Crepes

We had the lovely pleasure of dining out at a creperie at Mont Tremblant. I thought it would be fun to show all the foodies what we ate!

Sorry I don't have any recipes. This is just another reason to travel to Quebec. Although I'm sure we could get some here in Toronto too. But while on vacation we ate well! This first beauty was actually one my hubby and I split Summer of 2008 in Montreal and I wished I had gotten one all to myself.

This lovely one had ham, eggs and cheese inside and is topped with bechamel.

This particular one may not look like much but it was heaven in a bite. It had smoked chicken, onion, cheeses, and salsa. It was very good.

I was busy selecting for my daughter and did not really supervise husband and son's selection. The kiddo saw the ice cream on the menu's pictures and it was all over. He opted for peaches as fruit of choice and was pretty happy with his lunch. What 4 year old wouldn't be?

I got a traditional crepe filled with black forest ham, asparagus and bechamel suace. For my daughter we ordered a plain crepe and she demolished it with maple syrup. I've never seen her finish anything at a restaurant. I was so tickled on our way out the door I thanked the chef who in turn complimented how well behaved the children had been. And I assured her they aren't always that good but still it was nice to be complimented!

So in summary if you get a chance you must try crepes. They are fabulous! I can't decide which I like more savory or sweet.

Lobster Mania

Well we are back from Nova Scotia and it was a fantastic trip. How do you journal or share about 600 pictures taken over 6 days? At any rate this was the first thing we spotted after we flew into Halifax and we got in our rental car and started driving to Cape Breton. We don't eat fast food but found it hilarious and actually went back for this picture. It says it's McLobster season.

My first meal in Nova Scotia was a full Lobster supper. Dear Hubby insisted. I grew up not eating much seafood the closest I experienced was tuna salad, frozen fish sticks or salmon burgers. I had no idea what I was missing. Once I had the real deal I was hooked! We once took a trip to Boston and Cape Cod in 2004. I intended to eat my full share of seafood then only to have full on morning sickness and not partake lest a few bites of some chowder I shared with my husband. One meal all I could do was eat some apple pie ala mode as I was so nauseated.


I had seafood every meal and more than made up for missing out in the past!

Me with my dorky bib on ready to dig in!

Lobster rolls are incredible.

Stuntwoman called lobsters: Spiders, crabbies, and my monster. I could not get her to say lobster no matter how many times I coached her. She would have brought this one home if we would have let her!

Check out this big one in the tank!

For me one of the highlights was all the fresh and wonderful seafood. I had lobster, crab cakes, fresh atlantic salmon, digby bay scallops, chowder and seafood linguini. None of it disappointed. My husband does not like seafood except for tuna salad. To his credit he tried lobster rolls a couple times this trip. I'm proud of him!

Opa!

More catching up on our happenings. The first weekend in June I was able to redeem a spa package from my birthday in January which was a nice treat. Then that evening we had a babysitter, whom the kids LOVE come watch them. We went to Danforth Avenue which is where there are lots of interesting shops and great Greek food.

We ended up starting with Saganaki (OPA) Kefalograviera cheese in brandy with a squeeze of lemon. Cause that was what everyone else was getting and every 5 seconds you'd hear the servers and patrons yelling "Opa!" Opa is in general a traditional expression in Greek when you dance and feel very happy. It's like saying "Hurray!" Anyhow it's fun to be at a park and hear others yelling "Opa" when a kid goes down a slide. Those Greeks sure know how to party and celebrate!

Yummy Greek salad

Chicken Gyro dinner.

I always forget and order the meal and not the wrap! Dear Hubby got some phyllo wrapped thing with roasted lamb and spinach and cheese. It was tasty!

Does this store display remind you of a movie?

Ah, Danforth Avenue. Good times and good eats. We will miss this spot and the lack of good Greek food upon return to Texas.
