Travel - I want to be a full time Tourist. Italy - love it. Chicago - What a Wonderful Town. Friday, August 21, 2015. A short drive from Perce to Carleton-sur-Mer. Up early and back to the dining room for a wonderful breakky overlooking the Rock. A quick walk through town and we were off to Carleton-sur-Mer just a short jaunt down the road. Only 3 hours in the car today. We might be able to do it without a stop. LOL - no chance. I love these little huts, the first time I saw them was in a coastal golf co...

Travel - I want to be a full time Tourist. Italy - love it. Chicago - What a Wonderful Town. Wednesday, September 23, 2015. PEI here we come. Gaspe au revoir. PEI Hello. As always a warm welcome was waiting us at Walrus by the Sea, home of Andy and MJ. This was a special visit as our good friends Doug and Lindsey were waiting there for us with a big pot of Doug's famous chili. And Fiona was over all the way from Scotland, her first time to the Maritmes. The gannets caught more fish than we did. One o...

Travel - I want to be a full time Tourist. Italy - love it. Chicago - What a Wonderful Town. Monday, September 1, 2014. Our final day, Malpeque Bay, Indian River and Summerside. The large oysters went for around $1.50 each. A bargain. Malpeque was the first little fishing village we had been in that had literally no colour to it, but in its own way very beautiful. Purchased it in 2010. Has grown since the 1st time we were there. It has a lovely little boardwalk full of touristy stores and is famous f...

Aurora - so full of Memories: Mating Season at MacKenzie Marsh
http://aurorasofullofmemories.blogspot.com/2014/04/mating-season-at-mackenzie-marsh.html
Aurora - so full of Memories. Wednesday, April 2, 2014. Mating Season at MacKenzie Marsh. MacKenzie Marsh is part of a trail system that joins Aurora up with Newmarket and I gather it goes all the way up to Green Lane. Definitely have to take a bike ride up in the summer - if only I had a bike. The trail system throughout York Region is called the Nokiidaa Trail. Here is a link to the Town of Aurora Trail information. Most of the geese on the north side of the pond are either on the grass or quite far ba...

Aurora - so full of Memories: February 2014
http://aurorasofullofmemories.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Aurora - so full of Memories. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Spring is Coming, I can feel it. All right, I am probably getting too excited for February 19, but there I was sitting in my office, watching my world start dripping. The roof is dripping, the road is turning into a river, ok maybe mushy, but it is starting and to top it off the SUN IS SHINING. I just had to go for a walk. Started off with the whole gambit, hat, scarf, mitts, coat, by the end everything was off. The eaves on this house are amazi...

Aurora - so full of Memories. Monday, May 12, 2014. Spring is in the air and the Farmer's Market in Aurora is hopping. What a great start to the Mother's Day Weekend. Yes I said weekend. One day isn't enough to celebrate all the beautiful mom's in the world. After all everyday is Father's Day, so surely we can steal a weekend :) ) . The day started sunny and warm, a quick cuppa "water and lemon" and off we went to the Aurora Farmers Market. We headed straight over to Cookery Catering. The stalls were so ...

Some Favourite Recipes: March 2015
http://chefcarlsonfamilyrecipes.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry. This is Chef Michael Smith's famous Sweet Potato and Chickpea Curry. Not only is it flavourful, but the colours are amazing. Is there anything better than the smell of onions and garlic sizzling. And then you add in the ginger and Thai curry paste. Voila the flavours jump up another notch. Every thing is sizzling away. A splash of vegetable oil. 1 large onion, diced. 3 or 4 cloves garlic, chopped. A small knob of giner. 1 - 19 ounce can chickpeas.

Aurora - so full of Memories. Thursday, November 28, 2013. Lunch at Pine Farm Orchard. A spur of the minute lunch with 2 good friends, Janine and Arlene, turned into an hour of laughs, good food and seeing a side of Pine Farm Orchard I had never experienced before. I have been there a few times in the fall usually a birthday lunch but had never been there when there was snow on the ground. I have only ever seen their front porch covered with apples, what normally seems like 100's of different varieties, ...
