We are going a bit batty as we are into week 6 of our lockdown and really miss traveling. We unfortunately had to cancel the safari we were so looking forward to but decided that we would improvise and do a stay-at-home safari with our favorite wild animal of all, Sumi, our rescued cat. Observing […]
Truth be told, we had not realized until after booking that we would be arriving in Vietnam on Lunar New Year. This is actually one of my travel tips! Check to see if anything is going on during your travel dates. That said, under normal circumstances, joining into the celebration could have been fun. Although, […]
Next to the Adriatic Sea, you would of course expect to have fresh seafood. We were hoping we would and were not disappointed! As luck would have it, we ate oysters in Mali Ston literally 200 ft from where they were cultivated. They were so good that we went back the same night to have […]

Montreal is a melting pot of cultures and as such has a lot of ethnic offerings from across the globe when it comes to food. You can even find groceries and spices in many of the standard grocery store chains from across the world catering to Middle Eastern, Asian, Indian, and European cultures. While this makes […]
So yes it’s true. Sardines are everywhere in Portugal. A national treasure these small fish are often just dipped in flour and fried or grilled in a pan or on charcoal. Not our cup of tea but we bought a t-shirt. Codfish is also a famous dish. Often dishes are prepared from dried salted cod, which […]
