Good Times in Manitoba, Eh?



So we've been in Manitoba for several days now.  Our activities so far have included a road trip to Winnipeg, a baseball game, long sunset strolls on the beach of lake Minnewasta, the construction and firing off of a vinegar fueled rocket, and cooking and consuming of lots of good food.

Without further ado...

Approximately one and one half hours of cooking plus some Egyptian expertise in the kitchen equals kushary, an Egyptian staple.  Layers of lentils, rice, macaroni, a tomato sauce and fried onions.  Delicious.  Tomorrow we're making kufta. Woohoo!

Preparing to launch our rocket at the park...constructed of a plastic bottle and some balsa wood fins and fueled by vinegar and baking soda.
3...2...1...
MISFIRE! 
(We did get a couple good flights out of it, I promise)
Hangin' with the family.
This post brought to you compliments of the internet and coffee of:
This coffee shop has it all: Good coffee, ice cream, pastries, hot food, free wireless internet, the NBA playoffs on the bigscreen LCD, comfy furniture, and a hot tub.  I love Canada!

I don't think you understand the awesomeness of this place. There was a hot tub in the coffee shop!

WOW! A hot tub!! But is the coffee as good as Starbucks?

I'm trying to get a picture of a hot tub in a coffee shop. Can you imagine that here in Edmond America say for instance at your Starbucks?

The coffee is good, but not quite Starbucks. And no, I couldn't see it in Edmond. Haha
