Photos of Scotland
I hope you enjoy the new page with a video and some photos that I just put up of our trip to Scotland in April of this year — we rented a boat and cruised the Caledonian Canal (Loch Ness and more) for a week during a fantastic stretch of sunny, warm weather.
We had such an amazing time, we’re going to do it all over again — same time, same place, NEXT year. I can’t wait. Going through all of the photos has got me excited…and I only have 7 more months to wait!
It’s a good thing I’m busy in the Outlander Kitchen…speaking of which, come and join the chat over on the OK Facebook page…things can get a little silly over there at times, but we do have a good time!
As for Twitter, immediately after I set up the @OutlanderKitchn account, I did a search for #jamiefraser and #outlander and then quickly followed everyone who had used those hashtags. More accurately, I actually followed the 6 people who had used them most recently. And then an angry red bar appeared at the top of my Twitter page — SUSPENDED? What?
Six days later, I am happy to report that my account has been allowed out of time out. Twitter’s bots accused me of “agressive following behaviour,” for which I have contritely apologized. You’ll now see a little Twitter badge under the Facebook one over on the right side of the page.
If you’re looking for OK on Twitter, you’ll find us @OutlanderKitchn (notice the missing e) — give us a follow, and I’ll give you one right back!
Mmmm, Outlander. I’m probably one of the 6 people you followed on Twitter. I’ve been to Scotland, loved the Highlands, and wish I could go on the Outlander tour. :D I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
Thanks for stopping by Leslie…I was looking at those Outlander tours just the other night (links on http://outlandishobservations.blogspot.com/) — I got a few more ideas for our trip next April! Theresa
Hi, great blog!… and great title… I do love Jamie Oliver’s food! They opened up a new restaurant a block from my work so tried it out and the pasta was delicious :)
Thanks Christine! Not that I don`t like Jamie Oliver, but in this case, Jamie is Jamie Fraser, a red-haired, broad-shouldered 18th Century Scotsman who lives in the mind`s eye of many, but is, alas, fictional. If you like historical/romantic/fantasy (and a whole lot more), please check out the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. This blog is all about recreating the food described in her novels….Theresa
