Some things never change.

Of course it’s snowing this being Good Friday.

Not complaining just saying some things never change. Even though Easter is early this year it was always on the cards that we would get some sort of weather pattern change containing varying amounts of moister and hardness content.

It’s about -3 with a light freezing drizzle falling in a NNW 33 wind at moment. It’s welcome for sure as long as it does not overdo the amount and moister content, lots of people off at their cabins and camping out. Light freezing drizzle at these temperatures [-12 wind chill] is like billions of little needles hitting your face.

I received my latest Delicious magazine this week. My sister subscribes to it as part of our Christmas present.
Usually we just oooh and argh at the pictures and recipes but occasionally one will stand out as being simple and most of the ingredients being at hand.

Last night I made up a pot of pappa al pomodoro. Yeah I know, but it is just tomato and bread soup, very easy to make and very tasty too. Of course I had to substitute dried basil for fresh and I just used home made white bread instead of sourdough or ciabatta [whatever that is].

Amazing how something so good is so simple and uses very few ingredients. Maybe that’s why Inuit did not bother to cook their food and did not carry around an herb and spice rack.

So with my taste buds opened up and this being Good Friday and me not making up any hot cross buns I decided on something different from the usual breakfast fair.

I did up a batch of crepe's, or thin pancakes if you like. I rolled them up in some home made red berry [partridge berry] jam and topped them off with the last of our home made bake apple [cloud berry] jelly [not shown in picture].

Hope the Easter Egg Bunny is kind to all; I know she will be to us as I have some eggs from down under in a box some place. Australasian Easter Bunnies seem to produce a different tasting egg than her northern cousins.

Two things on the comment above: I am going to breach my comments protocol, and I hope most will forgive me but I find it just too tempting to ignore.

So in the same vain as the original post.

Not all Inuit consumed raw meat, many of the males were vegetarian, “eats shoots and leaves”.
