Celebrate Canada - National Aboriginal Day

Today, June 21, is the first day of Celebrate Canada which is a four-day celebration that begins with National Aboriginal Day.

June 21 was chosen to be the National Aboriginal Day in 1996 because today is the summer solstice.  Aboriginal people have been celebrating their culture and heritage on the longest day of the year for generations.

There are various events across Canada to celebrate the National Aboriginal Day until June 26.  To find out the schedule, please go to

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day

Most of the countries in the world celebrate Father's Day today, the third Sunday of June.  Happy Father's Day to all the daddies!

It is very interesting that restaurants are extremely busy on Mother's Day but not on Father's Day.  Daddies don't want to cook, so, everyone eat out on Mother's Day?  How come we don't do the same on Father's Day?

How do you celebrate Father's Day today?

My friends, it's not too late to make a card for your dad.  I found some Father’s Day message ideas from Hallmark's website.  Message ideas for your father, your grandfather, your uncle, your godfather, your partner, your brother, your son, your grandson, any father-to-be, any new father or a friend.

To all fathers, if you miss those crayon-drawn Father’s Day card, here is one for you.  If you are a father-to-be or a new dad,  may you get many crayon-drawn Father’s Day cards in your future!

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 91

I told one of my friends I had never used organic amaranth flour before.  So, she gave me some to try.  I measured the flour I got.  It was app. 1/2 cup.

With the banana, ground flax seed, maple syrup, ground cinnamon powder and salt I have at home, I made some banana pancakes.  Dairy-free, egg-free, refined sugar-free, soy-free, wheat-free and gluten-free.

The pancakes were soft, moist and sweet, exactly how my mum loves her pancakes.  But I would prefer my pancakes moist, sweet but firmer.

Sorry, we ate all the pancakes without taking any pictures.

I'm thinking about buying a bag of organic amaranth flour.  Next time I'll remember to take some photos.
