Day 22- April 11- Imaapik Brazeau

Was back at the baking. Today was oven pretzels, the big kind you can buy at the mall. They turned out well and were kind of a fun recipe to do. After they are formed, before they go into the oven you have to dip them in baking soda water. Kind of different, but an incredibly important step it seems. I dusted them with melted butter and a bit of coarse salt. My neighbours approved, as they have become my taste testers for this baking challenge I have given to myself.


Speaking of the neighbours, their son Imaapik is my photo of the day. I arrived in Kangiqsualujjuaq the month after Imi was born. So, I haven't know this town without him, and I guess he's not known it without me as well. He has the most incredible imagination, loves superheroes(and thinks he's one 3/4 of the time), is warm and generous, and is a super duper sweet kid. Since I came back in February with a PS3 and a Batman game for it, he's also visited me quite often when he's bored. He came over while I was baking to try to beat Dr. Zsasz. He's hilarious to watch when he plays. If he is nervous or excited, he jumps up and down uncontrollably! I had to post both of these pictures, his smiling one, and one of him completely into the game, bouncing up and down excitedly!! Enjoy!
