a rather uneventful trip in to camp. Flew up from Edmonton to YK on the Sunday with all the connections smooth as silk. Well, minus the 20 minutes or so we waited in Edmonton in the plane for 'passengers from Toronto on a connecting flight' according to the flight attendant but then just before take off we were told by the captain that 'the bags...your bags...that were still in the airport finally arrived to the plane and we are cleared for take off'. Either which way, we made our way up to YK and arrived only 20 minutes later than expected.
Spent the day setting up the Wii and Wii fit for my mother and baking a lemon meringue pie. The pie did not turn out too well since I had to use a premade fake pie crust and I really am not partial to that sort of thing. Came out kind of stiff and tasteless. Though I did find out that my mom has a way better lemon zester than the grater that I use at home because the lemon zest I normally put in the lemon filling was able to melt in with the gooey filling and make it smoother but still have that lemony zest that makes the filling so tart. The grater I use at home has a sort of thicker chunky taste and you end up chewing the chunky bits more than anything else.
Today I was at the airport for 8:45am to catch my plane. It was set to leave at 10am but we were told that due to delay in leaving somewhere the plane would not be available till at least 11am. At that point one of the ladies at the airport went around and asked if we would like the breakfast that we would have gotten on the plane right now. It isnt a big airport or anything just a small little charter airport building kind of thing. I was kind of hungry so I said sure. She went into the back and came out with 4 boxes and put them on the counter and we were told to help ourselves. They were the same size as the type you get from KFC when you order a 2/3/4 piece chicken meal. Anyways, I took one and sat down and I am pleased to say that I think I had my first 'crack addicts breakfast'. I opened up the box and inside was a container of yoghurt, raspberry granola bar, fruit medley juice and a piece of chocolate cake. At 10am I was sitting there eating chocolate cake. Though, on the up side, it was a really moist piece of chocolate cake.
Got to camp, found out that I was given the torch of 2nd cook and finished my shift. So, now after a fun filled trip up, time to see what the next few weeks (possibly since they havent told me how long I am in camp for) will hold.
