Donuts anyone?

 The Okanagan produces some amazing produce. The fresh food here is delicious...I'm getting used to eating organic ;) 

Last week Tracey and I made donuts... It was our first attempt and we were pretty happy with the results.

First the dough....

 Vince made a delicious chocolate glaze

Then we shallow fried them and Tracey made some custard

 Then we filled them with custard, or jam, rolled some in sugar and glazed the rest

 YUM!

 Taste explosion.... all over Tracey!

Oktoberfest Penticton style

 Last night I ventured into Penticton to go to Oktoberfest at the convention centre.

The photos say it all really.... many many beers consumed! 

 I love beer?!

 some needed to be carried home :p

Voilet Beauregarde?!

Digging out tanks is up there with my favorite things to do at work

 I have set a personal record of being at work for only 2 hours and getting the messiest I have probably been to date.... yes..... it looks like I may have been shot or may be turning into a blueberry?!

 some pretty cool moments while making wine that I think are photo worthy... like below, I was sucking the juice off the top of what is called Lees (its the solids settle on the bottom of the tank)

 Thanks to Dad and Julie for the cash to get a new work jacket. BOY am I glad to have it... it's getting seriously cold!

Monday marked another year older on my Calender and although I had to work, my friends and I went out for the dinner at a nearby Indian restaurant which was lovely :)

 

 Everyone here knows me so well already.... I was very spoiled with some amazing gifts

and CAKE :D
