Christmas Cake

This years version of my fabulous Christmas cake turned out really well if I do say so myself. It is a tradition I like because it lasts. 

Today in History

Chris headed south today to be with family. 

Vikram Vij in Whitehorse

On Saturday night Vikram beach was in town hosting a fundraiser meal for the local hospital foundation friends of ours are tuned into social media and got us tickets for the sold-out event of 400. I was having too much fun to use my phone, a good sign. The food was excellent, there could’ve been more of it and the rice could’ve come on time. I think it will be cool if the recipes came with the tickets. Our entire table of eight did agree that if we’d been running the show the show would’ve gone a little smoother. That could’ve been the liquor talking though. Yukon Brewing was there with some of their signature spirits making excellent cocktails. There were rather a lot of very Russian queues.  By Russian queues I mean everyone saw a lineup, and went and stood there without knowing what youd get at the other end, just trusting whatever it was would be something we’d need. 

Cranberry Fair

The Northern Fibres Guild hosts a juried Fair every year. 

Christmas Craft Fair Season

My very wonderful and able helper Chris and me at my first Christmas craft fair for the 2017 season. 

Summer in a Jar

I harvested our mint, calendula, camomile and dried them. Today I blended this lovely tea with some rose buds I’d gotten in Chinatown.
