Today felt apocalyptic. It smelled like late summer in mid-May. Thinking of all the people and animals in northern communities who are being affected and displaced by these fires… let’s all hope hard for some rain.

If you have hard-boiled eggs in your fridge, try peeling them and giving them a dunk in pickled beet brine (or even regular pickle brine, though it won’t look as pretty!) for a few hours to eat straight-up or turn into devilled eggs. (These we’re made by mashing the yolks with a bit of mayo, grainy mustard + green onion, though there are so many ways to devil an egg!) There’s a link in my bio if you’d like an actual recipe!

Chocolate + peanut butter eggs! Mix equal parts peanut butter and icing sugar with a bit of vanilla to make a soft dough (add crushed cookie or pretzel crumbs if you lie for crunch!) and roll into egg shapes! Chill to firm up a bit and dip in melted chocolate. So easy, so delish!!

Reluctantly did my first TikTok today… and still no bathroom, so I’m living in my toque between trips to my mom’s to shower. Sub-zero weather is not ideal for morning porta-potty visits (like a far less cool polar plunge) but great for living in a toque.

I’ve been sharing a lot about @thealicesanctuary

I’ve been sharing a lot about @thealicesanctuary recently (I saved all my stories in highlights!). Yes, they’re filing an appeal-a process that involves a new committee and should allow Janneane + others to speak. To recap: the adjacent neighbour, who has been there for as long as TAS has and has participated in past events, complained last year as they started to set up for their small (under 20 people) summer weekend tours. A Wheatland county councillor cited “multiple complaints”, suggesting they were all against TAS when half were filed (by others) against the neighbour-one from 2014, before TAS was there. One was about parking on the side of the road in 2019. After lengthy, expensive rezoning applications, the county advised they apply for a home business permit (there’s no fitting permit for a charity), and admin advised council to approve it. At the March 14 mtg the councillor-who said “this is not agriculture, this is the polar opposite”, and stated that the colony to the north also has issues with TAS, knowing it’s not true, moved to deny a 2 year permit to have their tours. J was not asked to clarify anything (I was there) nor allowed to speak, and council voted 3-2 to deny the permit, in part because TAS is not a business-though that was their suggestion.

But! They added that she can also no longer have her volunteers come to help care for the animals + 118 acres of land on Saturdays-a group smaller than my book club, or if my family came to dinner. The county advised that in anticipation of further complaints, she document everyone who comes to TAS so she can “have specific information on hand to provide an explanation”. This is an egregious overstep.

The neighbour told CTV that TAS isn’t compatible with what HE does-on-farm slaughter. Yes, he has customers and visitors. (He isn’t among the 3 farms listed as a licensed OFSO in Wheatland county.) This whole thing is abhorrent. 2/3 of the animals at TAS come from farmers, the rest from Calgary/Siksika Humane, SPCA and other orgs who need homes for abused, neglected + special needs animals. TAS asked that letters of support be sent to info@thealicesanctuary.org -thanks for paying attention! ❤️🐴
