I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Four days flew by and it’s already our last day at the cottage. We had a 4pm check-out time so we weren’t in too much of a rush. So we had the time to enjoy some food, to finish some packing, to clean up the Airbnb and even to allow the baby to take one… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 4 (Kingston)
It was another relaxing morning. I naturally woke up at 6:30 am and noticed it was sunrise time. I walked out to the sunroom attached to the bedroom and there it was! I don’t remember the last time I was able to see the sunrise. I have been up at this hour (or earlier) but… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 3 (Wolfe-Island)
We had a relaxing, lazy morning at the cottage as the weather continues to be wet. We had lovely American breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausages, bagels, croissants and fruits. After breakfast, we were debating whether to book a cruise to Thousand Islands later in the afternoon as previously planned, since there is a risk of… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 2 (Wolfe Island-Gananoque)
As usual, Day 1 is a travel day. We had left around noon from Ottawa. We made a stop the new Kingston Tesla Supercharger (there are 2 at this site) to recharge the car as well for quick lunch at Panera Bread. I had their pick 2 with BLT with avocado and the broccoli mac… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 1 (Ottawa-Kingston-Wolfe Island)
We now been on a few road trips with our infant. We went to Mont Tremblant with our then 2 month old, then Toronto when she was 6 months old and recently to Prince Edward County at 11 months old. We’re used to packing lights but packing for these trips were definitely another ballgame. Following… Continue reading Lessons Learnt: Roadtrips with an Infant
Recently, we took a family trip to Prince Edward County. Aaron and I have been to PEC a couple of times but this time, we had to adjust our trip a little due to travelling with two infants, a dog and a person with limited mobility (i.e. me with broken ankle in a cast). It… Continue reading Family Trip to Prince Edward County
We checked out Carlington Coffee House last weekend along with the Pascale All Natural Ice Cream pop-up. I've become quite a fan of local eatery pop-ups! It's just so fun! Location/Ambience Carlington Coffee House is located in an interesting part of Merivale where it is mostly residential buildings. As a matter of fact, the coffee… Continue reading Carlington Coffee House: Delicious Sandwiches, Spacious Patio, and Ice Cream!
This week, we ordered the Family Style Dinner Take Away from Fraser Cafe. We used to frequent Fraser Cafe for brunch and really enjoy their delicious breakfast sandwiches as well as interesting take on dishes like the Japanese okonomiyaki. We’ve also visited their adjacent dining room Table 40 for corporate events and really enjoyed our… Continue reading Fraser Cafe: A Family-Style Dinner Like No Other
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all restaurants in Ottawa are closed for dining-in. I will try to highlight local restaurants which are still open and offering take-out and delivery options in the meantime. NeXT has recently relaunched with a very enticing take-out menu. You can also get delivery via UberEats. For information on other restaurants which… Continue reading NeXT: A Romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner
Given the current recommendations to avoid any non-essential trips in the community, we haven’t step foot into a grocery store for over 4 weeks now by alternating meal kit delivery services with online grocery pick-up services. Ideally, we were going to use direct-to-home grocery delivery services like Instacart but there have not been any available… Continue reading PC Express Review: A Contact-Less Grocery Alternative
