Last weekend I was in Vancouver watching Jon compete in the triathlon World Championships. The weather was so foul on the day of the race that they cancelled the swimming portion (after the women, elderly and handicapped got hypothermia) so in reality a 'triathlon' it wasn't. Still, it was fun to catch up with old friends and wander around Vancouver.
I discovered that Vancouver has a branch of my favorite bakery from Australia, Baker's Delight. Although in Canada it is called Cobb's. I bought two loaves of the Cape Seed Bread which I ate almost every day while in Melbourne. Apparently Seattle has some of these bakeries as well. I can only hope they will make their way down to Portland. The boys tasted the bread and sort of curled their lips at it, declaring it 'too seedy' and 'having too much stuff in it.' While the girls liked the idea of having seeds and stuff in their bread. It must be a guy thing. Except Trevor liked it as well...
Going with the 'commonwealth' link theory, I made the mistake of buying 16 cans of Heinz 'original' beans in tomato sauce, assuming the taste would be the same as the 'orginals' in the blue can I have bought in the UK and Australia. Unfortunately, Canada seems to be doing something quite different with their beans in tomato sauce as they taste nothing like their UK counterpart. I should have guessed by the labelling which is not the same. So now I have 16 cans of not very good beans sitting in my kitchen. Maybe I will give them away as presents...
