Sunday! Heeyahh!

Been  a fair day. I feel like I've accomplished some stuff today. Went to church, made goat biscuits from scratch, got the barbecue going and then barbecued chicken, shrank a few snapshots down to blog size and here we go. This week in pictures (click on picture for larger one):

This is our nice, roomy elevated deck/back porch. Complete with freshly unburied barbecue. Beneath that pciture is the other half of the deck on the neighboring townhouse. That really is 6 feet of drifted snow stacked up there. No, it wasn't like that at the door, it was only 4.5 feet deep when I got it open. About as high as the railing. I really wanted to start BBQ season.

This is me barbecuing in -10 C outdoors. Why not? If you let a little cold or snow stop you here you'll never get anything done.

These are a new Adam favourite(<= check out that Canadian spelling!), goat biscuits. They're just biscuits, but made with predominantly quinoa flour, so as not to let the gluten monster eat me, but for fun and variety that also have feta cheese in them. It's a nice dry cheese and it only adds a layer of flavour here, not in anyway overpowering. They were delicious, what you see here is what I managed to get a picture of before they disappeared.

The recipe? sure:

1 1/4 cups quinoa flour

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup of butter

1 tbsp of sugar(I used splenda)

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp of baking powder

3/4 cup of milk

3/4 to a cup of crumbled feta cheese

Mix dry ingredients well, cube and cut in butter with forks of knives of something until you have it pretty fine, add milk and feta and mix to make a sticky clumpy mass. Then lightly flour a flat surface and your hands and press everything together into a ball of dough. Flatten it until its about a 1/2 inch thick and use a floured cookie cutter to make biscuit rounds, gather and repress any spare to make more biscuits. I wound up with about 2 dozen. Lightly brush the tops with a little milk and put in a 400 F oven for 18-20 minutes on a lightly greased pan.

On to other things. They were having a spring festival this week. Much of it was for the kids, but the snowmobile drag races and dog sled races were cool. I was looking forward to the seal skinning competition, but it didn't happen, I was bummed out. This was us waiting for it outside of Nakasuk grade school for it to start. It never did, I don't think they had any seals to skin for the competition. Oh well, I'll probably catch something during the summer festival.

That's all, later folks!
