Montreal food writer & independent journalist, cookbook author & mag columnist (Elle Quebec, Vero). History buff. Et oui, je suis franco.
A first for me, tonight I came across a cookbook sold on Amazon and transparent (?) enough to list ChatGPT as a co-author. Just wow. Has anyone seen other books partly credited to AI? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️

#Montreal #desserts Trompe l’oeil pastries from ÔFauria in Laval, maybe 1 of 3 shops in Greater Montreal to follow the trend re-started by Cedric Grolet in France. Expensive ($19 each!) but really cool and delish. I took macaron lessons from chef Faure, happy to see the place was packed. ofauria.com

#whatscooking Testing for new cookbook, pesto and parmesan flaky pastry straws. So easy it’s a wonder I never made these sooner (with store-bought pastry, let’s be real). 🍽️🍜

Oh didn’t capture, not a camera girlie. But owls perch at the top of this tall tree behind our house, on this long dead branch, and you see their silhouettes against the sky. Magical. Too far up unless you have a pro camera. My talents are limited to occasional ducks in the pool & visiting turkeys…

I looove so many birds and I have a teen who is crazy about birds of prey, so I hear about them a lot and almost get into car accidents when he suddenly yells: "Mom, look, an eagle!" That said, this is probably my guy... I've seen one in the wild, I could never not gasp out loud.

Tonight my 18 yr old arrived in Peru on a student volunteering and tourism trip with his school. They will take a day off to Aguas Calientes if anyone has tips on the best way to enjoy the town and Machu Picchu. To think he was 2 years old a second ago… #mommyblues #emptynest #Canadaproud

I love historical fiction but all-men war novels, not so much. I actually restarted halfway through the audiobook so I could read the ebook at the same time because there are many characters and I was getting confused. Amazing narration by Bronson Pinchot and I was not a fan of his before either…

The last day before petals fall. After 20yrs, he still brings flowers for Valentine’s Day. It took his (then) 12yr-old son telling him ´she doesn’t like roses’ for him to seek out tulips. He does. I blame reading Dumas’ La tulipe noire as a teen for my devotion to this simple flower with no perfume.

Kiddo had his driver license test today and it turned into a bureaucratic nightmare. No details needed but cocktails, oh yes. This is DIS/CO, i.e. 1 oz Amaretto Disaronno, 1 oz Southern Comfort and 1 oz jus lemon juice on ice, topped with ginger ale and cucumber garnish. I’m a cocktail fiend.

I decided to catch up on all those US movies I managed not to see along the years for no other reason than timing (plus I was into Quebec and European cinema back in the day). Now I want to redo Christmas lol. What movie has been on your radar for years and it just never happens?

This was a deputy chief of staff today saying US never agreed Canada won’t become 51st state. Canadians are furious and trust is poor. If Orangutan keeps mouthing off, it could lead to irreparable damage between our countries. May already have. I have close family in the U.S. so it hurts to say so.

I was late to the game and only started playing the NYT Connections archives in December. The last time the game stumped me was Christmas Eve. Does that mean I live rent-free in their head? Or vice-versa? 🤔

I’m a preppy kinda dresser but if I were in my 20s with a banging body, I would dress like this (once in a while lol). FKA Twigs crushing it during Rick Owens Paris fashion show.

It was time for a new wallpaper. Reverting to a favourite in Basquiat. Something more peaceful might have been better advised. 🤔

The best of Canadian mornings, kiddo hitting the slopes of Morin Heights north of Montreal. Lazy snow, and the place is packed.
