The Superbowl Party

 Daughter L and her husband invited us to a Superbowl party at her house.  Her husband's parents decided to come when they heard about all the yummy food.  It was a lot of fun although a stressful game.  

We had pizza, caesar salad, chicken bites and restaurant quality appetizers.  Daughter L baked a creative game cake.

Baked cheese in pastry

 I made this baked cheese in pastry with rosemary garlic and honey inspired by this recipe.  You can serve as an appetizer and dip crackers in it, I ended up slicing it and serving it in small slices as a cheesy appetizer.  Everyone loves cheese in any form.

Bird birth control

 It seems our city has been feeding birth control pills to the pigeons in an effort to control their population.  They started last May and are awaiting the results.

The World's Busiest Highway and Chinese New Year

 I was shocked to learn that Toronto has the world's busiest highway but it is true!  We think it is the section close to Pearson International Airport, some 20 lanes of highway.  There are 5 express and 5 collector lanes in both directions according to my friend.

And Happy Chinese New Year to all who celebrate!
