Alberta-British Columbia Boundary.

Where are those amazing rocks, and what are they called?

My goat's milk is not straight from the animal, but it is "organic". I buy it pasteurized, in a carton, from my local whole foods store. I use it to moisten my breakfast cereal, and to make rice pudding, not to drink. I never liked milk as a drink, even in the days when my stomach could handle the regular cow product. The whole foods store sells sheep's milk too. Sheep's milk yogurt, cheese, and ice cream is delicious, rich and creamy, with a higher fat content than cow's milk. My favorite sheep cheese, with a strong, nutty flavor and a soft red rind, is called "Mouton Rouge".

As a true Dane cheese is one of our joys in life.
I love almost all the Cheeses made in Tasmania.

The Rockformation is called "Ëye of the Needle".
It leans against Mt Norman.
And Mt Norman is the highest point in the Granite Belt region.

Back to Skating on Lake Louise.

Another Icy Picture from LL.

I wonder if this is a typical way of serving good quality Sea Food in Canada ?
This was in The Fairmont Château Lake Louise.

Here in Queensland we grow Prawns in man made salt-water lakes.
Saves all that going out in Trawlers and burning all that Diesel fuel.
Jacobs Well has about a dozen such Farms.
http://theextramile.typepad.com/the_extra_mile/2010/08/cane-fields-prawn-farms.html
90% of SE Queensland's Sugar Cane grows in this area as well.
If Yall Google Earth 'Jacobs Well', you will see just how much Cane grows in this area.

Ginger - looks like they used a cedar plank to cook/serve the seafood. That's a common thing to do, in BC.

I must say as an Artist I did like the presentation.
Do they use the same plank over and over ?
Or does every customer get a new plank ?

I very much liked the look and taste of this 'Stone Fired Pizza'.
They were peeled cherry tomatoes and 'Fetta Cheese'.

Thanks for the links, Ginger. I enjoyed reading about Girraween. Some of the little marsupials were new to me. I particularly like the look of the spotted Quoll, but it is listed as carnivorous, so it probably isn't cuddly and would consider my fingers to be edible. As for farming prawns - I had no idea!

These next two Pictures were taken as Lake Louise began to Thor out.
The Pictures were taken on the 28 March so the Lake does not take long to Defrost.

They would use the plank over and over - cleaned well, of course. And the smoking gives the food that real cedar-cooked flavour which is lovely.....
Have you ever used cedar chips in your BBQ?

No Tallulah, I haven't.
It is far to expensive here in Ozz.
I have a real Outdoor Pizza Oven where I cook often.
I have even done a full Sheep over night on the residual heat.
As you might imagine, all My neighbours want to be My best friend.

Have you ever tried a Sausage crust Pizza ?
It is one of My specialities.
This is one of them.

Back to the big thor.
The Hotel staff love to tell the story about completely emptying the Lake so they can re-paint the entire bottom of the Lake giving it that unique colour. ^_^^_^

This is a Picture of the whole Pizza Oven.

Looks great, Ginger

btw - my name is Susan. Tallulah's only my registration name.

Thanks Susan,
We do have a lot of great times and Parties around the Oven.

I've been in Glacier National Park and went on the Going To The Sun Road, but not the Sea To Sky highway...... where is that?

Highway 99 is the Sea to Sky Highway, which winds through five distinct biogeoclimatic zones in the Vancouver, Coast and Mountains region of BC, from coastal rain forest at Horseshoe Bay, through Squamish, Garibaldi Provincial Park, and the Resort Municipality of Whistler.
At Squamish we found a BEAUTIFUL Mountain called ' Stawamus Chief '.
And yes we did climb all three peaks.
Have you ever heard of Stawamus Chief ?

Sea to Sky Highway is just behind Sammys right ear.

OK! So these people came and spoiled My lovely View.
They were part of our group so I guess that makes it OK.

Never heard of Stawamus Chief

I am very surprised Susan.
You live there and I am only a part time visitor.

A good link: http://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/stawamus-chief/

Some of the pictures in this link are almost identical to mine.
Except Sammy is not in their pics. ^_^

Ginger - people who travel as visitors and tourists often go further afield than people who live here. I've only lived in Alberta for 6 years, and haven't been everywhere yet.
I've been to Kananaskis, Banff, Waterton, and the Hoodoos. We go camping in the Pincher Creek area, and I have lived in the Edmonton area and north (Whitecourt - only 4 hours of night in the summertime).
Alberta is 255,541 square miles, and you could put several states in it, so no, I haven't visited it all.
I haven't been to Vancouver since I was a teen - 10 hours drive over the mountains.....

I know how you feel Susan.
I have never been to the Great Barrier Reef.
I could be there within a 3 hour drive from home.
And you know I have never been there in 54 years.

The coldest Winter I have ever spent was a Summer in Banff Canada.
This Picture was taken on the 28-May.
We were meant to go for a leisurely 'Summer Bike Ride'. (yeah right)

Is this the Glacier tour you were on ?

I never went on a Glacier tour, although we went on the lifts at Banff...... very cool!
I also walked on the ice fields at Glacier Nat Park..... interesting to see the alpine flowers peeking out, in JULY! Never truly thaws on the high mountains along Going To The Sun road.....

We went on this tour.

I don't know why I have so much trouble adding multiple Pictures.
So I'll try again.

ah yes...... I've been up there, and saw the tour buses, but my DH didn't want to go on it, so we just went on the lift. That was fun, too :-)

Sammy loved the chair lifts as well.
Saved all that hopping about.

As you can most probably imagine.
We have a lot of road kill here in Australia.
There are many people here who will stop and pick up freshly killed 'road kill'.
They will take it home and chop it up and put it in their refrigerators for later use. (cooking)
The 'South Africans' and the 'Kiwis' are the most likely to do this.
On the way home from one of my Road Trips, I stopped for this poor Roo.
Sambo was not impressed but did give his deepest sympathy.
Do Yall eat 'road kill' in Canada ?
I was told Deer is very popular with Canadians ?

In some cities in Canada we have a restaurant called "Road Kill"!!
yes, there a lot of people who eat deer, and goose.......

We don't get Deer around here.
Probably too hot for them.
We do get wild Boar though.

But if you ever run into one of those tough Guys.
They go directly to the hospital to have the Car removed from their leg.
Then they return to the Mulga.

This is not road kill.
I wanted to give the Canadian Ribs a go.

Ready to BBQ.

After one hour it was ready to EAT.

I've been having some Internet connection problems - snow and high winds apparently can affect the satellite dish adversely - so I'm back to using the dial-up line. Nice pics, ginger! Now then, why has Dave located you in Austria instead of Australia? I thought you said you were Danish!

Re, the Austria thing,
This has happened before.
They change it sooner or later.

And yes I did say I was born in Denmark.
See the Danish flag in this Picture ?

On the napkins? Although the pizza as a flag would be pretty unique.

Not the napkins.
The flag is on the match box.

BBQ Canadian style at Beaver Creek, Yukon.
Take a look at this guys vest.
I wonder if he ever washes it ?
