Cute Caffe in Nelson, BC

We are on our annual Ski Vacation in Nelson, BC, Canada. The city of Nelson is in middle of nowhere, but their streets are like the ones in San Francisco. Very, very cute town.


We had nice espresso drinks and the best Chocolate Zucchini Bread this morning at "grounded - An organic coffee house" on Vernon street!

Over baked Pita Bread!

I was baking Pita Breads with left over Pizza doughs today. I started to talk with my daughter's friend after I put the last bread in the oven, then I forgot about it a bit too long.


This is what came out of the oven! All other Pitas went flat after they came out of the oven, but not this over baked one! It kept its shape. My daughter and her friend were so excited to see it. I will have to make some hummus, so they can eat it with this strange looking pita.

Homemade Pizza Party!

Since I had a big success with Pita Breads, I decided to try making my own Pizza dough. Actually the recipe was almost exactly the same as the Pita Bread Recipe I used. I decided to let the dough rise twice instead of once after reviewing different recipes on Internet. I got premade Pizza Sauce, Pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and 6 screaming girls. The party was a big success!

Webkinz' New Cloths

My daughter was sick and stayed home for a couple of days last week. We were looking for things to do, and decided to go to a craft store and see if we can get something exciting.

I am not sure if everyone knows what Webkinz pets are. They are stuffed animals that each come with a unique Secret Code. With it you can go to the company's website and take care of your pet virtually. You can go to their website if you are interested.

My daughter who just turned 9 has been really into this Webkinz for a while now. She takes them to her friend's house and visit their Webkinz pets to have "Webkinz Play Date". They also communicate over Internet with each other through their Webkinz pets (parents can decide the level of access their kids can have - you can set it so kids can only use preset phrases from the list website offers).

Anyway, we went to a craft shop and found that their remnants are 50% off of already discounted prices! We purchased about $2.00 worth of remnants, and above photo is the result of the purchase!
