I had three cracked eggs I had to use up last evening. The cracked eggs were the result of buying a dozen eggs at a reduced price from Northern, silly me did not check before buying, then Northern made checking difficult as the eggs were saran wrapped.

No biggy, but what to do with the eggs? How about making some hollandaise sauce thinks I. Never attempted making it before and after looking at the recipe I had no great urge to start now.

Then I came across a less complicated and time consuming recipe using just one saucepan, I hate these recipes calling for double boilers and drizzle slowly or there will be disasters.

Any way the sauce came out Ok, even Fran liked it. Surprisingly it accompanied the poached smoke char and cod and scrunchins quite well.


Temperatures are on the rise next several days, only 40% chance of flurries, I cant not wonder what we will be in fore when we do get a snow storm.


The group who headed north early last week arrived back Monday bereft of caribou but with partridge and fish.

Going was hard with the lack of snow, even if caribou where in the area it would have been difficult to track them. Some wolves were around but this does not necessarily mean caribou are around. or they were around and the wolves took care of them.


Update and breaking:


Peter Cowan is Twittering that;
Nunatsiavut president has booted Keith Russell out of cabinet for not fulfilling his duties. No details yet.

Wonder if any other members are shaking in their boots, still the ones who get booted off cabinet still receive very hansom salaries and benefits, makes you want to puke.

Upertydate: On Another minister of NG biting the dust.

I think is is two animals outside Nunatsiavut. Inside it used to be no restrictions on doe's [females] except people encourage not to shoot pregnant ones.
Now with tighter provincial regulations I am not sure what it is inside Nunatsiavut.

Smoked char....oh, that sounds so good. Smoked fish is very very hard to come by in greater Boston, but once I get to Nova Scotia in April, I will have many feeds.
