I'm baack!!!!

Well, I'm back at home (although the kids don't come back until tomorrow). I had a wonderful time packing my sister in law's basement and seeing some old friends. I got to impress (not!) my dutch friend by attempting to read a book written in dutch. Needless to say my accent needs a little work! I had some amazing food while I was in Canmore. Anne took me to a restaurant called Crazy Weeds. I had a 12oz rib eye steak that was chili crusted with mushroom salsa and truffle butter. Yum!!! It was fantastic! Anne made a lamb roast my first night in town, Lee made bacon sandwiches one night, and Tara made pecan crusted salmon. I also had a turn at cooking and made my Mom's famous Apple Sauce Chicken with brown basmati rice and asparagus. I'm sure I've gained 15 pounds but it was well worth it. On the up side, I found a new bag of chips to love. They're from a company called RiceWorks and they are sea salt brown rice chips. They are wheat and gluten free, no additives, no fake flavour, organic and yummy!! Really good dipped in humus.

Today John took me to a local vietnamese restaurant. The meal was great and we had a fantastic time together. John saw a red bottle on the table and said, "they must have some american things on their menu because that looks like ketchup to me." Now of course, I would have to try the contents in the bottle to confirm this, wouldn't I. It was NOT ketchup!! That was HOT chili sauce! John was rather concerned when he saw my panicked face as I tried to reach for water, then he turned red and started laughing! Eventually I was able to laugh too, but it took a tub of water and two cans of coke to get to that point.

Anyway, I'm off to have a relaxing night with my love before I have to go get the kids tomorrow. Have a wonderful night everyone!
