Pan Dulce Attempt

So today I decided I wanted to make pan dulce or as it is known in Italy as panettone.  This is something I have grown up with all my life and always remember my abuela making it during the holidays.

Now this is my first attempt and I'm trying to incorporate my abuela's recipe with one I found on the internet.

I've so far into the first rising process and hopefully it will work out, if not hey I tried, and there is "tomorrow" :)

Already I did forget to add the lemon grinds into it, but I can add it when I add the raisons and walnuts later on (keeping my fingers crossed).  And I didn't use all the items in the photo.

UPDATE:   Not quite as I remember it, but not bad for a first attempt at making this on my own.  I believe I know what I did wrong and the next one will be even better!

New Eyewear

So yesterday I picked up my new pair of glasses which are alittle different from what I am used to.  These are thicker framed and definitely make a statement.

The glasses are from FYSH which their website describes them as

"an edgy new brand of unique eyewear for people who live, love and lounge in their own way. Inspired by the beauty and freedom of the sea, FYSH is a symbol of the true origins of human style"

You decided and let me know

I know it will take sometime to get used to, but I think they look great.

Snow Days

So what do Vancouverites do best, well they talk about the weather, either it be too much rain, too much sun, or like to day, too much snow. We are again having a great dumping of snow (by Vancouver standards of course), and it's pretty much great to see and get one into the Christmas Spirit.

This is Junior's first snow and he has been enjoying it so much. He loves to run in it, eat it, and of course write his name in the snow :). I shot the following video today via my cellphone's camera, so the quality sucks but you get the idea.



Here's hoping all the Vancouverites are out and enjoying the snow, because as we all know here, the rain is only a day away and the snow will be gone!

Happy Snow Day everyone!
