Go West!

Recently my husband and I ventured out into Western Canada. We have been attempting to take this trip forever and this July we finally did it. We have friends and family in Alberta and British Columbia so it was a visiting vacation as well as a touristy one. We flew into Calgary and then drove to Vancouver, stopping in Banff, Kelowna, Victoria and Ucluelet along the way. It was an amazing trip and reminded me again of why I love Canada so much - of course we made sure to indulge in the local fare while in each different area.

Stink-ilicious!

Blue cheese is an acquired taste. I find that people either love it or they hate it. The makers of Stilton cheese (a very stinky blue cheese out of the UK) have decided to come up with a perfume. I'm not a perfume wearer, but I find this quite exciting.
