Toronto-bound


We were fortunate enough to be able to change our point of boarding from downtown Montreal to Dorval Stn, just outside the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport, where we were dropping off the rental van.

The boys are super-excited to have WiFi in the train. I am, too - I will be able to update the blog on the commute and have maximum time to spend with my soul-sister Tannis.

Mon fromage!!!

In Aylmer at the beach it isn't ants you need worry about interrupting your picnic and stealing you sandwiches - the brazen little seagulls just walk up on people's beach blanket and steal entire blocks of cheese. Mon dieu!!!

Pretty damn tasty

I wish I had the time to cook like this every night.

Patio view

A little hidden paradise upstairs at the Inn Between. Recommended highly by yours truly for anyone passing through Montreal.

funky sculpture

mmm - fresh produce for dinner

Shitake and oyster mushrooms, yellow zucchini, bell peppers, mango, Spanish onions, and garlic cloves sauteed in butter with fresh Rosemary and basil from our patio garden, served chilled over romaine lettuce with steamed artichokes. Accompanied by cheese from the fromagerie with baguette and an Argentinean red wine. I freakin' love the Jean Talon market.
