Poutine...A Hot and Cheesy Point.

Poutine. Crispy french fries, loaded with gravy and smothered with melted cheese curds.

Poutine. A divine chemistry only discovered in the combination of these delicious ingredients. 

Poutine: The one creation you can indulge in at any hour.
Poutine. A dish so delectable it's devilish. 

Poutine. The god of all comfort foods.

Poutine. Possibly the best food sensation to ever come out of Canada. As you load your fork with gravy soaked french fries and aim for your mouth, the melted cheese creates a thin string as if to say "Don't forget me!" In the milliseconds leading up to the mouthful, your tongue can already taste the salt and your nose inhales a whiff of the beautiful smell. When you finally touch your lips to the gooey goodness your senses feel that they are at Heaven's gates and once you swallow your mouth screams one thing...MORE!

Precious Projects, Some Knits and Purls

For the last four years I've taken a fascination in knitting and crocheting. When I completed my first project, a knitted scarf, I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Now having much more experience with tension and stitches, I look at the adorable pink and purple scarf with its uneven width and constant holes, laughing! Personally, I love the satisfaction that comes with finishing any kind of project. Being able to say "I made that." instead of "I bought it at..." Recently, I decided to start taking pictures of the things I make so that I can look back and see how much I've actually completed, I only wish I had done that from the beginning! Here are some of the knits and purls I've created over December, stay tuned for more!   

            

First Snow

Christmas and snow just seem to go together, but this year to some dissatisfaction, the snow decided simply not to fall. Oh well, even though it missed Christmas all together, we were overjoyed when it came the following day. Embracing the frosty air, we took short, brisk walks around the neighbourhood, built our first snowman and even caught a few flakes. Of course it's not cold enough for anything white to stay longer than a few hours so we are, again, back to sunshine and blue skies. I guess I should be thankful that we're not in the middle of a deep freeze, waking up every morning to shovel the driveway and complaining that it's too freezing to do anything! But still. Even though I'll probably be wishing for summer after a mere week of white, I wish it would cover our lawns...for even just a little while.
