We made a nice weekend brunch of ham and asparagus crepes with a homemade lemony hollandaise sauce. We’re still on a diet, so we’re going to continue to include nutritional information in our food posts.

Couchsurfers

Written by:

We got our first couchsurfers since moving up North! I had actually forgotten that I even had a couchsurfing account until I got a message the other day requesting for some people to stay with us. My initial assumption was that they were just confused and didn’t understand where Tulita was, but it was actually a couple from Whitehorse who were taking a winter road vacation, with the plan to drive to Coville Lake and back, mostly sleeping in their truck or on people’s couches. They ended up staying with us for three days and got to do some authentic Tulita experiences like attending a handgames tournament and being recruited to judge a traditional dress competition.

Just a side note for all you would-be visitors that the winter road is a totally valid (and affordable!) form of transportation for coming to visit Tulita!

Caribbean-style rice & beans

Maciek and I have been on a diet for the past month, so I haven’t been posting nearly as many delicious food posts recently. Here’s a fun Caribbean-style rice & beans dish that I made Bento boxes of for lunch this week:
