I'm in Canada and it's beautiful. This is rather surprising to me. I like to make fun of Canada--it's such an odd country: American...but not and with some French thrown in.
The American Theological Library Association meeting is in Ottawa this year and I am excited to see the Houses of Parliament. Really. I've only seen them from a distance but they look totally amazing.
The conference is pretty good. The director of University of Ottawa Libraries gave the plenary this morning. The US could learn a lot from the cross provincial projects the libraries up here conduct. Not only does Canada have national healthcare, they also invest in their libraries. It took me awhile to identify the emotion I was feeling the speech, but now I realize it's jealousy.
Blame Canada!!!!

Good Products (A New Occasional Series)
IKEA 365+ Food Saver
One of the worst things about living alone is that it's almost impossible to eat all the food you buy. I buy tiny quarts of milk and don't finish them. Little jars of spaghetti sauce get mold spores. Unless you eat toast every day for a month, it's difficult to finish a loaf of bread.
I freeze things but lots of food ends up with freezer burn because it's been packed away too long.
Lettuce is a killer. Eating an entire head of lettuce is almost impossible. Salads everyday is too much to ask of anyone.
About a year ago I bought an Ikea food saver. Some show on HGTV discussed Tupperware food savers but Tupperware is often difficult to find and expensive. Finding a way to keep lettuce fresh for weeks, however, was worth any effort. Ikea to the rescue.
My $10 Ikea 365+ Food Saver keeps lettuce fresh for up to a month. It is truly amazing. Lettuce stays crispy and green. No more wasting money on lettuce that I can't finish.
