I hope Zach isn't paying close attention to your blog though since he will be disappointed if he goes looking for the new Harry Potter at your place.

I love the Tate building itself and hope to get back there some day -- a long way from island life.materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-87633239910225373882007-08-05T13:20:00.000-07:002007-08-05T13:20:00.000-07:00Here's the link to the Tate Modern exhibit if anyo...Here's the link to the Tate Modern exhibit if anyone's interested. http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/globalcities/default.shtmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-63672173021973767962007-08-05T13:16:00.000-07:002007-08-05T13:16:00.000-07:00Island life looks fabulous.

Then I'll have to remember which friends like lamb and invite them over. I love lamb, but it seems that there are many people who just don't like it. I should really have a little black book of which friends eat what. I went to make a pasta salad the other night, and my friend we were having over for the BBQ phoned from Thrifty's to see if I needed anything. When I asked if she could pick me up some sliced black olives I could hear the quiet in her voice that they were just something she could live without. Thus, I switched up the recipe and made a very simple salad that everyone raved about. (I guess olives wouldn't fit into the 100 mile diet - do they grow on the island at all?)<BR/><BR/>On the topic of the 100 mile diet, we saw a fabulous exhibit at the Tate Modern on sustainable cities. It's great to see that people all over the world are trying to reduce their footprint. In France it seems that everything is local and it so it seems to be easier to by local there. Even Thrifty's yesterday had peaches from the US. I'll take an Okanagan peach anyday (I guess that's more than 100 miles) but tell me where I can buy it!<BR/><BR/>Love the cardigans. The colours are fabulous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
