Doc. Easy as Pi,

Matt has a doctor’s appointment today so we will be able to check out where exactly she has moved to, there seem to be two buildings involved so I am curious to know what its all about. When I phoned for the appointment I got a different receptionist too, makes me wonder if the staff has changed, or some of them work in another building or whatever. All very curious. I have my regular diabetes check in a month and need to know where that will take place.

PiYesterday I learned a useless little tip which I thought was cute. A lot of programmes have Easter Eggs which are little extra gimmicks you can use, turns out the Windows 7 calculator can easily give you Pi. You pull up the calculator from the start button, change to scientific and then type P, lo and behold it will give you Pi to quite a few decimal places. Of course I had to try it. As they said on Worldstart’s newsletter, its not life changing but its pretty cool.

Our dinner last night went very well, we started with the gladsSpiced Chilled Tomato Soup which I posted on July 25th which turned out to be very good. We followed it with a London Broil and then went on with Almond Rice Pudding which is one of my favourites. Our friends brought some lovely gladiolus which I am sitting looking at right now.  They are the same colour as this picture, the Mennonite farms all seem to sell them in the summer.

Here’s a nice easy dessert from Kraft.
