Most people have heard of, or experienced the dreadful, brutal cold winter in Canada. Has anyone wondered how hot does it get in the middle of summer? Heat wave could very well happen. Last Friday, it was 39 degrees Celsius in Fredericton! Of course, when the weather gets that hot, thunder shower will follow. It was certainly a very Malaysian-like weather. I didn’t mind it too much, since we don’t get it all that often here. It sure beats -39!

There is no free lunch in this world, is there? How about providing free lunch instead? What’s unique about this special donation is that, instead of monetary donation, you’ve to get the correct answers for a few questions online in order for the organization to provide free rice to the needy. Isn’t that cool?

I’ve come to learn that FreeRice is a non-profit organization run by the United Nations World Food Programme. Their main goals are to give out free rice to help end world hunger and provide free education to everyone.

“Who then are donating the free rice?” You may ask. It turns out that the sponsors who place their advertisements on the website are generously donating the rice. Answer some questions, opting from wide span of subjects, such as English, Math, Geography, Chemistry, Humanities etc. Difficulty levels range from easy to hard. Visit FreeRice today and help donating rice to those in need!

It’s that time of year again, strawberry picking season. Yay! After the tiring moving, unpacking, organizing, cleaning etc., enjoying some freshly picked strawberries might not be a bad idea. On top of that, I’ve moved closer to the u-pick farm. This year’s season is a little slow starting, due to the cool weather and consistent rain in the spring.

Miles and I visited the Sunset U-pick farm this week. Strawberries are sold at $1.30/lb or $2.10/quart basket. Pre-picked berries are available at $3.50/quart basket. I think the whole idea of visiting the farm is to be able to pick my own berries; as many as I want! 

Fresh berries are great for making strawberry shortcakes too! Home-baked tea biscuits with whipped cream and generous serving of fresh berries. Yummm….
