Birthday Murder Mystery

Written by:

We did a murder mystery party for my birthday this year (at a nearby park due to space constraints and current regulations). This one was set in a small village in the 1930s. Everyone did a great job with their characters!

I also got another “Maciek Special” birthday cake this year:

Inuvik Chopped – BBQ Edition

Written by:

I got roped into round 2 of Inuvik Chopped. This one was a BBQ edition and I don’t own a BBQ so I teamed up with my former competitor Evan for our big comeback. This time the mystery ingredients were:

  • Bacon
  • Smokies
  • Pilot Biscuits
  • Mustard
  • Ketchup Chips
  • Maple Syrup
  • Marshmallows
  • Jalapeno
Instead of doing a 3-course meal like last time, this time we decided to combine all of the ingredients into one mega-dish: the “Ultimate Canadian Summer Smokie-S’more” — smokies wrapped in bacon, coated in melted marshmallows and covered in sprinkled grilled jalapeno, pilot crackers and ketchup chips, then covered in a chocolate barbecue sauce that included the maple syrup and mustard.

We did not win

Just like last time, you can watch videos of the cooking and the results on the Town of Inuvik facebook page.

And the Inuvik Drum article.
