and I'm off.... to Scotland that is..

Well, I am off to Scotland tomorrow morning, for a week's worth of wandering and sightseeing. Not only will I revel in a new accent and be on the lookout for random kilt wearers, I am also thrilled that I will be meeting the lovely Melissa. It is not only my first "cyber meeting", but hers as well. And mom, don't worry. I'm pretty sure she's not a crazy old man whose been disguising himself as a young and talented female food blogger waiting for months for an unsuspecting person like myself to make her way to Edinburgh.
And I am deliriously excited about being able to browse through an english language bookstore for the first time in many months. Cookbooks! Fiction! Non-Fiction! Magazines! Oh my. I'm taking 2 novels with me, but there will definitely be room in my suitcase for many more. And tonight, while I pack and do laundry, another viewing of the original Sabrina, so I can lament with Audrey Hepburn about how much I hate girls who giggle all the time too. No, I don't really, but if you watch, or have watched the movie you will feel for her on this one.

In the meantime, Canada Day is fast approaching, and there is a wonderful event that has been organized to give the blogging world an idea of what Canada tastes like. And no, you can't find out by licking a map. But you can read about it by clicking on the Taste Canada icon on my sidebar.

While I'm away I will be posting my Canadian creation for the Taste Canada event, since it's all ready in draft mode and just waiting for me to hit Publish when the time is right.

So stay tuned! I will be away for a week but I won't be without computer access. Sad I know, even on vacation. But my parents couldn't survive a day without an email from me. It's all about being a good daughter, you see. Or maybe it's because I don't think I could miss a daily dose of Crazy Aunt Purl.
