Supper made with love….
So as I mentioned in the last post, yes, today is my birthday. We don’t need to discuss how old I am, just that another year has gone by. It was a really good day. It was nice to spend the day in the community instead of stuck inside. It finally warmed up today so it wasn’t so uninviting to go outside
Etienne made me supper tonight, and even did all the clean up. This is a very special treat for me. I am usually the one that cooks and cleans in the house. He does enjoy helping me in the kitchen, but definitely not with the clean up. So I am enjoying every minute of it. As I type this, he is meticulously cleaning the kitchen, he even has the dish towel thrown over his shoulder for the full effect!
It was a wonderful meal of steak, stuffed potatoes (minus the “shell”) and marinated veggie salad. It was all (as I said) “tres bon”.
Here are a few pictures…..
Piping the potatoes
He wanted to do stuffed potatoes (twice baked potatoes) but at the last minute he decided that he wanted to try it this way instead. He baked them in the oven till they were crispy. They were really good!
Such a good job!
Salad
mmmm.....steak!
Now I have to admit that when we decided to move up here I said good-bye to our gas bbq. We used to cook with it almost daily. Then, I would have argued that there was nothing better than bbg’d steak, chicken, etc. Now, I have found a method to cook steaks that both of us prefer over bbq’ing. I never thought I would say that, but it’s true. Nothing beats a good steak seared in a hot cast iron skillet and then finished off (to your doneness) in the oven!
final presentation

The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.

Looks great, it’s making me hungry, Good job Etienne setting the bar for your birthday. What a good idea on the potatoes will have to try that.

The meal looks delicious! I am going to steal Etienne’s twice baked potatoes. They look like fun and a great idea!
