The Peach Lake

Okay, so it was Lac La Peche, much prettier en francais. Last weekend, Ray took me to Lac La Peche for a little birthday weekend getaway. We ate delicious meals, including a boatload of bacon, Pringles Salt and Vinegar chips (wipes drool from keyboard), and salad..with bacon on top. The cabin had a fireplace, which we kept roaring hot, as the cabin itself was frozen. We read from God's Word together, I journalled, we prayed, it was so relaxing. We were thankful.

We also watched these cool DVDs about Russia, one of which was Jim Henson's The Storyteller. I know, a bit of stretch for researching Russia, but they had Russian fairy tales contained in the series. It was fun to watch. Very hilarious special effects, very hilarious puppets (I'm not sure I would recommend it for the little ones, though). From this video, I learned some fun words along the way, like "snoodle". "Snoodle" means to "cuddle" or "show affection", I think. For example, sometimes when I am in Extra Foods and I see a bag of MiniEggs I have the urge to snoodle them. Instead Ray purchases them, I devour them and then I snoodle my husband for purchasing them for me.

By the way, a guy at work just told me about a wonderful taco casserole recipe, he brought it for lunch and it smelled super. Its really easy...here it goes:
layer of big hashbrowns (tater tots)
layer of salsa
layer of seasoned beaf (taco seasoned of course)
layer of sour cream
layer of small hashbrowns
top with cheese if you like (and yeah, I like)
Bake for an hour at 400 degrees Fahrenheit
