While Akemi and the dogs are back home holding the fort, I’m in Montreal to: a) celebrate my sister’s birthday and b) eat!
Day #1 in photos…


Lunch with mom and sis.


Ribs and friendship cake.

Handsome Fernando.

My best buddy, Ralphie.

Turkish ice cream. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture and flavour. The almond was good, but the pistachio was exceptional.

A dessert medley from Maison Christian Faure.



Check out this former bank turned cafe in Old Montreal.

Andria and Daisy in deep discussion.


Rib-eye steak and lobster tagliatelle at Le Chien Fumant.


Salted butter ice cream at Kem CoBa.
And this brings to an end my first day in Montreal – as well as my diet regimen.
Tomorrow’s forecast calls for smoked meat with a chance of chocolate-dipped soft serve.
P.S. I’ve really got to change this blog theme. It’s driving me nuts.
