Sheree's favorite Christmas cookie

 
As a child, my favorite Christmas treat was Mom's chocolate balls.  She made them ahead of time and froze them until company was coming.  My sister and brothers and I would then sneak into the freezer and help ourselves.  Thankfully, Mom pretended not to notice the half empty tins!  And don't be horrified, I know some of you have done the same thing!

To make:  in a double boiler melt 2 squares unsweetened chocolate.  Add 1 can Eagle Brand condensed milk, 2 1/3 cups graham crumbs and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.  Keeping fingers a bit wet, pinch off a bit of dough, wrap it around a glace cherry, then roll it in icing sugar.  There is enough dough for a 14 ounce container of cherries.  Merry Christmas!!   

Meet guide Bill Luney

 
guide Bill LuneyFor the 2012 season, Bill Luney will be joining our guiding staff full time;  he may be familiar to some of you as he has guided at Duck Bay on a part time basis for years. 

Bill was born in Sioux Lookout, Ontario, but since his dad worked for the railway, the family moved around a fair amount during his childhood.  Despite this, Bill always returned to the family cabin on Lake of the Woods for the summer, where he learned his fishing, hunting and trapping skills.

Bill has worked as a professional guide on Lake of the Woods for over 30 years.  He is engaged and planning to get married next summer.  You are sure to enjoy spending time with him on the lake for his vast knowledge, as well as his dry wit and sense of humor.
