Raffi STOP mentioning Harvey's! I've only been back a few weeks and I miss their burgers already. (For those of you who don't know Harvey's ... they are an awesome Canadian charbroiled hamburger franchise ... probably one of the best in the world.)

This thing Raffi mentioned about Czech Airlines, I've heard from a lot of people. Apparently, that route through Prague with Czech Airlines is a nightmare. The hotel, the distance from the airport, the service, etc. I still think Austrian is doing the best job. And, if I'm not mistaken, they now have 6 flights a week.

Why is it so cold this year? It's definitely colder than last year. YUCK!

Well, I guess another vacation is long overdue. I'll be out of here soon to go somewhere warmer. Plus I can't handle 2-3 weeks of closed shops after New Year's. I think it's ridiculous. Last winter I ran out of bread and had no choice but to make my own at home. I did a pathetic job. :-(

Since I moved out on my own I started dropping by one of the 24-hour bakeries late at night. I usually buy about 4-5 matnaqash breads (the BEST Armenian bread out there, and in my opinion better than lavash.) I cut them up into 3 or 4 pieces, stick them in zip-lock bags, and put them in the freezer when they are fresh and warm. Whenever I need one, I take it out of the freezer, let it defrost, and they turn out as soft and tasty as the fresh ones. YUM!
