Ramen and Dessert

Last night we had Morgyn’s Ramen and a home made Chocolate Brownie Cake. It was a really great dinner and dessert :) We watched Anthony Bourdain show ‘The Mind of a Chef’ and Chef David Chang inspired us to make our own take on Ramen! We used a Chicken Stock based broth, vegetables Shitake Mushrooms, Celery, Spring Onion, Pickled Cucumber and a spicy Pepperoni from our local butcher shop ‘Rempel Meats’ to complete the dish. It was so good! For dessert Morgyn made from scratch a delicious Chocolate Brownie Cake with Vanilla Bean and Cocoa Powder. The batter was really thick and it turned out to be more of a Brownie consistency.  It was a great meal!

Learning Keyboard

 

Over the last few days I’ve been taking online lessons on how to play the keyboard. It is really fun and explains more than just what the notes and chords are but also the definitions of things like tones and semi tones, scales, and how to play them. I really am enjoying the lessons, and soon will be able to read music and write our own songs.
