Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Sunday, February 13, 2011. What it's like in the Northern Hemisphere.

two years in Quebec: Roadtrip to Burlington, VT, USA
http://twoyearsinquebec.blogspot.com/2010/11/roadtrip-to-burlington-vt-usa.html
Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Friday, November 19, 2010. Roadtrip to Burlington, VT, USA. G and I took a little road trip to the USA a couple of weeks ago. We stayed in Burlington, which is 160km south of Montreal and lies on the eastern side of Lake Champlain. Such beautiful blue skies! The top picture is looking out over Lake Champlain - you can see the Adirondack mountains on the other side of the lake. I will have to visit in the summer and see how busy this area is! We shared their ho...

two years in Quebec: Snow!
http://twoyearsinquebec.blogspot.com/2011/11/snow.html
Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Last night was our first proper snow fall for the 2011/2012 winter! Temperatures are meant to be quite mild for the rest of the week so it will probably melt before too long, but what a lovely surprise to wake up to! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

two years in Quebec: A neat gimmick from the new Harry Potter movie
http://twoyearsinquebec.blogspot.com/2011/07/neat-gimmick-from-new-harry-potter.html
Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Friday, July 15, 2011. A neat gimmick from the new Harry Potter movie. Harry's signature glasses - now optimised for 3D movie viewing! Yes, I went to the midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 2 and yes, it was fantastic! Save for the epilogue, of course, which I think we can all agree we could live without. I found so much of the movie so beautiful and solemn and moving that the cheesiness of the epilogue was quite jarring.).

two years in Quebec: Foccacia (or, adventures in using yeast for the first time!)
http://twoyearsinquebec.blogspot.com/2011/09/foccacia-or-adventures-in-using-yeast.html
Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Friday, September 2, 2011. Foccacia (or, adventures in using yeast for the first time! I love to bake, however, I usually bake sweet treats. Montreal has so many amazing bakeries (Boulangerie Guillaume. Is my current favourite) that it seems hard to justify sweating over a mountain of dough when you can pick up the best olive fougasse you have ever tasted for $2.95, just down the street! And, the finished product! Sel Gris de Guérande. Montreal, QC, Canada.

Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Can't stop listening to. Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) by Arcade Fire (from their album The Suburbs). Song of the moment.

two years in Quebec: Laksa! In Montreal!!
http://twoyearsinquebec.blogspot.com/2011/06/laksa-in-montreal.html
Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Saturday, June 4, 2011. My favourite laksa in the world comes from Dickson Asian Noodle House in Canberra, in Australia. It is an absolute monster, stuffed full of delicious morsels of chicken, duck, seafood, pork and tofu, with rice and Hokkein noodles in that famous coconut curry broth. Yum. And behold, laksa has arrived in Montreal! I have a feeling Satay Brothers are going to be a big hit on the Montreal food scene this summer - and deservedly so! View my ...

two years in Quebec: Balcony gardening - indoors!
http://twoyearsinquebec.blogspot.com/2010/11/balcony-gardening-indoors.html
Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Thursday, November 4, 2010. Balcony gardening - indoors! Meant one thing - it was time to bring the garden inside for the winter! Last year I was a little tardy and I ended up losing some plants but this year I was on the ball, and just in time! However I am not just concerned about survival, but where am I going to put them all? I wonder if a small shelving unit would be strong enough to support all that soil. November 10, 2010 at 3:31 AM.

two years in Quebec: First snow!
http://twoyearsinquebec.blogspot.com/2010/10/first-snow.html
Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Sunday, October 31, 2010. It snowed last night! Just a couple of centimetres, and it wasn't cold enough for any to stick - this is what was left this morning and it was melting fast! No more snow is forecast for awhile and it should still be another month or so before our first big snowstorm (which hit December 7th last year, the day before I was due to fly out to Australia) Still, the snow is a big reminder that winter is on its way!

two years in Quebec: Is this a joke?
http://twoyearsinquebec.blogspot.com/2011/09/is-this-joke.html
Two years in Quebec. This'll be a mish mash! Sunday, September 11, 2011. Is this a joke? We saw this a couple of months ago in the Guy-Concordia area and were left wondering whether it was real or not, or whether it was part of a clue in a scavenger hunt or something similar.
