I'm a born and raised Albertan, but I currently attend school in Utah. I love to cook and bake-- and my roommates and friends love it. They even let me use some of their ingredients if I let them eat a bit of what I make ;) I successfully hosted Canadian thanksgiving for 18 of my American friends this past October. I did make a quick call home to my dad with turkey-roasting questions, though =] One time I was in a hurry, so I bought a pre-made pie crust. I thought that it was a pre-baked one, but apparently it wasn't- that was one nasty, soggy lemon meringue pie
