Even some of the same ingredients made it onto my list, and for the same reasons. <br /><br />I realised I was truly becoming Canadian when I returned to Africa for a 6-week trip last year and took maple syrup back with me, but then didn't pack my usual goodies from "home" on the return journey to Alberta. (My sister more than made up for any space I saved in my suitcase, though, by weighing me down with gifts!) <br /><br />Welcome home, eh?EMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963740880103058021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221949023932031675.post-36548232531616826762011-03-11T12:51:16.402+01:002011-03-11T12:51:16.402+01:00hey there!

I had to laugh when I saw the compulsory "this is what I brought back in my suitcase from the motherland" photo. I must have about 6 or 7 like that in my blog archives. That can of yellow and brown baking soda? Check. I have the exact one on my pantry shelf. Maple syrup? Check. Any self respecting Canadian has that, no matter where we live. Chocolate chips? Sadly, no. I ran out and have to wait til the next trip back to Ontario to stock up on Nestle and Tollhouse goodness.<br /><br />Hopefully see you in Annecy one day soon ;)Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136483568967161966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221949023932031675.post-44331900070129052492011-03-06T22:16:22.626+01:002011-03-06T22:16:22.626+01:00Your blog version of the suitcase game would be ea...Your blog version of the suitcase game would be easier for me if you listed the things in alphabetical order to start with. The photo was very colorful and well organized, I thought. Perhaps a career in ad photography is in your future?Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221949023932031675.post-64919988012203571402011-03-06T18:39:27.270+01:002011-03-06T18:39:27.270+01:00Well done, Erin!

Still, it's strange, especially because they were the reasons my suitcase was just a teeny bit too heavy - ok, a few kilos too heavy - at check-in!} <br /><br />Yes, the girl time in Victoria and Kits was fabulous. But when we finally sit in my kitchen en France, drink tea & nibble on something delicious? That will be beyond great.<br /><br />XOXO!Emily {Rue de France}https://www.blogger.com/profile/07777310329209406400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221949023932031675.post-38624796033492077622011-03-06T06:18:03.811+01:002011-03-06T06:18:03.811+01:00Okay, here goes!
Peanut butter {which you didn'...Okay, here goes!<br />Peanut butter {which you didn't mention but I noticed right away because I brought you two jars that summer I came to visit!}, molasses, cinnamon, canned pumpkin, chocolate chips, Red Rose tea and Earl Grey tea {for making London Fogs}, baking powder, echinacea, acetaminophen, maple syrup and another kind {raspberry? blueberry?} and Craisins {which you also didn't mention but YUM... I love Craisins}<br /><br />How did I do? I'm usually pretty good at games like that.<br /><br />Wow, that was one full suitcase! Wish I could come by to drink tea and bake gingersnaps with you. Someday... In the meantime, I just so glad for all that girl time we did manage to get! That mousse you made was delicious, by the way. <br /><br />Tu me manques.<br />xoxoErin {pughs' news}https://www.blogger.com/profile/03261798020134673516noreply@blogger.com
