Happy Victoria Day!
Comments (8)Thanks guys, the parents are having a really hard time with it. I don't know how his younger sister is doing. Then the neighbour behind us, well his son was best friends with the boy who died. He is taking it really hard. Kory (the boy who died), was really into the outdoors, he fished, hunted, camped, snowmobiled, rode his quad, you name it he did it. Well the parents and close friends all rode quads in a procession to where the memorial was being held. The parents were at the front of the line with both Grandfathers behind them. It was very touching. To end on a happy note, I'll tell you a story they told about him yesterday that made me smile and laugh. Apparently his parents went away for the weekend and left him alone. Fishing season hadn't started yet and he really wanted to go fishing. So... him the other boy behind us figured out a way to fish. They found a really small hook, baited it with a piece of corn, dropped it in the water and waited. (The other boy was video taping the whole thing.) Guess what, he got a bite and caught a goldfish! The two of them were busy fishing in the fish tank in the livingroom! Which since they video tapped the whole thing and didn't erase it they were busted when my Mom and Dad came home and wondered where some of their fish were. Syreeta...See MoreVictoria Day weekend update! :-)
Comments (8)What a lovely garden you have developing. Good ol`bleeding hearts - you can always count on them - they were a standby for me in Yellowknife - usually the first thing to show itself - never a disappointment. Things are blooming down here as well, the Winnipeg Parks roses are barely there but they are sending some shoots up so I hope they don`t look too ragged. Still hoping to get a hummingbird this was - have the feeders out and fingers crossed!...See MoreRecipe of the day January 21- Another crock pot recipe!

Comments (13)WIP: I always serve Biscochito cookies with them but anything chocolate would be fantastic, as well. One cooking hint when making anything chocolate, especially for Mexican/New Mexican foods, is to add a bit of cinnamon while mixing it. It adds a richness to any chocolate dish. My good friend, a home-ec teacher, taught me this. For example, to add richness without actually tasting the cinnamon flavor, I add 1 teaspoon to chocolate cake batter; 1 1/2-2 tsp if I want to taste it. We also frequently add cardamom and chile powder to chocolate. BTW, here's my favorite recipe for biscochitos. The purists and old timers use lard instead of Crisco, margarine or butter, but my DH is a family practice doc and would have a fit if I used lard ;^D Lynn's Biscochito Cookies Ingredients: 1 cups butter, Crisco, margarine or lard, chilled 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided 2 eggs 2 teaspoons anise seeds 4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt About 3 tablespoons brandy 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon Directions: Preheat oven to 350F. Beat Crisco/butter and 1 cup sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and anise seeds, and beat until very light and fluffy. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture along with the brandy. Mix thoroughly to make a stiff dough. Place dough on a long piece of waxed paper(approx. 3 feet) at one end. Bring the long end over the top and press dough until it's about one inch or slightly less in thickness; refrigerate until chilled. Roll out dough between waxed paper to just under 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with flour dusted cutters into the traditional fleur de lis shape or into 3-inch rounds. Combine the 3 remaining tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon in a shallow bowl; dip unbaked cookies into the sugar-cinnamon mixture on one side. Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until tops of cookies are just firm. Cool cookies on wire racks. Makes 4 dozen cookies (These can be frozen up to six months, if stored in a tightly sealed container)...See More
