Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians. I went to a family dinner yesterday that was full of Thanksgiving goodies - including my homemade cranberry sauce.

A highlight of my Thanksgiving weekend has to be getting to see Iron Chef America: Battle Cranberry, featuring Giada de Laurentiis and Rachael Ray. There are a number of clips from the episode on YouTube. All sorts of sweet and savoury cranberry dishes.

Mispec River

A friend and I went on a pretty cool hike today that involved crossing the Mispec River with our shoes off and pant cuffs rolled up to our knees. Below a few photos along the river and of my damp, post-crossing feet.

I'm a PC just like BG

I love the new Microsoft ads. The commercials play off of the Mac ads that paint PCs a dull, by introducing PC users as hip, including Pharrell Williams, astronauts, architects, designers and others. The ad campaign website is at http://imapc.lifewithoutwalls.com/ with the commercials posted at http://imapc.lifewithoutwalls.com/watch/

Save.ca

I'm trying to be frugal of late - bad economic times and all. In my adventures in saving I have started visiting Save.ca. The technology allows you to browse for product coupons that are sent to you by mail. I like the coupons and am likely to continue using the service, but it seems like a half-step to me, to have an online resource that sends hard copy coupons when downloadable and printable versions would be cheaper for the companies involved.
