About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

hi there! not being canadian, what is a 'tuque'?
Take off, eh! A "tuque" (french) "toque" (english) is one of the most essential pieces of winter garb one could imagine! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuque Now I need to go fry up some back bacon and grab a “two-four”.
LOL! Okay, Dylon! I had no idea that "tuque" could be Anglisized! (sp?) I grew up in French Canada (well not that French, since it was in the West Island, 20 mins from Montreal). I grew up with it being "tuque"! LOL! Very cool, Dylon :)
Canine, a tuque is a knit cap that keeps head and ears warm in the winter months in Canada :) Worn by many young children who resist the tuque, but also by adults who don't mind the goofy look and rather stay warm! :) LOL!
PS. Dylon, you made me crack up with the back bacon and the two-four! Have you seen "Canadian Bacon" before? That was a funny movie.
Hey... FYI... White Lake is not very far from here. :)
LOL! Chris, my kids HATE wearing tuques. I know you said they're not cool, but hey, the kids need to keep their heads warm! Too funny!
Hi MsMama! Oh, I must have made a mistake. It's Wind Lake, WI and not White Lake. Is that still anywhere near you guys?
oh my goodness...got me thinking of what i need to survive winter and I really cannot remmeber the last time I wore "warm" boots...only boots i have are fun to look at and dont' keep feet warm...i would have to say a nice wooly scarf is my survival necessity..
thanks chrissy!
well, i learned a new word for "beanie hat"! i'm sure that term sounds quite lame to the canadians out there! sorry!
i loved the picture of the scowling kid with his tuque. today, it was 46 and that's pretty cold to me! spoiled we are here in san diego.
OMG! Canine, did you say 46 degrees??? Grrr...so jealous! LOL! We've got snow up here now, but it's not tooooo cold at the moment. Do you guys ever get a "White Christmas"? - like do you ever get any snow at all?
Dina, I had a feeling you were going to say a nice wooly scarf! You always have really nice scarves and mitts/gloves to go with you coat!
Alas, it only snows in the mountains during the winter. Since we live about 7 miles from the coast it never snows in our area. Today was actually nice, in the 60's. I've only seen real snow once, when we lived in Bremerton, WA, but it was slushy snow, not the "snowman building" snow.
Canine, we had quite a bit of snow (not too much), but it's starting to melt and get slushy. I have a feeling we'll get more though, since it's only the beginning of December!
I checked out your adobo recipe and it sounds AMAZING!! Can you come over and cook for me??? LOL!
