First Nations Dinner

Book club was last night, and we always try to make food related to the book. We read Three Day Road, by Joseph Boyden- it's about two young Native Canadians who join the army and become snipers in World War I. The book was excellent, and the food we made was pretty good too!

Maria brought some Canadian wild rice, and I made some Three Sisters Soup (the three sisters being Corn, Beans and Squash) and some bannock (flat bread-Native style). Gab brought the rum (which always plays a big role in WWI stories) and some Heinekin (not related at all, but it's damn good!).

I didn't get a chance to take any photos last night, so here's a shot of the leftovers, which I had for lunch today! YUM!
