Canada

Ranging from the Atlantic to Pacific Oceans and northward well above the Arctic Circle to the Arctic Ocean, Canada is the world’s second largest country. Yet its population density of 9 people per square mile is one of the lowest. The great majority of its population dwells in the lower latitudes in the major cities just above the United States. Canada is made up of 10 provinces and three territories. Though the country’s political and culinary existence has been influenced largely by Native, English, and French cultures, a steady flow of immigration from all points of the globe continues to broaden Canada’s culinary landscape. Canada is well known for its natural bounty: berries, salmon, wild rice, fiddlehead ferns, wild mushrooms, caribou, and of course maple syrup. More than 80 percent of the world’s maple syrup comes from Canada. Canada’s wine industry is coming on strong in British Columbia and Ontario. Curiously, Canadians eat more donuts than any other nation on earth. With more doughnut shops per capita than anywhere, it’s not surprising that Canadians are also big coffee drinkers.

Bat Cupcakes

Reviewed on Nov. 14, 2009 by BlogAlotAliCat 
So easy to decorate, the kids had a blast helping out. When making the bat wings, the kids found it easier to saw the cookies in half vs pressing down on them to split them in half. When they pressed down on them, the cookie tended to break apart not necessarily in half. Otherwise, this was a fun project.

Mom's Sushi Rice

Reviewed on Nov. 14, 2009 by BlogAlotAliCat 
I've used this recipe about half a dozen times. It is perfect, the secret I never did before was the sugar and rice vinegar when I cooked my japanese rice. My older daughter loves california rolls and the compliment I got from her when she opened up her lunch was that she thought I bought them at a Japanese restaurant. I didn't like it as sweet though so put a little less sugar in.

Salmon Macaroni Bake

Reviewed on Nov. 14, 2009 by BlogAlotAliCat 
Quick & easy to throw together. Had to use up an 18oz. boneless raw salmon in my fridge & had 2 boxes of Kraft white cheddar mac&cheese lying around. I just doubled the recipe, except 18oz salmon, not 12oz. (only for those who like salmon, this was a good amount & I think less would've been not enough seafood.) I also thought 1tbsp of onion was not enough (how can you even taste that little?) so added 1/2 an onion to the original recipe list. As an added touch, I put a thin layer of sliced cheddar on top while it baked so it would melt over the whole dish. Looked yummy! Dad and the 2 girls (10&7) went for thirds At least 2 of them will usually think I need more salt in things I make, but I didn't need to put any in! It tasted great the way it was. You can look at my submitted photo for my first try at this recipe.
