Aimee sent me some Christmas pictures from Edmonton. The kids do not look that enthused. Who has time for pictures when Santa is coming!
 |
| Seriously! A picture before they have even opened their stocking gifts. That's a lot to ask. |
 |
| Nicola and Carla came down and helped me decorate the Christmas tree before everyone else arrived. |
 |
| New stuff to explore; Rasta's first interest was the boxes that gifts had arrived in, |
 |
| next it was the decorations on the tree |
 |
| and then the gifts themselves (especially in they were in a bag). |
13 for Christmas dinner and gift distribution. Chaotic and fun, lots of food and conversation.
 |
| Then, on December 27th, Christine hosted a Savory Donut tasting at her place. There were Beware of the Cat signs posted with the caption "I look like I want you to pet me but really I want to bite you" (She didn't bite anyone) |
 |
| The event was held to help Christine decide which flavours to offer when she opens Flipside Donut Cafe and Bar in the Distillery District. |
 |
| Taylor, Chris' chef, has been developing savory donut flavours and we were offered 8 different ones. |
 |
| She has to whittle it down to 4 to start out. I loved the Salmon and Dill but don't think it made the cut. I actually liked all of them, the Coconut Curry and Pad Thai were both delicious. |
 |
| These, Taco and Nacho Cheese, were my least favourite. |
We all filled out an online survey and her preliminary analysis looked like Taco, Nacho Cheese and Salmon and Dill would not initially be served. Everyone seemed to like the 2 that had pork belly on them and the Cheese Board was also very popular. She will be holding a Sweet Donut Flavour tasting when she is open, hopefully in February.
 |
| Back at home I finished "Stack of Wool", designed by Ingrid Heronimous. |
