I put some pictures from my Montreal trip for the Summer Program in Aging on my website. I have so much to write about the trip but so little time to do it… but at least the pictures are up! I highly recommend looking at the Notre Dame Bascillica pictures, and the pictures from Mount Royal are also tres cool! (Get it? “Tres” cool? ;) )

I haven’t really been keeping up with my blog lately. My few loyal readers (Hi mom and dad, lol) probably don’t even check the site anymore. Every day I think of something I can write - how I saw my first raccoon and first skunk (unfortunately I smelled that too), and about the weather. I’ve been working insanely lately though… I work in the afternoon, get lunch, go back, work until 8pm or 9pm, have supper, and go back until midnight. Exhausting! By the time I get home I just go to bed. I haven’t even used my desktop computer in a week! Nuts!

Anyway, I’ll try to post more often. I know all blogs eventually come down to people saying that, but I will try. For now I’m going to post my pictures from my Quebec conference back in June. I may even go back and type some blog entries in retrospect if I have time.

Lionel has been wanting a new non-stick pan for some time now. We looked in many stores like The Bay, Zellers, Walmart, and Sears, but couldn’t really find anything good for less than $80. When we were in Costco on the weekend and we saw this great non-stick anodized aluminum set and couldn’t resist! It came with the following:

• 7.5L stockpot with stainless steel steamer and lid
• 0.94L saucepan and lid
• 1.8L saucepan and lid
• 2.8L saucepan and lid
• 5.2L saute pan with lid
• 25.4cm flared edge skillet (stockpot lid fits this)
• 31.7cm flared edge skillet (saute lid fits this)
• 26.6cm griddle

Well, I tell you, I have made the best omelets in the frying pan… they come off easily, don’t break, and have perfect, uniform golden surfaces. My crepes cook instantly with no spots, and not even left over oatmeal sticks on the pans. I feel more like I’m in a home rather than a cramped apartment with these things :D We kept our stainless steel set because you just need that for certain things, but we had to get rid of our Chinese dish sets to make room. We really don’t use them so we’ll try to sell them. The only thing is, they aren’t all that special here in Vancouver, LOL. They’re more like regular kitchen ware! Maybe someone on eBay will take ‘em
