Poutine is a fantastic Canadian culinary invention. Hot chips (or fries) with gravy and cheese curds.
Bluetine is a slightly more alarming concept, but is also rather tasty.
Sweet potato fries, blue cheese sauce, curds and a demi-glace…. mmmm, curdalicious.

my thesis has been passed!
Largely minor (but apparently a few substantial) corrections to be made, but it’s passed!

learning to ice climb
Hopefully ice climbing will open up a lot more peak bagging opportunities for me here.
Since the start of December (or some time around then) the snow just hasn’t left the streets. Well, technically it’s left the streets. Unless you count the mushy brown stuff that looks distractingly like creamed butter and brown sugar. But it’s still everywhere else.
These photos were taken at the start of December, just before Banff Avenue re-opened (after months of roadworks). It was a perfect surface for skiing up and down on.
The Christmas lights are coming out all over town now. And suddenly all of those Christmas cards and images and song lyrics make a lot more sense. I’ll have my first white Christmas this year.
And when there’s enough snow on the roads, you can skate (ski skate that is) up the Tunnel Mountain road, and get this view of the Banff Springs Hotel at night, surrounding by snow covered trees.
