Hoot.

Hoot.

I had my first golf tournament last weekend. We played a "best ball" game, basically we all drive, take the best drive, we all hit from there, take the best ball, etc. You had to use everyone's drive at least 4 times, alas...I suck. But we still won!

But Dinosaur Trail has the most difficult back 9 EVER! I'd like to see a course that was more challenging than this one. Actually, no I wouldn't. After I lost about 7 balls, I did get frustrated. We spent the night in Drumheller and our hotel had a waterslide! After lots of beers, Steve and I took a few trips down the slide. Then we went to a silly, bad rendition of an Irish pub. Silly small towns, I'm glad I don't live in 'em. But it was fun golfing with the dinosaurs.

Mmm..

So my latest food addiction dish...

Nat's Mega-Veggie Roast-o-rama

1 zucchini, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
some baby carrots, chopped
some mushrooms, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
and any other veggies lying about.

Marinate the above with a few tablespoons of salad dressing, (until coated) I use Greek Feta-something-er-other from Kraft, for at least one hour in the fridge. Bake at 350 for one hour stirring occasionally, or until cooked.

mmm.

I've discovered the wonder of zucchini. I love it! I even took it camping a few weekends ago and actually roasted it over the fire!

Summer's over..

..or at least it feels that way. They are predicting snow on Friday.

:(

The leaves are changing too.

Steve, Samina and I snuck in our last camping trip of the summer last weekend. We tried out the Tunnel Mountain Campground outside of Banff. It wasn't bad, there were even showers there! I am NOT an outdoors-woman, never said otherwise, so I like the showers. I think next year we'll look into getting some good sleeping bags...I'm talking -30 type kind. We had 5 blankets with us. It gets cold at night up there in the mountains.

We also had a fun time in Winnipeg a few weeks ago. Darryll and Angela got married, I ate too much, we tipped a pop-up camper, Adam and Heidi came to visit. It was a good time. Sometimes I wonder if we'll end up in Winnipeg. We're considering buying a house there as they are more than half less than what they are here. $100,000 will getcha something good, where as that might get you a trailer here.
