ice fishing

although the calendar says it's spring, the lake is still frozen. my wrist is still sore, so what better way to spend time that ice fishing in the sun... that's dad





the dog was running around all over





the dog is very curious





line, hook with wormbate going down






did i mention that the dog is curious?





this is what he got, a perch





lots more




scaling




gutting




and ready to be fried. you need butter (the real thing), barley flour and salt





some on the pan





ready to be eaten





this is finger food, best way to get the tiny bones out





another sour lemon cake. the donna hay cake was very good and super-easy to make so i wanted to bake one at the cottage as well. naturally, i forgot the latest donna hay issue home so i had to search the web for a similar recipe. i found one (will post it later, if i find it again...) that i "fixed" a bit, doubled the original recipe and adjusted the amounts a bit. don't tell my dad there is spoiled milk in it!
