The east coast's suppposed to have another warm spell this week...into the mid 60s in CT and 50s in Montreal, QC.<br /><br />If you haven't seen it, may I suggest the brief documentary "Chasing Ice:"<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAbDDA3otfc<br /><br />A photographer stationed digital cameras in glaciers around the globe, and set them to go off every few minutes, over more than a decade.Diogenesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-47928097302992927542015-12-20T19:32:54.527+01:002015-12-20T19:32:54.527+01:00This is the sort of car my husband and I used to d...This is the sort of car my husband and I used to daydream about driving if we lived in France. Although when he lived in France, he drove an Austin Healey. But I love the deux chaveau ??

Is the Coté Sud a restaurant with a cave for wine tasting?

I will do it in the slow-cooker; good idea. I already did the confit de canard in the slow cooker last week.

Fortunately being locals, they were on the correct side of the road. My heart melted and thoughts of owning one in our new home in rural victoria came to mind.
