First, thanks to everyone who sent me birthday well-wishes.
Second, my birthday is October 16th, roughly six months away.
Third, today is Akemi’s birthday!
We celebrated by taking a family trip to Le Beau Croissanterie where we had a brunch of
A butter croissant, a pistachio croissant, an apple chausson, and a kougn-amman along with a cappuccino with soy milk (for Akemi of course) and a white chocolate mocha (for me, natch).
Then, we took the bus down to the Distillery district where Sharky got in some steps.
After which we made the walk to St. Lawrence Market where I picked up some muscat grapes and blueberries (mostly for Akemi) and a smoked meat sandwich for your truly.
Followed by a quick stop at the nearby liquor store where I picked up a new amaro for my growing collection. This one Akemi found a little more sweetness forward while I found it a little more medicinal in flavor than the others I’ve tried. Still, great.
After a short break, we were out once again, this time to Trinity Bellwoods Park where Akemi checked out the cherry blossoms.
By the time we got home, Sharky and I were exhausted – but Akemi was still rarin’ to go.
So we’re off to the gym!
