Summer's Better Half
Well, I'm sure a lot of you have noticed that my postings have been getting a little lax in the past month or so. Summertime activities have cut down on my time spent in front of a computer (thank goodness!). So, I am going to make a good effort to get you caught up to speed in the next week.
August kicked off in Thamesford with a long weekend spent at home. I had Mel and Pete's wedding and that horrendous drive back to Ottawa which I have told you all about (and can now laugh about).
Since then, I have been up to Gatineau to do some more exploring in the park, went on the Naughty Ottawa Pub Crawl, spent an afternoon at the Aerial Park Adventure course in Quebec, and indulged in another 2 dinners at my favourite restaurant in the market, Play.
My cooking skills are getting a workout as well. I made a sausage paella, a shrimp stirfry, spanokopita (sort of), and have been introduced to bulgur which is similar to cous cous or quinoa. I made a really good bulgur salad (compliments of the London Free Press recipe section). I have added the recipe in the Comments page for anyone who is interested.
I hope everyone is having a great summer! Stay tuned for some good stories coming your way... xo
