Gingerly, I blow through my vocal cords. A hint of sound emanates from me. I do not dare speak, lest I delay the return of my voice. I can do much without a voice: painting, reading, watching a movie, cycling. Yet, this voiceless state is cramping my style--I miss the long conversations.
I cycle by Allan Gardens. This garden has been on my to-do list since moving to Toronto, even before it was featured in Atom Egoyan’s film, “Chloe”. I have passed it on many occasions, meaning to stop someday. That day has finally come. I make a conscious decision to stop and explore on this year of creativity. The conservatory is a pleasant spot, as long as I ignore the drug deal going on around the corner.
I continue on to my original destination: Ed’s Real Scoop. My fellow foodie friends have been telling me about this place for a while. To stay on top of my Toronto dining knowledge, I must stop by for research purposes! Ed’s produces great locally made ice creams serving interesting flavours such as pumpkin and PB&J. However, the flavours are a bit too blatant for my taste: the blood orange is a bit too tart, the cherry is too much like bubble gum. Still, I thoroughly enjoy the chocolate hazelnut and coconut scoops. The verdict: Hollywood gelato still reigns on top of my Toronto gelato choices.
