Invermere is an amazing place. We were there a few weekends ago because it is quite close to the Fairmont Hot Springs where we were enjoying a complementary night on our friends who really came through on sweet wedding present.

Honestly, every shop I went in to was amazing. We had lunch at this pub on the lake. All the food was hand made and the burger passed my exacting standards with flying colors. The bakery had amazing sculpted food and this super duper good bread. Ivermere is also home to Kicking Horse Coffee and we really enjoyed their cafe. -Way cooler than starbucks and not as expensive. (Dear Kicking Horse, If you would like to open up shop in Calgary please pick my neighborhood.)

And there was a deli.

We bought a few kind of sausage. As per my German roots I rather like all manner of sausages. The peperoni was incredible.

Unfortunately, the buffalo-whiskey something-or-rather was not.

And that’s when I got the idea that if I cut up the sausage and dried it out it would make a pretty awesome treat for the dog: meat cookies! You can see them on the cookie tray. Boy does Jasper ever love them!

As far as treats go I imagine those were rather costly, but it makes me wonder if I could buy some cheap ‘just expired’ sausage and make more for the ol’ boy.
