or we can shop some farmer markets for fresh herbs...or plants....

reminds me when I went through my father's house yesterday with the real estate guy, he checked out the basement. Ii was much improved after the "DECLUTTER" truck guys had carted off a bunch of stuff - not all of it my nieces. There was old lumber left of my father's (he died in '07) and planting starting pots and materials on several shelves back in corner that was also cleaned out that had been build by my father for my step mother to start her spring garden plants in. Well, Galen, noticed all the electrical switchs this time and asked what they were for. I told him I thought they were for all the florescence light that my dad had put in for the grow light above small shelves to start the tiny plants. Some of the lights were missing but sure enough a couple lights came on. I saw a glimmer of a smile come across his face. A new angle on the property....90 yr old has small plant growing facility in basement. He attends her church which is in one of the very rich areas of Cincinnati.... He said, "She always has been feisty!" "I am sure it was only for medical purposes." :D

I say go for it. The worst that could happen is they confiscate the plants. By that time, you all would have met up and you would have been cooking for everybody so the plants would be almost gone anyway. (How's that for a fun on sentence? :D ) Linda

Stick those plants in the refrigerator and tell them they are food!!! Don't think there will be a problem, since we will all be bringing fresh food across.

If you want to try something special when you go into Canada, stop at a grocery store and buy the real "Canadian Bacon" which is known as "pea meal back bacon" in Canada. It is a pickled, non-cooked very lean pork loin which only vaguely looks like what we call Canadian bacon and does not taste at all like that ham product.

You fry it in some butter and eat it on bread as a sandwich, or with eggs and hash brown potatoes--YUM!

I envy you all going to Alaska.

Can't believe I'm going to be missing Mitch's cooking as well as such a wonderful trip.
I vote for another flower pot with some dill; maybe you can catch some salmon to go with it.
