I feel really supported this week, and it's pretty great. In the last month both sets of my future in-laws have come to visit and expressed their excitement at both the wedding and the business. So many friends have lent their help, advice and support. The blog is getting more readers than ever, and strangers have told us what a great idea we have. We like to think so too.
Look into Iceland, I promise you will fall in love with it. We hope to, on Canada Day this year, when we'll get married on one of the most interesting islands to exist. Let's hope the weather is good to us, but if it isn't, the comfort of some of the best views on the planet fireside will have to do. To think, that we get to go to this strange and wonderful place! There are geysers, volcanoes, whales, wild horses, glaciers, hot-springs...unreal. So I guess what I'm really saying is....
I havent talked about the wedding in a while, beacuse it was so up in the air for the longest time. We did what every engaged couple does and planned 5very different weddings before we gave up on all of them and realized what we, as a couple, wanted to do. As both of us had never been off the continent before, last year we decided to go to Europe. Like everyone, we fell in love. We went to Holland and Belgium and literally discovered a brand new world. We loved the food, the people, the (!!) architecture(!!), and the timelessness of it. It was this, that inspired us to go away for the wedding. Not to the Caribbean, or Mexico, or Italy or France, but to Iceland.

We are unavailable for bookings for the last two weeks of June, and the first two of July! We wont actually be gone that long (if only!), but any of you who have a planned a wedding before are fully aware of the time needed just before and after. Especially a wedding abroad.
In the meantime....and I know I said a bit about this last week...I've been taking most spare minutes to write menus. But since we're all getting to know each other here, you may as well know I can get excited and repetitive. And a little long winded. Get to the point.
You all know that I love food and cooking but I've got to say, sitting at home and trying to write something cohesive is much, much harder than just going to the market and seeing what inspires you to cook. Now, I have to go back through a mental catalogue of things and actually think about whats in season, what went well with what...etc. Don't get me wrong though, the more I do it, the easier it becomes. When something stops being hard, it starts getting really fun. I found myself last night writing a menu out for no good reason. So, in case anyone wants a fully vegetarian, fully Mediterranean menu....I've got that all ready for ya.
I've got one or two more to finish off and then I'll post them here, and on the website shortly.
P.S- In my ongoing, painfully embarrassing struggle to become Master (I was going to coin Mastress, but Urban Dictionary has some interesting things to say about that) of the Interwebs I must announce small victories. I put a picture in my blog. :) Of Iceland, in case you were wondering about that bit.
P.P.S- In the painfully embarrassing vein, I must also admit that I tried for two pictures. Sigh.
