Grundy Lake

Went to Grundy Lake for camping!

Our camp site was right by the water so it was easy to get on the boat to fish or fish on the shore. At night time, moon was shining bright and there was less forest surrounding the campsite so the area was super bright.

This place is 3 hours drive from Toronto, I got to see so many different kinds of wild animal here. It was nice break to chill in the wild.

Did drawing of Tsum Tsum characters for 7 years old girl.

Stick to the basic and picked Mickey and Minnie Tsum Tsum. I find drawing Mickey and Minnie can go wrong when you don't get their "M" shape forehead drawn right.

- 1 cup frozen peas
- salt and pepper

1. In a large skillet over medium-high, hear oil. Add beef and cook, stirring frequently and breaking meat down with back of a wooden spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

2. Add butter and onion and cook, stirring frequently until browned, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mixture and cook, stirring constanly, until well incorporated, about 2 minutes more.

3. Gradually stir in stock Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce hear to low and simmer stirring occasionally, until gravy has thickened slightly, about 20 minutes.
