Amelia, let me know if you do come up! I live in Victoria, on the south end of Vancouver Island. I would love to have you, your mom and your grandma over for tea (which is a very Victoria thing to do). (:

Yet another funny video! I watched this with my boyfriend, and it cracked us both up. Of course you start the morning with oysters and champagne!

Let me tell you how many oysters I shucked at culinary school - and it gets easier. And a little faster. But it was tough going. In fact, pretty much every other type of cooking was easier (here, I wrote about it, if you are interested: Culinary School: The Cookbook http://amzn.to/r63N4N ). But keep at it. Oysters are worth it!

What a release!

Amelia, I could hardly believe my ears when you said "Fanny Bay"!

Fanny Bay is on Vancouver Island, where I live. It's the tiniest little town on the east coast of the island -- I don't know if it even has a store. But I do know it has an inn. I know this because whenever we drove through Fanny Bay on the way to my grandparents' house, my dad would say, "It's the FBI!" Get it? Fanny Bay Inn! Somehow, I still find this hilarious.

By the way, you're right, Vancouver is a beautiful city. But if you want to see something really beautiful, come to Vancouver Island!

Ameelz! You totally look hot in this vid. Also, the Bald Head champagne-wear cracked me up. I mean, of course you use the wedding flutes, right? Or do you have like 8 pairs of flutes in your home? Like me.

Keep it up! Love the Matt cameo - wordless and so present!
