Fall 2011

Admit­tedly, in the past 6 months or so since our wed­ding, the fre­quency of our adven­tures has ebbed to a rel­a­tive low.  We have tem­porar­ily shifted our gazes inward, to our home, and each other.  Not a bad thing, unless you have your hearts set on lots of new blog posts…

On the Sep­tem­ber long week­end, we headed out west.  We spent the first night in Yoho National Park, at a provin­cial camp­ground.  To our great sur­prise, we ran into some friends of ours at the same camp­ground in the morn­ing.  It was great to have break­fast with

Christmas and Boxing Day

We spent Christ­mas morn­ing the way many do — open­ing ‘stock­ing’ presents in our paja­mas, and eat­ing choco­late and man­darin oranges.  We had ‘sticky buns’ (cin­na­mon buns to me) for break­fast, then opened our ‘non-santa’ presents.  For lunch, I made my first attempt at Wife Saver.  It’s a pretty great recipe, if you’ve never tried it — basi­cally a french toast/fritatta casse­role thingy.  And super-tasty.  Look it up if you are unfamiliar!
