As the holiday season ebbs, we have begun once again to eat sil, or Swedish pickled herring. Our consumption was interrupted by bouts of stomach flu or some such. Seems there's a nasty version going around: Lukas and family had it two weeks ago, Jeanne the week following and this week Lee and I succumbed. This meant that the sil I made from 20 salt herring got pushed to the back of the refrigerator, as I cooked and we ate rice.
Thankfully that seems past and now we can take up where we left off a week ago, eating delicious things. So tonight there will be sill and rye crisp bread on the table, beer to go with them, and the prospect of a nice white wine for the endives wrapped in ham and smothered in béchamel.
Oh, how I love to eat! It's so nice to feel good!

Oh, how I love fish! I've had pickled fish dishes, but not that particular one. I made only fish and seafood dishes for the holiday guests.
I came across this review of a beautifully-illustrated children's book about a Cree girl whose mother is among the MMIW: http://picklemethis.com/2015/10/30/missing-ninama-by-melanie-florence-and-francois-thisdale/#comment-5552 It is in the BANQ catalogue, but not in Nelligan.
Bonne année, and good health to your family.
And happy 2016 to you too.
