Review- The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseni
Reading the negative reviews made me wary of reading Khaled Hosseni’s The Kite Runner. It’s not the best start to your reading experience, being told you’re going to hate something, is it? But still I read it. The novel is set against the back drop of the final days of Afghanistan’s monarchy and the oppression of the Taliban. It tells the story of two boys, Amir and Hassan, and their friendship set against the social and political conflicts of the early 1970s.

A few months back, my ex boyfriend commented that I was pretty much everywhere over the web. Apparently when you search for me, I pop up on every social network you can think of.

My writing can be found here: http://clairechambers.writerfolio.com/ and https://plus.google.com/113325729267612102441/posts. My photography is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/blueandredstars.

Canada!
I thought I’d share some photos of food I took on my trip to Canada last year. This is a maple syrup breakfast I had in Quebec. Everything was literally dripping in maple syrup! I had that breakfast after eating a three-course meal the night before. The main course was duck: Another delicacy I enjoyed during my Candian odyssey was a Maple Syrup pie. Those Candians really love their Maple Syrup!: And of course I made a trip to Tim Horton’s and tried their Timbits!

Battenberg Cake
I made a Battenberg cake back in January. It was quite ambitious as I had never made anything like that before but I think it turned out well.
