    Homemade food: salmon, banana-squash loaf, dinosaur cookies and chicken soup & stock

    I’ve had an extremely busy Sunday last weekend cooking and baking up a delicious homemade storm.  Since coming back to Canada I have felt the need and want to create wonderful things for Chris and I to eat.

    Hi all! We’ve now been in Grande Prairie for about 10 days, and in that time we’ve managed to check several things off of our ever growing list of things to get done. Who would have thought that moving back to Canada and starting a new life in a completely different city would be so…

    Cu Chi Tunnels from the Vietnam War

    Chris and I have reached our new home, Grande Prairie. Today the sun was shining on the fluffy cumulus clouds and the air smelt of the end of summer as I looked upon the solid yellow trees. It was our first full day in Grande Prairie. Chris and I visited the local TELUS store to…

    Happy Birthday Bridget!

    It was our niece Bridget’s birthday yesterday. She’s a whopping EIGHT! That’s like almost a whole decade. Pretty soon she’ll be driving cars and scuba diving and pretty much anything else she decides to want to do. For now, I think she’ll be concentrating on learning how to rollerblade, which we think is pretty AWESOME.…
