Me too, Montreal…

meeeeee too: 

 

La dernière photo que j’ai prise tandis que j’étais à Montréal

La dernière souper

WOW.

The best french food I’ve ever had.

Ever.

Our own white wine.

Broccoli and Leek Soup.

Phyllo pastry with perfectly sautéed mushrooms in a  lightly seasoned gravy.

Red Tuna, beautifully seared; in a pesto cream sauce, served with perfectly mashed beets, rice pilaf, and  some sort of delicious veggie salsa.

Chocolate Mousse.

Coffee.

A lovely walk home with my lovely host.

LOVELY.

aussi;

Merci pour enough locally brewed beer to fall down the stairs at the Main and not hurt myself before consuming a giant plate of poutine topped with Montreal smoked meat.

Et aussi merci pour enough beers to make me think it’s totally normal to post an itemized list of my shopping excursions at three o’clock in the morning.

Montreal, je t’aime.

Merci

Thank you montreal.

Thank you for the slouchey hat and the beanie hat and the ivory pashmina scarf.

Thank you for the tights.

Thank you for the fake Ray Bans.

Thank you for the sexy straightlegged jeans.

Thank you for the adorable sweater.

But thank you most for the sexy fall jacket that is my favourite colour of all time; aubergine.

mandatory curriculum

somebody better darn well teach drivers how to signal and not cut people off or THIS cyclist is going to bust some serious snooty windows in a really serious hurry

hey Wiarton

It’d be nice if you were closer so that my drive to and from you to pick up 2 tonnes of stone didn’t make me have a THIRTEEN POINT FIVE HOUR DAY!

noodled me in!

Heyyyyy Alternative Grounds in Roncesvalles, you just TOTALLY impressed me with your ingenuity.  Maybe you’re not the first to do this, but you’re the first that I’ve noticed and I LOVE IT!

stir sticks!

They use what I think is either raw fettuccine or linguine noodles as stir sticks for coffee! Now THAT is biodegradeable and economic AND kitschy!  I like you, A.G. I can’t wait to find out other reasons for why I do!

I thoroughly enjoy how many fair trade organic coffee shops are opening up and are already open in Toronto.  I will always choose them over starbucks, timmy’s, timothy’s, second cup, coffee time, country style, etc.  I hope others will continue to do so as well!
