Korean Food....

On Saturday night... I was invited over to Tara's House... for some yummy food!! She's had a friend here visiting from Korea...and well He cooked some AWESOME Korean dishes... I must admit... I'm not sure of ANY of the names of ANY of the food I had...but it was DARN good!!! It was my first time eating it.. and well everyone else around the table... kept looking at me... wondering how I was 'deal'n with it all.. and well I think i disapointed them... see I luv hot and spicey foods.. and well some of the dishes were just that!!! Here's some awesome shots of my plate.... Thanks for some awesome food.. and great conversation!! :)

...the CAKE!!!

...procrastination? hmmmmm I think not!! It was done on time... and so delicious!!!

(and made from scratch...and my skills from high school when I wrote on cakes in the Bakery & Deli Department in Haliburton IGA hadn't faded that much!!)

Procrastinating....

I'm the QUEEN of Procrastinating.... I usually enjoy the rush of finishing things at last minute....In university and then later Grad School---I stressed out people around me with my chill relaxed approach to writing papers--and studying! (well perhaps the outside was chill and relaxed--but the inside of me was FREAKING out over how to write the perfect paper--that's something I have to still work out!)... In Grad school I did some self-searching and finally came to grips with it... I like doing stuff last minute... I personally LUV the rush it gives me... and it's almost me racing against the clock....and the RUSH when you finally get something done on time...well that's the perfect high...because it's almost like you've beat the system... So you might ask? why am I talking about Grad school? that was like so 2007-08.... but tonight this whole procrastination thing... was coupled by a 'lack of memory' thing.....

See tonight I'm kicking myself.... I have to bake a cake for work tomorrow(long story)...I as much as I don't like to cook--I LUV to bake, usually but tonight that it was Thursday and I had to bake this cake for Friday..! 

So here I sit at 11:19pm---with 7 more minutes left on the timer..... and I'm exhausted.... I've been sleepy all week...but I can't go to bed.... I'm watching that timer...count down... can't let the cake burn... because then i'll have to start all over again.... (thank goodness I can ice it tomorrow on my lunch!)

Fingers crossed....that when this cake is out of the oven... I won't have that crazy rush.... and not be able to sleep for hours!! ....there goes the timer! Off I go!!

...winter wonderland...

I took these photos after leaving work yesterday at 5pm! The sun is setting about 4:45pm ish...these days... but it was fun to go for a 'short' walk in a winter wonderland!! This is the view from my front porch--looking at Mt. Duval and the BIG building is the GN (Government of Nunavut) Building--where I work... (things are named sooo creatively here!)

This photo is looking out in front of my house.... you can see the last of the sun setting out at the Cumberland Sound.... and see the snow/cloud still happening everywhere....

...I'm hoping that the wind better pick up and blow a bit of it away ie) the path I walk to work...because i don't have a shovel...AND it's already at the tops of my Sorel Boots!!

...and it hasnt' stopped yet!!

I woke up to a WINTER wonderland..... there's nothing like seeing the fresh blanket of snow covering everything!!

here's a view out my window....can't even see if the ships have left..or if they are still out there!!

...and looks like it won't stop any time soon!!!

SERIOUSLY I'm LOVING it!!!

....the Many Faces of Bloggers!

It all started on the walk home from the Northern.....

We took a few 'solo' shots of us overlooking the beach...

Someone suggested, "Let's get a shot together...." 

Apparently I didn't get the memo about sticking my tongue out!

No... we need a more 'normal' looking one!? (little did Tara know I'd do this face)

Tara says, "your face was like this? we'll do that next time?" "Sure..." I replied... hehehehe

Finally a great shot of both of us!!

It's HERE!!!!

There are 3 ships in this photo....(left to right)

the SeaLift Barge, a Fuel Ship and Fishing Boat (it's hard to see!) 

...click on it if you would like to see it bigger!! :)

Showing off my 'new' hat!!

Most of the day today---when I looked out the window I couldn't see the Mount Duval or any of the fiord!  I was over at my friend's place...and when it cleared we walked to the Northern to get some groceries... so much fun to be out in the snow!!

One of the fork lifts..bring some of the crates to shore from the barge---it was fun to watch in the summer..but it's a COLD job today!!

...my door... the wind likes to blow lots of snow.. so it sticks around my door.. and when I open it.. it falls into my porch area!!
