Part 3 – Culinary Delights Fit for a Princess
I slept in on Sunday morning as Katie and Brian prepared an outstanding breakfast. I sadly didn’t take any pictures as the previous nights beer had clouded my ability to document properly.
Even though I was a little slow to get going, I enjoyed Brian’s signature bacon and pancakes.
The Pancake Lesson: Add a dollop of olive oil to the batter.
After breakfast Katie decided to make Banana Bread to use up some bananas that were taking up space in her freezer. She whipped up a loaf of banana bread flawlessly and gracefully in her Kitchenaid.
Banana Bread Lessons:
This is the greatest baking website ever: use it and use it often.
Also:
- Vanilla makes things sweeter
- Salt brings out the flavor
- Always make sure you taste the chocolate chips, they might be bad
- Be sure to thaw the frozen bananas before adding to mixture
- Brown eggs are free range and have less by products
Following Breakfast, Katie and I went for drive on the Icefields Parkway and went shopping. We also picked up supplies for a Cranberry Apple Pear Crumble. The Crumble we made was found at the joy of baking site and was very easy to make.  |
| Brian's Excellent Dinner |
Brian made an amazing dinner. The highlight being and overstuffed twice baked potato as featured in the cook book “Hot Sticky and on Fire”. The roast was also exceptional.
Thanks to my wonderful friends Katie and Brian for the royal treatment at your home in Jasper. Congratulations on all your accomplishments and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Bon Appétit!
