More sporks

While answering the comment to the previous post I went on the "Light my fire" website and ..... oh, no, there are more pretty sporks there!!! The sporks hunt is not over, after all.

On the bright side, the kit of 4 is now available at the "Canadian Tire" - impressive!!!!

SPORKS!!!

The first place I visited in Redmond, WA was .......... those of you who said Microsoft can stop reading my blog and cross me out from your friends list (unless you are Jaihoon) ;)

no, the first place I visited was the REI store!!!! I saw it when we were driving home and I was ecstatic, yelling to Jaihoon: "oh, my G-d, you have REI store, oh my G-d!!!!" And so the next day, the very very patient Goli and me went to explore all the wonders of the place.

We spend about 2 hours inside, me blah-blahing about all the stuff they have, scaring the sale-person who assumed we would by "one of everything", trying stuff on, debating whether to by half-the-store and ask them to ship it to Montreal..... well, you got the picture, right? And for those of you who is still curious about what I ended up getting ..... drum roll.......

Here are finally, long-waited-for, wonderful, colorful, light, and magnificent
Light my fire sporks!!!!!!!!!


Aren't they pretty??? ;)

Preview, fondue, gifts, and a squirrel.

I am working on the continuation of the saga “Down the Richelieu River”. More pictures and stories are coming up soon.
I am also working on the camping-food specific posts: what to eat, how to cook, as well as the recipes and links to the camping sites.
Speaking of the links, I will eventually post links to recipe web-sites, cooking blogs, and anything interesting food and camping related.

I got 2 big gifts recently: my new Arc'teryx AR Theta shell, in Mocha (like we say in mother Russia “the idiot’s dream came true”). Thank you Madina and Pasha!




And I got a digital camera (thank you daddy – man I sound like an “Oscar” star ;) ). Now that taking pictures is easy I just need an Internet connection at home to post 24/7.

Here are the pictures of the fondue we enjoyed this weekend. The recipe comes from the “The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook” – a must have for those vegans who miss the cheesy days. I tried the “South of the Border” one and it was excellent.

And it turns out we were not the only ones enjoying good food ….

Equipment

The food-related post or two are coming up tomorrow. Meanwhile, here are new "toys"



"Komperdell" Antishock Fire Trekking Poles - a "not a gift" birthday gift from Eric





"Max-mtn" mat - a gift to myself (?)






Getting ready for winter!!!
