yet, and each province has their own Health recommendations based on the provinces individual risk assessment and I would recommend that you follow the recommendations for your specific province. Information can be found at the following websites.
So there you go, a little reading material for you.

Holy moly back at ya…. 2 1/2 cups of cream??!
Good lord that sounds good! Did you include the Gorgonzola? My mouth is watering reading that recipe. I’m on an intermittent fast so no food ‘til 12:30 🙄. Thanks. Thanks a lot 😏
I’m really loving these month long discounts since I’m “trying” to keep my forays to every other week. Hopefully they’ll keep it up!
Btw, has anybody tried that Boogie Board Dash tablet? I’m thinking of giving it to an 11yr old niece and would like to hear any pros/cons…. thanks!
Cheers & chill & thanks, Jan
Thanks for the pics. We ran out of yogurt. And love the Kirkland Signature yogurt. Nice bacteria in it, for the normal stomach bacteria count. Healthy gut. Less infection 🙂
Thank you so much for doing these weekly posts! Do do recall what area of the store the Blood Pressure Monitor was located in? Haven’t seen it in the Costco near me but I could have missed it. Cheers!
Yes! I’ve tried the crepini wraps. They are exactly that- very thin crepes, not sweet, very soft and a neutral flavour. I used them to make breakfast wraps.
Hello to Fever-Tree Tonic Lovers: Today, my Barrhaven (Ottawa) Costco location had only 5 cases of the Fever-Tree tonic. Grabbed some in case they are going to stop selling it. Loads of the Ginger Beer though — my husband said “Maybe they’ll put the ginger beer on sale; I love it and it doesn’t seem to be moving”. What an optimist!
Glad I found the link to the Costco East! Ive been following Costco West for a few years now but we moved back to the Maritimes before the Covid took over, thanks for the great work!

Wowsers, that pasta sauce sure looks good! Nice to spoil yourself once in a while.
You dahlia is beautiful, I’ll plant some next year. Those sunflowers are lovely too, great idea to bring them inside before the frost hits.
Glad to see the Aussie Bites are still on sale, didn’t get out last week. I’m also a fan of those Dad’s oatmeal cookies.
Thanks again for all your hard work putting this excellent blog together! We all really appreciate it! Stay safe! 💐 🌷 🌹 🥀 🌺 🌸 🌼 🌻 🌞 🌝

Pasta, flowers, a cute kitty and Costco sales, what a great start to the morning. I look forward to your posts every week, thank you!!
By the way, has anyone tried the Crepini egg wraps?
Yes! I’ve tried the crepini wraps. They are exactly that- very thin crepes, not sweet, very soft and a neutral flavour. I used them to make breakfast wraps.
