The Best 24 food hours of my life (thus far) – Part 1
Oh my, I have fallen behind, haven’t I? I ditched the rest of the Okanagan Food and Wine Writers’ group, who are heading for an interactive wine blending session at Laughing Stock Vineyards, so I could get you all up to speed. If you’d care to indulge me a bit, I’ll sum up the past 64 hours or so – I still have photos to upload from our last day in Vegas, where we went to Hash House A-Go-Go! Yes we did! And I can’t wait to tell you about it!
The week has gone roughly as follows: Monday I disconnected at 11am to check out of our hotel in Vegas. Our flight wasn’t until late that night, so we cabbed it off the strip to Hash House A-Go-Go, then to the outlet mall (again, no sign of recession there), and between customs and the cab home, then kissing W approximately a hundred thousand times, I didn’t crawl into bed until after 2am, at which point I promptly got insomnia.
Tuesday morning I was thrust back into the thick of it early – phone calls, emails, the accountant (did I tell you I’m being audited?), and then I left for Red Deer at noon to teach a class on cooking for kids with allergies to a group of day care cooks. Arrived home again at 8pm and read W stories before unpacking, doing laundry, repacking and doing a ton of prep for BT on Wednesday morning, which took until almost midnight. I did BT (cooking with rice) on Wednesday morning, then ran home to tape some segments for Good Bite, and left for the Okanagan at noon. We arrived at about 8pm local time (construction and a motorcycle accident that closed a chunk of the highway slowed us down quite a bit), having spent most of the drive filling out stacks of legal-sized documents for my accountant (they want to know how much I spent on everything in 2003 – food, cel phone, shoes-who remembers this?) – we arrived at the Delta around 8pm, an hour and a half after dinner started, so I peeled off my disgusting car clothes, put on what I had that was the least wrinkled, and ran over to RauDZ, where I arrived just in time for the entrees. (Even though I was late, they managed to bring mine along with everyone else’s.)
