Death by Thai..

Oh my gosh.. food.. more food.. and on the side a bit more food.

Tonight, Glenn, Kenn, Jenn (yes most of my friend's have rhyming names), Lisa, Kerri, and my cousin Stacy came over for the official "Thai Send-off". Keeping with tradition, dessert is served first, and holding true to her capability, Jenn wowed us again with her dessert. Crepes, Nutella, banana.. do you need to eat anything else? With Kenn licking the knifes, and nutella being spread on banana's in the end.. you know it was good..

Apparently, "cooking for 8" means cooking for an army and with awkward hiccups ** and laughing of super spicy food.. I think we managed to truly recreate an authentic thai supper.. with the addition of Stacy's #10 to seal the deal :)

This weekend has been great, as it has been full of time with some of my closest friends. Chatting, laughing at the awkward hiccups, and just truly enjoying the people in my life (and apparently enjoying a lot of great food!!).

I woke up last night at 3 am.. super excited.. as in less than a week.. I will be on the other side of the world.. CAN'T WAIT!!!

One Week To Go!!!

It's ALMOST TIME!!!

Well, here I am.. one week to go. I am sitting here at work wishing it was tomorrow, not a week from today, but yet know what is around the corner is meant to be. I have the books all lined up, and have started researching a bit on where I am going.. comments come off the pages that ring so different to me.. I can't wait!.. try the Peking Duck... the landscape is like no other.. sometime the pollution is so thick you can move it in front of you.. "WHAT!".. if anything, this trip may help me to appreciate Canada more.. and the great glorious blue sky we get almost every day!

To prepare appropriately..we are having a Thai Potluck before I venture out. It will be fun to try and attempt to create the dishes I will soon experience.. good friends, good wine (maybe the Seduction wine will come out again, hey Jenn?), but overall I am excited to leave. Time has stood still these last few months and I feel stagnant. Getting back to what I love, I feel will bring me back to who I am...

I am not sure of what access I will have while away, but please check here as a means to keep in the LOOP!
