Potluck and Scottish Dancin'

In need of some dessert and not willing to buy chocolate cake I decided to make some cookies to snack on. Peanut butter and Cinnamon with an almond topper. I added some raisins to make them more interesting.


I made these last year for work in Abbotsford. (I forgot to post this to that blog)


The next day Cass and I went to a potluck at one of her friends. We had a candle lit dinner because the light went out at the house we were at. THe power lines are still pretty weak at some locations. It was fun though, there was a diverse group of grad students (all girls) from different disciplines and backgrounds. Cass and I decided to make two dishes from the Essential Vegetarian Cookbook.


Cass made this egg and tomato tart with a brown rice crust with fresh thyme garnish.


I made this lime butter carrot and pea thing with roasted almond slices and paprika dusting.

Today Cassandra and I decided to go to a Culture Days celebration here in St. John's at the Masonic Temple. The St. John's pipe band played and there was highland, Scottish step and kaylee or Scottish country dancing. We participated in the Scottish country dancing. I thought it was good time and was worth putting off some homework for. 

We tried several dances all very simple, heres an example of one.


Back to homework now. I'm going to have a pretty busy 3rd week of October with mid-terms and assignments that are due.
