the quick fox...
spent the morning applying for a credit card i don't want (but which will probably be approved), buying peppermint cream chocolate and hand making sheets of silky pasta for my homemade lasagne. Honestly, there is something just so appealing about making your own pasta. it feels so delicate and smooth and malleable, unlike the rock hard cardboard sheets of the stuff you buy at the supermarket.
I think i am going to have to do a fair amount of reporting on the culinary journey i take whilst in America - i just can't help but constantly think about food (haha). After watching Food, Inc. i am preparing for the worst, but i will still valiantly sample any pumpkin pie or maple and bacon flapjacks heading my way and report to you on how i go.
I'm particularly looking forward to Halloween in America. After years of trudging up and down our street, recieving pitying looks, the odd melted tim-tam, or a $2 coin as "it's the only thing i have on me at the moment, you'll have to get the sweets yourself", i am rather looking forward to people who actually celebrate it.
I might even still be there for thanksgiving if i'm lucky (i couldn't tell you what it's all about mind you, not yet anyway - just giving thanks?).
What would be your favourite time to visit the USA? (maybe fall, or some celebration?) Where would you go?

Thanksgiving is a harvest festival. Giving thanks for a good harvest. Particularly important in the early days of settlement in America. Celebrated on the 4th Thursday in November (if Wikipedia is correct). The good news is that it is celebrated on the 2nd Monday of October in Canada and you should be there for that!
