Arctic winter games finale

The games wrapped up this afternoon with the street party downtown. It warmed up to a balmy -14°C so I got all my winter gear on and went out to enjoy it briefly.  ​

Protest Hat

​I somehow missed knitting one of the pussy hats during the last Trump administration. Remember those hats? They look like they had little kitten ears on them?

Anyway, being on a news diet, I hear about things in unusual ways. So I heard from my US knitting friends about the latest protest hat it’s modelled on a hat that the Norwegian’s were during the Nazi occupation in the second world war. I went out and bought myself two balls of Norwegian yarn and finished knitting it last night.

Alpenglow

​with the long twilight we get gorgeous alpenglow on the mountains. It inspired me to find a cocktail recipe to go with it. I did and it is delicious. 

2oz bourbon 

.5 oz lemon juice

.5 oz maple syrup 

Dash bitters - I used my home made balsam tip bitters. 

Chill glass. Shake ingredients with ice until chilled. Strain into chilled glass over ice. Enjoy.
