Haiti Relief

It snowed a bit the past few days and I did a small bit of shovelling, but there really hasn't been much snow this year. We're on track to set a record for the lowest amount of snowfall this year.

One of my sisters sent me this Adam Lambert signed Ellen Underwear and photo bid on Ebay currently going for US $7,605. It's for Red Cross Haiti relief and we think some rich people must be doing this for the tax break (why else?). (-:

Kary at My Farmhouse Kitchen has a great bread recipe on her blog, it sounds so 'do-able' not to mention delicious. I made some slow-baked back ribs yesterday using a recipe that my sister sent me. I baked the ribs in a covered oven roaster pan for an hour and a half at 250F, slathered in bbq sauce. Everyone liked it, and the ribs did seem to be falling off the bone. My sister said she did hers for 3 hours.

Here's a nice video of Vancouver City if you have 5 minutes to watch it.

SoccerMom, you've inspired me to go get the ingredients too!

Mmm, Adam Lambert wore underwear with 'ELLEN' printed on the waistband when he appeared on her talk show recently. You can see him displaying it just below his waist in the photo, along with his signed photograph. I believe it's a clean new pair that's being auctioned off!

Gosh those ribs sound delicious! For some reason I am having a hard time finding ribs here in the NL.

I LOVE Vancouver!! And that is a gorgeous video.
