Wow, it’s been YEARS it seems since I’ve posted anything, so in order to avoid my account being deactivated or something I figured I would send out a brief update. Jen and I have been frantically working on the finishing touches of our apartment. We made much progress over this past three-day weekend [...]

Haitian Delights in Villeray

A Salvadoran birthday feast at Las Palmas
Jon took me to an amazing Salvardoran restaurant in Villeray for my birthday yesterday. It may have been more casual than a traditional birthday dinner, but it was a perfect choice. I have wanted to go to Latin America, South America, or Africa to do (non-religious) missionary or relief work since high school, and El [...]

What we’re eating…
Last night Jen and I tried out a recipe I found for coffee and banana scones. They turned out pretty good but the recipe could use some tweaking. I’ll post the recipe once it’s perfected. Sorry this is a short post.
More to come soon…

Mythical food of Byblos
Jon and I had the most amazing breakfast at Byblos this past weekend, which I’ve been dying to try since I read some amazing reviews of it from MontrealFood.com (review here) and MadeinMtl (review and photos here).
It is a Middle Eastern (Moyen Orient in French) restaurant with amazing brunch. Above is a picture of our [...]

Yikes! It’s been a while!
We’d first like to apologize to our loyal readers (surprisingly, we have some!) for the lack of activity here lately. We have been keeping plenty busy and have a plethora of blog entries to make. I’m going to skip ahead to what went on this past weekend, and we’ll try to fill in the rest [...]

Well…so much for THAT idea.
We took off a couple Sundays ago to seek out a few used furniture stores to see about a new loveseat (our IKEA loveseat, though we love it…was giving us trouble)
To make a long story short, both places were closed.
We found another knick-knack shop and wandered through that, but the owner was REALLY uptight, and [...]

A Petite Adventure in Petite Patrie.
We’re a couple weeks late in getting caught up but, this little adventure happened last weekend in a cute neighborhood called Petite Patrie. Petite Patrie is part of the larger neighborhood of Rosemont. Though a small community, it has a lot to offer.

Oh, the adventure!
Today, we walked 11 miles. We walked up, down, and around Mount Royal–passing through Westmount from its eastern to its western border along Rue St. Catherine and Rue Sherbrooke.
