  • In this video, we make the most of the day that was ruined by the blizzard in our previous video. Since we had to reorganize our plans, we headed into Fairbanks to see the famous Ice Art Championship. This was an event we had been eager to see, and it did not disappoint! After the event, we headed to a cabin we had rented for the weekend to warm up and eat a nice meal. We ended the night by heading back into town to see the ice sculptures lit up, and they were breathtaking! Although this day didn't go as planned, it is surely one we will never forget.

    Hi, we are Matt and Emily, and welcome to A Glimpse of Alaska! In September 2022, we made the 5,000 mile drive from our home in Florida to our new home: Alaska. We created this channel to document and share our adventures in this awe-inspiring state. We will be homesteading, truck camping, hunting, fishing, foraging, and doing everything else Alaska has to offer. We hope you follow along and enjoy!

    When the "best laid plans" don't work out you just find another way. That's another life lesson you two have figured out already. Those ice sculptures are fantastic! Thank you for showing them and I'm glad you had fun. I hope the dry cabin was as comfortable as it looks.

    Watching you two at the ice park with wide-eyed amazement and joy on your faces/in your voices was so very refreshing. I've seen other UA-camrs visit there before, but I think for them, the wonder has worn off. It was a real treat to watch you both experience it and knock it off your AK bucket list! 😊

    Morning, My favorite ice sculpture was the Hershey kiss and tulips. The artist are extremely talented. We have a similar ice sculpture event in our area but some years they have melted during the event time because of the unexpected warm temps. Sad for the artist. I was happy to see you 3 back at the cabin and warm. Thank you for another adventure . Be safe stay warm ,happy Sunday :)

    • @AGlimpseOfAlaska
      @AGlimpseOfAlaska  4 місяці тому

      Hopefully you caught what the Hershey kiss said on top haha. Though sad, not too surprised to hear about the warm temps in your area during the ice sculpture event. The week after we left Fairbanks (the coldest city in the US) the temps were in the 40s and a lot of it probably melted. The cabin was quite the experience and it opened our eyes to the challenges of living off grid somewhere that gets to -40, -50, and colder. Happy Sunday! 😊

    Pizza looked great, just a quick tip for pizza crust to make sure it cooks through. Poke fork holes over flatted dough and pre-bake 8 minutes then remove from oven to add the toppings. Bake another 10 minutes and it will be good to go. Thanks for sharing.

    • @AGlimpseOfAlaska
      @AGlimpseOfAlaska  4 місяці тому

      We’ve made pizza since then and the poking holes definitely helped. Thanks for the advice! 😊

    Pizza dough is usually hand stretched, so forgetting the rolling pin was a win! I love homemade pizza! Stretching the dough in the cold was a challenge but you’re did well. Next time stretch the dough a bit thinner, less sauce and smaller chucks or thinner slices of cheese. Great effort for your first ever!

The next day I got some and it was so good. I now love Kung Poa chicken and Thai Pan chicken. I am so broadening my horizons😂

    I wonder if you had prebaked your pizza crust before adding on your toppings, then just popping it all in the oven to finish off might have made for a fully cooked crust.

    Mark 2:9-12
    King James Version
    9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
    10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
    11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
    12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. Gods blessings are over you .
