Faye and Maciek's Adventures in the frosty Canadian North
It was Maciek’s birthday last week, so I made pho from scratch, or as close to scratch as possible in Tulita (the broth is grouse-based rather than oxtail-based). I also made summer rolls as an appetizer.
Not to be completely outdone in the cake department, I made a cherry cheesecake, which was delicious.
February was a short month, which is my excuse for not having blogged more. Maciek and I are back in Tulita now, and we’ve been keeping ourselves busy. Mostly with the new Oculus Rift Virtual Reality setup that we’ve got now.
I’ve been working long days, so haven’t had the chance to make a proper dinner (will post when I actually do), but I have had a hankering for veggies and hash browns. Luckily these are available at the store, but at a price (see receipt).
Our house is fantastic and roomy, but does need a better inventory than 5 pot lids and 1 unmatched pot. We’ve been without water since last night due to issues with our pipes, which provides the perfect excuse for Evan to avoid washing dishes!
For those who are interested, in the past week, we’ve been eating rice, pasta, spinach from Yellowknife, cottage cheese, eggs, fish sticks, and peanut butter. Just need our hot sauce to ship…
