trying something new

not sure if i like the change or not, but i changed up my myspace page the other day and figured i might as well try something new on this page too.

i'll give it a few days to sink in.....

just another day...

Just taking some time to help educate the children of the future.....ahh....reading to kids.....they will never know if I actually read the words that are on the page.....heck they just like the pretty pictures (and on a personal note, i love reading kids books, cuz i can pronounce all the words....lol)

even the kittens love the 'Bucks!!

This is my friend Carrie's cute litte innocent kitten....kitten and I were hanging out last time I was in the States for school.....

kitten looks so adorable in the basket with blankets.....




Here kitten is happy just licking the outside of my drink....but as you can see above.......when you least expect it and leave your drink unattended, kitten will go for the straw......

the best part about camping....

so pammer and i went camping for the canada day long weekend...though we were camping in a trailer so i hardly consider that camping, but nonetheless, it was a lot of fun!

It's been a while since i've been camping so i was pretty excited to get to the best part of the evening.......the s'mores............!!!!

what follows is a step by step guide on how i made the perfect camping snack!!

Begin with making a fire. I think we had the prettiest firewood in the whole campsite....lol!! Pammer's dad works for a window and door company, so we had boxes and boxes of left-over end pieces of door frames, etc...none of this "go cut down a tree and take it's branches" stuff...!!

Anyway, you make a fire and then i play a bit....it's important that i have a poker stick, so that i can poke and play with burning sticks, push them around in the fire pit, flip boards over, etc. Ok, i'm wierd. but it's fun. ANYHOO, you let the fire burn down to coals and then the fun begins!!!




Look at us, hard at work.....!!!

the ingredients....

now that the coals are ready and inviting, it's time to get the key ingredients ready. now, normally i wouldn't choose these cinnamon flavoured graham crackers, but it was all Target had to offer. Not too bad, but i do prefer the original. In any case, let us get this show on the road!


Allow me to point out the GYNORMOUS chocolate bar i have purchased....

And perhaps the most critical part.....the marshmallows.........toasting them to perfection is a true art.....Pammer and I came up with a great idea......begin toasting the 'mallow and then take the first toasted layer off and squish it in your s'more..leaving the middle (and not yet toasted) of the 'mallow still on your roasting stick. Put it back in the fire for round two, and then when it's done, place it on the OTHER side of the chocolate. Therefore, your s'more looks like this....graham cracker-marshmallow-chocolate-marshmallow-graham cracker......oh baby, it's the ultimate s'more!!

final stage

mmmmmmmmmmmmm............delish!!!!!!!
