Strawberry Curd Lemon Meringue Cupcakes

July 1st is Canada Day.

It’s kind of like Independence Day, but for Canada.

On a side note, did you know Canada came from the First Nations word “kananta” which means land?

We’re a creative bunch.

Well you know how lots of people have Independence Day parties? Where everything is red, white, and has blue sprinkles?

Well, Canadians can be patriotic too.

We use red sprinkles.

Or fire. Fire is so much cooler than red sprinkles anyway. Yeah.

These cupcakes are perfect for Canada Day parties. A delicate, moist lemon cake with a balsamic strawberry curd and toasted meringue. Toasted with fire.

Passion Fruit Crème Caramel

I’m part of the science club at my school and a few days ago we went to Guelph University for a science competition.

Passion fruit crème caramel with strawberries and a Chinese lantern fruit

In one of the events that I was signed up for, contestants had to assemble a human foot using “clone bones” with the help of a diagram. Thirty or so bones were laid out in front of each team on a blue mat. My team was competing against three other teams. A few minutes before we began one of the volunteer supervisors asked everyone to put their phones in their pockets.

Orange-Buttermilk Lace Pancakes

During my spring break I flew across the Atlantic to visit my family. My brother, R, and I ended up sleeping in the same room. He slept on a twin bed, and I slept on the ground. I was alright with that though since the flying cockroaches usually attacked from above.

I turned under the sheets, trying to fall asleep when I began to hear a loud, harsh noise.

At first I thought an animal was making that noise – a flying cockroach, perhaps. It seemed though to be coming from R’s direction, but why would R randomly make strange noises in the night?

Pouring pancake batter into a squeeze bottle (left) and greasing the griddle (right)Then I realized that R was snoring. I grabbed my cellphone, turned on the flashlight application, and directed a white light into his eyes.
