For an afterglow of my Vancouver visit, I bring home a locally grown gala apple. There is nothing quite like a B.C. apple. I remember returning to Montreal with a couple of apples then buying more, only to be disappointed with a mealy red delicious.
Minus 2 isn’t quite biking temperature, but I dust off my bike and go for a spin in the bright crisp morning. I returned home a couple hours later to take up a more seasonal activity: skating at Harbourfront Centre.
I meet with my personal pizzaiole who has been making pizza for me for 15 years. We check out North. The secret herb blend (the waiter told me he did not know the name of the herbs in English...) made the simple egg and fava bean dish just exquisite. We pop by Red Rose Cafe to continue the Persian theme for some rose water flavoured sweets.
Happy New Year. You really did travel everywhere. Your writings give me a glimpse of sanity at the end of the day, this whole month, because in Nov and Dec the march of patients starts (seemingly like penguins)stampeding for the annual ritual of catching up procrastination and insurance.
ReplyDeleteOne question, what camera do you use? I enjoy the photos.

Tim, glad to hear that you are enjoying the blog.
ReplyDeleteMost of my photos are taken with a simple point and shoot: a Canon Powershot SD940IS. I bought this excellent compact camera just prior to my visit to India in 2009 and absolutely love it. Occasionally, I take out my Rebel XSi, and when I don't have either camera available (e.g. Gordon Ramsay and the skating photo above), I resort to my iPhone4.
