Janine's 2005 US Trip- Camp Calcium!

From June 18, 2005 until August 6th, 2005 West Australian Janine Wright will be visiting Purdue University, Indiana, USA to participate in Camp Calcium- a calcium metabolic study (run out of an educational and recreational summer camp) for thirty American Chinese 14-15 year olds. Her Curtin colleagues Deb Kerr and Sophy Porter will be joining her. On her 4th trip to the US Janine is hoping to find a good cup of tea......

Attempt (?sad?) to recreate blueberry magic...

Must be homesick (? can you be homesick for a place not your home?) for Purdue, Indiana etc....as invited Deb Kerr over for buttermilk blueberry pancakes on Sunday breakfast.

Of course- had to use frozen blueberries! I wonder where the frozen blueberries when sold in WA come from? Tasmania? New Zealand? Michigan?....well one thing is for sure- not Berdine's blueberry farm (see previous post).

Than pancakes were very tasty- as this messy food photo sort of shows (kept being eaten before a STACK was formed).....good tea too!



But! kitchen disaster area!....stuck first pancake to a grill plate (non-stick my foot!)- had to change cooking implements...then burnt one...set off smoke alarm...freaked out guest (Deb) and THE cat a bit.....



still cleaning up.....

Yes, you can definately be homesick for a travel destination - especially when blueberries are involved! Pancakes look scrumptious. I don't know if there is an English word for it - but they often used the word "Fernweh" in Germany - maybe "travel bug" comes close.
