Christmas Eve Gathering





On christmas Eve, the tradition thus far has been appy's and drinks at Dan and Yvette's house (Daryl's brother and sister in law). This is our second year going and we decided to make and take sushi. Here is an action shot of us making it and in the top picture you will see what's left of two full plates. It was a big hit. We used shrimp instead of salmon (the pre-cooked frozen kind from super store). Also, we put carrot slices inside instead of watercress to add some colour and crunch. It takes very little time to make these, if you cook the sushi rice the day before. You can get all the ingredients at any store. I tried to cut and paste the recipe but this stupid program wouldn't let me. So here is the link:
p.s: this show always has really good recipes on it, the recipes were originally published in the Canadian living magazines (back in the day) and they have made it into a show. We have made many of Kerri's recipes and they all turn out well.

chillin'


Sometimes Daryl likes to hang out with the dogs on the floor. With it being -14 outside and Karen accidentally letting the woodstove go out today, Daryl claimed the only way for him to get warm was to lie around with the dogs. Logan especially likes to roll into you (so that he is on his back and his feet are in the air) if you are lying beside him. He also likes to wrap his arms around you..... a "hug" if you will.... I'm sure the dog whisperer would have something not so positive to say about this, but hey.....we don't really care.
