warmth / chill


A much delayed post from my lovely winter break! With a new wider blog format too, for bigger pics. Everyone likes bigger pics.



Break was filled with plenty of eating and relaxing with my family, friends, and kitties. I had time to bake too- mastered the chocolate chip, ginger, and brownie cookies.


Lots of family dinners. This is my little cousin Justin waiting on dessert.


We had a delicious, albeit non-traditional, Christmas dinner at home.



Presents!


First time over at Billy Bishop airport to pick up Brian. Right after the big snow.


Touristing in the cold



Poor boy had never had a Kinder Surprise before. Can't believe these little pods of happiness and childhood are illegal in America!


Black cod at Lee. Can't get enough fusion!


Winter sangria at Insomnia with some friends. Was not excited to return to America's silly drinking age laws.


Home base. Miss public transit too.


Brian's first poutine experience! Poutini's House of Poutine makes the best in Toronto.


Completed the meal down the street with delicate macarons from Nadege


Escaping the chill in Cafe Pamenar with a hot cup of chai and my favourite boy
