Camping and tubing

Jenn and I are going camping at Elora Gorge this weekend with a few of her friends. We are looking forward to the maiden voyages of our tent, camp stove and solar lantern. Plus the weather is supposed to be great. Elora Gorge is about 45 minutes North of us. As the name suggests there is a fairly large gorge with some mild rapids below. The best part is that you can rent tubes for the day to ride “the rapids” and a shuttle picks you up to take you back to the headwaters afterward.

Last weekend I attempted to make a soufflé for the first time but to turn a phrase, “it fell flat”. It was a crab soufflé. I accidently got a little yolk in with the egg whites so they did not stiffen properly despite my beating the heck out of them. It still tasted alright but it never rose the way a soufflé should. However I am undeterred and plan on making a chocolate soufflé next weekend. My potato latkes on the other hand turned out sublime. They were sooo delicious with syrup.

There is busker festival going on in Waterloo today and I was thinking that I might leave early today to see what there is to see.
