Every time I see or hear "Halifax" I think of Anne of Green Gables. I have secretly wanted to visit Nova Scotia since I was a kid. and mayonnaise? No thank you!

Have a great day!

Um, excuse me, where's the RECIPE??? sheesh!

I'm thinking of doing this post myself...are you supposed to try to answer with one word? Or is that a different one?

I thought of you at our Renaissance Festival this weekend; saw some hand-woven skeins, but didn't get a chance to check 'em out.
