Goodbye Ottawa, Hello Vancouver We left Ottawa this week and stopped in Vancouver to say hello to friends. Great to see you all, see you again in the fall. You can see all photos here. How did you spend your week?
From Ottawa to Maui – JACKFRUIT HOT SAUCE
Here we are Well here we are, sitting in a beautiful house not too far from Haleakala on the island of Maui. It’s 83 degrees (28C) outside and sunny but every once in a while a rain shower passes over and dampens the rainforest. The ridiculously long and cold winter of home seems a distant […]
A Perfect Day in Ottawa

Homecoming – PECAN/PUMPKIN PIE
Homecoming Touching down in Montreal, it seemed as though we had just left. The European whirlwind was now a memory and while being thankful that we could make it happen, we were a little bummed out.
