I'm doing this post a little bit early. I changed up my schedule a little by baking in the morning and then went outside to run errands this afternoon. Namely, dropping off the baking to others so I won't have to eat them all! Today I tried the cinnamon rolls again, this time using my warm oven trick to get them to rise up better than the last time. I also tried some variations on the ingredients inside- I used some shredded coconut in some of them, then tried some with a bit of cocoa with a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. The cayenne/chocolate ones taste good but really have quite the kick to them.
I delivered some to Nancy and Mark, then drove some over to Vinnie and Felix then stopped at the school. The secondary students were all in the Agora listening to a presentation about the upcoming Nunavik Adventure Challenge that is going to happen on Saturday in town. They were pretty excited, as most of them were involved this Fall in a similar challenge and had a great time!
While I was at school, I saw Alice, the Culture Teacher for the girls. I asked her if she didn't mind being my photo for today and she agreed. I mostly noticed that she had a beautiful nassak on as well. Alice has been the Culture teacher for quite a while. She is really calm, patient yet very talented when it comes to sewing, cooking and traditional women's skills. I had two of her kids in one of my first Social Studies classes in 2003. They were great kids, but definitely gave me a run for my money in terms of classroom management. It didn't take long before they had figured me out and were very fun kids to teach. They both have kids now and are "grown up", they are really great people!! Enjoy the picture!
