Pumking Ale

It was windy and rainy yesterday. But apparently it was snowing in Calgary out west. So unless you're a skier, rain's better for now. There was a nice photo of Prince William and his new fiancee Kate on the front pages of the newspaper, it made me smile. It's nice to have good news for a change.


Our regular fitness instructor is on vacation, so we had this other instructor, who also has a great sense of humour. She'll say things like 'kick back with your heels, you should have bruises on your bottom if you're doing this right!'


I met some friends for lunch after my exercise. One is visiting from Florida. We ate at a Mediterranean restaurant. I had falafel (chick pea patties) in a pita which came with a delicious lentil soup. Everyone else had Greek salads with their soups. Oh, I think one of the ladies had a tabouleh salad.





I found another neat gift idea or hostess gift called Pumking Ale, as per the following article:

Pumpkin pie, bottled

I love Mediterranean food. It's always so fresh and flavourful. And of course, I love falafel :-)

That pumpkin ale sounds interesting. I wonder if it is sweet.

Prince William's engagement is so exciting! Can't wait to see her dress and all the details.
The pumpkin ale sounds kind of good : )

I remember having falafel in Egypt on little wax paper plates. It was very delicious. Pumpkin ale? Hmmmm... It'd certainly be interesting for Thanksgiving.

regarding the pumpkin ale everyone, I don't really drink, let alone ale, but it sounds worth a try. I'll let you know if I do.

As for Prince William and Kate - I just wonder why he had to give her his mother's engagement ring. Not sure that was so wise but they both look like a great young couple and I am sure after being together for so long they are in a good place to take the next step unlike his parents were. Let's hope the media leave them alone now.
