So I Splurged

This morning, I headed to Kristen's apartment for some cinnamon rolls and Sunset Boulevard. We were not able to finish the movie because our crew call was moved up to 1:30, so we headed out without resolution! It confirmed the need to educate myself more on film this summer.

When we arrived at the venue, we realized that not many of the crew had gotten the memo, so after talking with the Assistant Director a bit about her history in the business (which was really interesting!), we headed off to a farmer's market. There, we ate some maple taffy - the oldest candy in Canada! The farmer's market itself was pretty disappointing, with only about 5 tables set up, but it was just a 10-minute walk and the taffy was totally worth it!

I'm back to experimenting with food again (I thought I left that side of me at Asbury). Today, I tried cup of noodles with coke instead of water. Don't worry, I didn't add the seasoning packet. It was not totally gross, actually. I'll never make it again, but at least my curiosity is satisfied.

Fax check was quick, and we broke for dinner.

Remember the infamous banana crepe? When we ate there, I saw that they offered crepes for lunch and dinner on their menu! Kristen and I noticed some particularly delicious-sounding crepes, and made plans to come back to try them!

Today was the day.

We each got one, and then split them - portabello mushroom with pesto cream sauce in one, and seafood and cream sauce in the other. I have to admit, it was some of the best food I have ever eaten! I am definitely going to try to cook something like this for myself the next time I'm in a stocked kitchen.

Tonight was a great night at the Medals Plaza. We covered 8 medals - 4 at BC place, and 4 here (one of which included Bodie Miller - a face I've seen on the podium before, so congratulations!) The majority of the audience was American, which is a change. There were also the Germans, of course, some Swiss, Croatians, and other nations. NBC took the footage of the medals tonight, so there is a slight chance that you all could see me. The concert after the medals ceremonies was One Republic - one of my favorite groups! I really enjoyed listening to songs that I could sing along to - most of the other bands I have not heard of yet.

Tomorrow is another early call time... 12:30pm :) It's going to be interesting trying to get back on East Coast time with early mornings. I shoot my film 1 week from Friday. Freaky.
