SCRIBBLES VIDEO | Scribbles 47th Anniversary & Contest

It was Labour Day weekend 1979 when the very first Scribbles was created. It was called SUNNY Digest back then and was a single-copy hand drawn magazine back then, but it had the same unique Scribbles feel to it. Here's a video that looks at our history and includes a contest with some very cool prizes.

RECIPE | Ellen's Breakfast 'Fry-Up'

One of the friendly rounds in Scribbles recent Battle of the Best Series 7 asked what was your best breakfast food. Our Dunnville Scribbles friend Ellen told us her favourite is a breakfast "fry-up". It sounded quite yummy, so I asked her if she'd be willing to share her recipe with Scribbles. Not only did Ellen send her recipe, she also sent a series of step by step photos. 

Here is Ellen's Recipe...

-Chop onions and garlic. 
-While you give them a 5 minute rest to develop the allicin, put a dollop of olive oil in your pan. (Yes, olive oil is perfectly healthy to use for frying.) 
-Turn on the heat. 
-Sauté the onions and garlic. 
-Slice the mushrooms. Add to the onions and garlic. 
-Chop peppers and add to the pan. 
-Zucchini and broccoli are great additions here too. 
-Add tomatoes. 
-Stir things up as you go to prevent anything from getting too dark. 
-Beat two eggs and add to the pan. 
-Give it a tilt or two to spread the egg evenly. 
-Add a teaspoon or so of herbs de Provence. 
-At this point I add some spinach or kale if I have it. 
-I love adding lots of feta or cheddar cheese at this point. 
-I turn the temperature down to medium, cover the pan, and give it ten minutes to cook the egg and melt the cheese. 
-If I have lots of moisture from tomatoes I may let it cook a bit longer to let that evaporate. 
-Then I try to fold it all neatly in half but it usually ends up a marvelous delicious mess on my plate. 
-An alternative is to not use eggs and cheese, just fry up all the veggies, and then stir them into a big bowl with a cup of cottage cheese. Really ugly—seriously ugly—but again, delicious! 
-I don’t add salt at all because the feta or cheddar is salty enough for my taste.

Thank you Ellen, we love sharing Scribbles friends recipes like yours!

PASSAGES | We Remember Our Awesome Scribbles Friend Jenna



    SCRIBBLES EXCLUSIVE    
Jenna's best friend Katie
posted some very moving words the day our friend passed away.
I asked her if I could feature portions of it on Scribbles and she gave me permission to do so.
I have edited out some of the personal parts.

[LEFT: KATIE WITH DOG CHILD - RIGHT: JENNA WITH DOG PAL]

WOW Katie. That was so moving. So raw, so meaningful. so glad Jenna had a friend like you. Sounds very special.

OBITUARY: Jennifer Lynn Skrydstrup Harper (nee Miller) 

Passed away peacefully, as she wished in Grimsby, at West Lincoln Memorial Hospital on Monday, July 27, 2026. Born January 10, 1998, at Oshawa General Hospital. Left to mourn are her mother, Diane; and step-father, Roger Bain; and brother and sister-in-Law, David and Lindsy Miller. Predeceased in heaven by her father, Robert Miller; her husband, Robert Harper; grandparents, LeRoy and Grace Skrydstrup, John and Evelyn Miller, Douglas and Ada Bain and numerous aunts and uncles. Survived by aunts and uncles Sharon (late Calvin) Glasser; Brian (Monika) Skrydstrup, Walter (Marg) Miller, John (Betty) Miller, Ivy (Dave) Smart, Dennis Bain, Cheryl Bain, Lawrence (Trisha) Bain, Joanne (Ken) Hale, loving cousins Shawn, Carol Ann, Adam (Amanda), Sarah S, David (Jen), Sarah I, Christopher (Rachel), Michael (Katrina), Alexandria (Jesse), Laura (Ulas), Victor, Andrew and Allyson.
