In the morning, we devoured the delicious crepes Nigel made us for breakfast. What a sweetie! There is really nothing like crepes filled with fruit salad, dulce de leche (caramel) spread, nutella, maple syrup, and whipped cream for breakfast. Wow. Now that's a decadent way to wake up.
Mojo and Vincent had to head back to Ottawa for family Christmas fun, so we had to bid them a fond farewell. Vincent would love to be the president of Rowan's fan-club, but I think he would have some stiff competition from the family... But he and Mojo are welcome to come cuddle Rowan any time.
My mom and brother weren't going to arrive until around suppertime, so Heather and I spent most of our afternoon playing with Rowan and making homemade ravioli. Oh my. Time consuming, but so very delicious!
Slow-food geekery with the Marshall sisters
First, we made two fillings: one was a simple mushroom and goat cheese, and the second was a sweet squash, pepita (pumpkin seed), cilantro and carmelised onion mixture. We made our own fresh pasta dough and rolled it out into sheets. Then we cut the pasta to made packets of tasty filling. We also made two different sauces - because we're suckers for extra time in the kitchen - a garlicky aioli for the squash ravioli and a fresh tomato sauce with zucchini for the mushroom ravioli. It took *way* less time to eat then to make, but it was fun.
When Mom and Thomas arrived in the evening, we spent time socialising and eating. Mom hadn't seen Rowan in quite awhile, and Thomas hadn't met her yet, so she was definitely the centre of attention until she went to sleep.
