in my experience, the worst part of having a partner is having someone you miss when you go away from them. i'm leaving tomorrow for berlin, and i was feeling super excited until i got thinking about saying goodbye to brendan. BUT i'm committed to not letting that ruin my time. i'll be back in less than a week and we're going to skype. i should make the most of it, right? i'm sure i'll have a great time, and brendan will be fine on his own.
tomorrow i take the 9:00 train to montreal, then a bus to the airport, then a plan to zurich, then another plane to berlin. it'll be a long journey, but it'll be fun. i love the journey part of every trip. this one will be particularly good since i'm traveling business class the whole way. i really like business class on the train. it's so comfortable and the food is delicious and free! i'm not exactly sure what business class is like on a plane. i think the seats are slightly bigger, and i've heard the food is better (and i quite like plane food to start with). it's too bad that i can't take advantage of the free alcoholic drinks. i had a virgin strawberry daiquiri at marilyn's retirement party last night. it was delicious, but not cheaper, as i would've expected. it seems they charged me for the alcohol they didn't include.
tell me something... what are probiotics? because i'm pretty sure they're making my yogurt less good tasting. or at least giving it an undesirable texture.
i checked the weather in berlin for the next week and it ranges between 0 and 5ºC, which is an improvement to the biting wind that hurt my face while out for errands this afternoon.
since i had the day off, brendan was able to take the car to his placement and come home at lunch time. i made us some lunch. i realized that i'd totally forgotten to use the kale that i bought last week :S so i made us tomato soup and kale chips. they turned out pretty well, but i've realized that i really don't enjoy it when my food has a strong olive oil taste. olive oil seems to be the most aggressive of the oils. i think i'll give it another try sometime, but use a more subtle oil or maybe even melted butter.
i still have more things to do (like find our european socket adapter), so i should get on with it. good news! i found my missing address book! yay! i wasn't even looking for it.
every place i go, i'll think of you.

probiotics are the bacteria that your colon needs to be healthy. the 'flora'/probiotics support regular bowel movements and are the foundation to a properly functioning immune system.
would it affect the taste or texture?
Yep, probiotics are the good bacteria that help keep the bad bacteria in our bodies in check - and not just in our colons.
As for taste and texture, I have no idea if they would be affected. Maybe it's just the the yogurt itself you don't like?
Almost all yogurt contains probiotics. It would have to be incredibly cheap, crappy yogurt not to have them. They're what make yogurt good for preventing yeast infections. My guess is that it's just the particular brand of yogurt you don't like.
I really like the travel part of a trip to. getting to and fro in the airport. checking in. waiting for luggage etc.
I don't like greek yogurt becuase it has a weird texture. Grainy or chalky or something. Sometimes they add starches or thickeners, too, especially of they take out fat. Yick.
