All I want to do now is watch montages.
I love every line in that posting :)
That gave me goosebumps.
Soo wish I went to the Olympics like I had originally planned!
Loove the pictures too.
BTW, reading all your stuff is making me hungry!
There are two things I love to do….Bake and Eat.
I will definitely be trying some of your listed resto’s!!
Have you been to all of them?
Your post on Tutti Matti makes me want to go now :)
Will be visiting often :D
Janey – I’ve seen pictures of your cakes. Talented, and so very creative! And I’m sure, incredibly yummy as well.
re: the list
Not yet, but one day. A labour of love we’ll call it ;)
Nice… sounds like you had a good time. That was one heck of a crazy 2 week stint… Vancouver is back to normal now- being the sleepy little city that it is!
