well hello everyone good afternoon

greetings from the basement great things from our anyways with today's video we

thought we would show you our winter getaway in canada that we had at the cottage in muskoka this

was pretty pretty neat moroni the whole family got together yeah so this is

something that we basically do once or twice a year with the whole family we

all just like rent a cottage in canada for a week in this case it was just for like three

or four days because everyone was busy with work and you know yeah we like to

spend some quality time yeah the third annual one in the winter and we've

chosen different locations there's so many different Lakes you can choose from

yes it's actually been a really fun way to get to know Ontario because I'm do

always go to like a different area of cottage country in muskoka

yeah we've we've chosen a completely different area so yeah now we're gonna

roll some footage and just tell you about the trip as we go

I'm already removing the ice and snow off the steps my sister's coming later

yeah aren't she's very pregnant so we don't want her slipping slipping so

first afternoon there was pretty relaxed yes just chillin I'm totally chillin

yeah we kind of um we were all going at different speeds in the car and yeah we

were actually your dad and I were ahead yeah we ended up waiting for you guys

and then we kind of all came in a caravan and as soon as we arrived we

just were we were a little bit tired and we just unpacked there's a lot to bring

in we always bring probably like three weeks worth of food because we plan our

menus like we know what we need to bring and then we get there and it's just way

too much yeah it's a good folder so yeah we spent the

time on packing and then you remember it's in the middle of winter in February

so it gets dark early so we were starting a barbecue yeah like in the

afternoon I think so that was kind of day one all right we've got a welcome

barbecue for the cabin tonight hey we've got punished sausage yeah and we got

Humber Gers and we're good yeah we are cooking cooking for a lot of

people yeah we should go to the cabin we are cooking with gas fire BBQ me I like

to use charcoal or wood or wood but here we can't you know so we have a nice

amount of hamburgers we're gonna have some provolone cheese to melt on top and

yeah we're up north of Toronto about two and a half to three hours north we came

to spend four days rented a beautiful cabin in front of a lake yes it's like

10 15 minutes from Huntsville yeah beautiful yeah a beautiful sunset

the sky is like a pinkish red and we brought Pago todos having his best life

out here huh you waiting for the burgers you waiting for the burgers Toki oh yeah

that's the plan now we're gonna go inside when this is ready we're going to

uncork bottle wine or something of the sort and we're gonna have a beautiful

evening and family we came here you know to kind of get together with the family

everyone is so busy running we never get to see each other so third year in a row

we've done this we did one in also in the fall and yeah it's just a great way

everyone kind of fits time in their schedule and we come here for like four

days four nights sometimes the whole week and yeah it's just a great way to

spend time together yeah it's the only way to find out to steal a little bit of

time from modern days you know and have some time in family and get together

other than that you know you your life goes by and you don't do nothing you

should work work work and work on a treadmill it's amazing too you know

three hours from Toronto and you can be read out like in the typical Canadian

wilderness it's amazing that's one of the best things about this country two

or three hours outside the city and you're in no work middle nowhere for

here there's room for everyone you know

oh my god all right dinnertime inner time hamburger time thanks for

dinner you guys braved the cold how was it out

there what what my with the feels like temperature minus point something minus

25 Celsius all red is very cool yeah my hands are frozen it was when you're

barbecuing you cannot use glove because you don't feel the utensil mm-hmm how

cool was it out there oh my gosh freezing basically with windchill of

around minus 20 I'm stuck my hands are still thawing out their stuff throbbing

a little bit from the coal all four burgers all four burgers it was worth it

totally worth it so then the first evening we were just hanging out in the

living area I was trying to have a little photo shoot with Togo my furry

brother it wasn't going very well and then I captured a really sweet clip this

is something that you do on every canadian cottage every time but Sam likes to

sleep with the dog yeah like he'll cuddle with the dog and take a little

nap on the floor but they waiting for it is that you actually fall asleep near

the fireplace it's nice to warm yeah and the funny thing is that dog probably

gets of a triple the amount of exercise that normally has this is a dog that

gets walked a lot and it gets well taken care of but when we go to the cabins we

go out frequently it gets a job playing the snow yeah so by the time he comes

back into the house it's tired he's off he's exhausted and normally it's not a

big fan of someone curling up next to him but when he's tired enough yeah his

defenses are just low yeah he doesn't fight it he's cool he doesn't fight it

and one of the funny things looking back at the footage is just like that's

probably the biggest beard and hair I've ever had yeah four months of growth I

think I think you're getting close are easily eat your heart of water

yeah very funny because just looking back at that footage - so shocking money

who is that yeah I mean this one's just like probably less than two months but

that was yeah that was everyone was shocked by it like I've never even your

sister that was the Patagonia beer yeah yeah didn't bother getting my haircut on

there isn't any trip or shaving good picture of your back okay okay gentle

gentle and knowing that you do late for camera

what are we having we are having doing so that it just wears yes which are very

tasty they are from it's a perfect little bakery okay and my sister friends

makes them because I said yeah maybe it's like an enamel bar with dulce de

leche exactly it's like an Argentine twist on a Canadian dessert and how is

it delicious let's just as you can see yeah

everyone step it over Oh

don't loosen your knee for easily fit so in the second morning it was 35 below

with wind chill with wind chills classic Canadian winter morning out lots of snow

and so we went out with your dad and he was just demonstrating how to start a

car and those temperatures because there is a bit of a strategy to it yeah so the

battery doesn't die I think that's what you guys get running all the engines for

a bit okay people good morning here from the beautiful

land of lakes here in Ontario this morning as you're gonna see on the video

is - it feels like - what - when is 34 35

it shows - 29 but it feels like - 35 it's 8 o'clock in the morning beautiful

day not a cloud in the sky and we're going to start the cars these cars they

slept outside last night and we want to see if a Canadian car battery can take

the punishment and that we're going to start them

ready rest oh look at this guys this is the temperature right here showing the

real temp - 26 feels like - 35 and the cameras fogging up always having a day

you know he's so happy when it comes here into the to the wilderness the wild

wolf comes out of him you know yeah in the city he's like a city dog you know

but here in the wild like something comes out awakens into in him you know

so we're gonna go have a nice breakfast

all right breakfast is served what do we have we have a very Canadian

breakfast that's what we've got going on hash brown bacon bacon fried eggs scones

go on yeah applause to those who who did it because we didn't we didn't make it

yet today it's very cold outside so we went for something hearty and greasy

because I think we're gonna need it in order to go for like a little snowshoe

or a hike or something yeah you know when when you have temperatures like

these if you don't have a breakfast with a lot of calories like this and you feel

like you're weak yeah you know and so you have an idea how it is to deal with

a Canadian winter to think that happen right away this morning one my metal

frames from the glasses they they contracted with the call and I'll you

know one of my glances fell off number one good thing I had a second pair

number two when we went to close my daughter's car

door it won't he won't latch it's frozen so we opened it but now that we want to

close it it doesn't close there the mechanism is frozen so we got the car

running with the heat on that's what it is

what's going on that's what's going on Toby you looking handsome Toby so you're

looking good we're gonna have a your son-in-law you're not going on and have

a taste of a Canadian dressed oh hello ger

it's a full lager even have a picture of them who's on on the band's there yeah

when we go to the carnage we tend to make a lot of food from scratch like a

lot of recipes from scratch including in finals which are kind of like being

South American stuffed pastries exactly it's fun it's communal it gives us

something to do and are the important tasks along with your dad one the wine

yes didn't help much the kitchen is very unique stories well guys we are now

preparing our lunch today we are making empanadas at Danny's request because it

is favorite lot of food so yeah raise your hand if you like empanadas

yeah this is a very labor-intensive dish to prepare so you've got lots of hands

on deck hopefully Sam's gonna join too so then we've got five people yeah once

I put the camera down holding yeah we're making these ones with ground beef it

has onions peppers tomatoes we're also putting olives some egg and then we fold

them up and everyone has their own technique you can do something that's a

nice way of saying that we're not very good right anyway because I mean there's

only one filling today so we don't need to tell them apart yeah so whatever is

easiest I usually just like pinch it a little bit like this mm-hmm

that's what works best for me but yeah you can also use a fork or some people

like fold it over so let's see that lets see the final product strength in

numbers

today's wines today's wine the the people here they're finishing with the

empanadas they're already in the oven I think they should be coming out in

another 10-15 minutes and we're choosing Samuel and I we have the task of

choosing the wine this one here is very interesting because this is a wine from

the Republic of Georgia not Georgia and the United States Georgia the country

right over there by the Black Sea and what it caught my attention in this

label this is a really cool story whole story says that this is the wine that

Joseph Stalin served to Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill when

they had the conference in Yalta during the World War two they got together

these guys to decide you know how they were going to face the the Nazis

basically and you know help each other to fight against this threat you know I

hope that that what's inside the bottle is interesting as a story that's behind

it this one here's one funny it's another thing this one is called

nineteen crimes this is an Australian wine and also here is a 20-17

ishida but what it talks about here is how this Australia how this country was

built by these convicts and when the people were convicted of crimes in the

British Empire or at you know the British Isles

instead of being sentenced to death they were deported to Australia to be

populated and to build a new new society they're not you know I'm always talking

in the videos mostly in the Spanish videos when I read the labels behind a

wine bottle and they all say the same this one

tastes like plums it tastes like a very like hair chocolate or it has the smell

of leather I I'm not interested about that you know what I want is these type

of stories that are written back here like that one about Stalin and Churchill

Rose Bowl this one the panel called colonies over Australia

that's what gives it a little you know hurry right three and something what's

it all about Georgia ok the empanadas are ready is

empanada and wine o'clock yeah 240 245 245 in the afternoon your name so we've

been trying a couple wines the first one here is a Georgian and this one's a

beauty that color good that color it's good enough for heads of state back in

the day good enough for damn good enough for ass yeah Cheers so this one here is

made with the sap arrivee grape and it has a distinct sweetness to it but yeah

it's not like a dessert wine it's still something you could have with you know

with meats or poultry or something and how are the in Pinellas fresh out of

the oven piping hot right now really tasty mmm really juicy yeah they're
