Michel Andrew's Walk for Diabetes

As of 6.25 pm yesterday.

URGENT UPDATE:Michel is on weather hold! He is currently riding out the storm just outside of Postville. He has reported strong winds, blowing snow and white out conditions. He is in a small one room cabin and is hanging in there waiting for the weather to clear. He reports that this is a good time to rest his back and to prepare his belongings. He knows that the next few days will be very challenging with all the fresh snow but is looking forward to it after a days rest.

As previously mentioned we seem to miss out on the worst of the weather [one wonders what we are in for when our luck changes], some very light snow yesterday, some wind but nothing to blow any snow, it seems clear with moderate winds this morning.

The much touted Canadian and American weather models by the CBC weather man do not seem to work for us; maybe we need a Northern Labrador model.

Not so south of here going by the update above, hope Michel can get going soon without too much difficulty.
From the comfort of the home I can report that Fran brought some goodies back from Goose Bay, not a lot, just some little things like some leeks. We used to get a regular supply of leeks until the price started to get ridicules and I stopped buying them, so did everybody else I would assume.

Any way these leeks Fran brought were already trimmed, washed and in packets of 3 for under 4 bucks.

Our favorite recipe for them is in leek and potato soup, the picture shows a bowl with some cream just before consumption.





A couple of weeks ago and out of the blue Fran informs me that she no longer has a taste for rice; this creates a minor issue for me as the cook, do I say well too bad or accommodate these changing taste buds.

I still lick rice, what to do what to do, I can’t eat potato all the time, so it looks like [for now] we go with accommodation.

Chicken with a mushroom/leek/celery sauce and dough boys for her, chicken, same sauce with basmati rice for him. It tasted better that it looks.
