I grew up in the North. I was born in Yellowknife and grew up in Slave Lake, so when it got to about 25 degrees, I melted. Here in Lethbridge, it cools off to 25 degrees at night.

For dinner tonight we shredded some carrots and flaked coconut in the high powered blender we have, blitzed frozen pineapple into pineapple snow, then added almond meal, raisins, chocolate chips, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg. There are no quantities because it’s a “some” recipe. The only thing I can say is use about half as much chocolate chips as you think you need. a quarter cup did the whole big bowl. Tomorrow I’m going to take the leftovers, add an egg and some flour and make them into pancakes.

This reminds me that I need to make Devon cook for Finn more than he does in book three.
