New Beginning...

I got the feeling you were a little curious about how we are settling in, and what it’s like to leave home - in a big way, and move to a whole new country.  So, I thought I would give blogging a try again, at least for a bit, to let you all know what's going on and keep you updated about life, family, things. Maybe, you'll enjoy a peek at Canada. Maybe you'll find this boring as hell - my life is pretty low-key. We'll have to decide that later on. Let's take this a day at a time, okay?

Above is a picture I borrowed of downtown Aurora, the old part of town that I think is very charming. It was taken for the Doors Open event last summer. I’ve been to a few of the places in this picture – Aw, Shucks! restaurant for one, and I’ve had a breakfast sandwich (with peameal bacon) from Gabriel’s Cafe at the town farmers market one summer. It was delicious!

In case you're wondering, from food network Canada: "peameal bacon is wet-cured pork loin from the back of the hog that has been trimmed of fat and rolled in cornmeal, creating a yellow crust. The brining process makes it nearly impossible to overcook, and it’s both leaner and juicer and than regular bacon. A uniquely Canadian product, it’s often confused with Canadian bacon, a smoked back bacon that’s popular in the U.S. ... These days, it’s hard to find peameal bacon outside of Canada, making it a favourite with tourists at Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market."  I've also been to St. Lawrence Market, and if you're interested I can write a post about it eventually.

There will be more to come, this is just a warm up post. So, if you have questions or comments, I hope I hear from you.


Talk soon,

Jennifer
