Aaaahhhh Vacation!

I just love being on vacation....I got rest, physical and mental. I am getting rid of this pesky summer cold that
has been dragging me down for 4 weeks....

We got a lot of move related stuff done, take that move you're not the boss of me!!!

Our neighbor was so thrilled when we mentioned that we needed to get rid of a huge horizontal freezer....as soon as I finish emptying and cleaning it she will send her boyfriend and friends to move it.

To tell you the truth we were freaking out about the freezer, it's old, it's ugly ( since it was in the woodworking shop, Dan woodworker extraordinaire,  kind of used it as a work table....) but it still works!
We had no idea what to do with it....to ugly to sell, to heavy to move from the basement by ourselves.....
So I'm glad it will start a new life in my neighbor's garage.

I had to change a valve in the pool...AGAIN!!! Nearly every year I have to change it, I gave a piece of my mind to the owner of the pool shop and she said that some parts are really cheap now, and a lot of customers have to change that same valve every year! I was glad to learn that and I feel better about my poolgirl skills!

 This is the valve in question.....

                                          You can clearly see the crack in the plastic....If we had stayed that pool would have been history in September....Ad I would've bought a new pool to be installed in Spring 2016...

But this is not to be and I am looking forward to NO

pool maintenance.....

 We had lunch at Blak's no 1 in Ile Perrot

great fried chicken!

 Tomorrow if you're looking for me.....

I will be floating in the pool

or

Lounging under the parasol....

Stay cool!

On Street Food

It seems that the city of Montreal's steet food experiment is a success as they extended the trial season

until November 3rd.

So far everything was delicious, and overall the prices were okay.

Of course I take pictures whenever I indulge...

First what I ate from Le Tuktuk (Thai inspired food truck)

                                                    This Thai style fried chicken was definitely a highlight
                                            and totally additive. The red sauce is a sweet chili sauce, sweet,
                                            sticky and a little spice. I will be back!

This is a green papaya salad. Very refreshing and spicy!

I wasn't crazy about the raw green beans...

 

                                            Next offering...Breakfast!
                                            Montreal being one of the world's bagel capital,
                                            it seemed fitting to have a bagel truck.
                                   

St-Viateur Bagels makes (in my humble opinion) the best bagels in town.

I had the cream cheese bagel and was disappointed.

The bagel is not toasted on the inside (where it counts), but you can buy

a dozen bagel and bring them home and toast them however you want.

                                            This amazing crab cake came from the Landry & Filles
                                             food truck. It was delicious and the corn salad made with fresh corn
                                             ,scrumptious. The down side? It was $8 and  was still hungry after....
                                            
                                             Of course I kept dessert for last...
                                           

I hadn't plan on stopping.

I was out on my midday walk and was

assaulted by the need for sweets

These certainly hit the spot!

Turnovers filled with cherries, dark chocolate and

cream cheese!

2 for $4!

The gals at the office are jealous and want some;

but Lucky's Truck is pretty elusive!

 

On my food truck bucket list there is The Super Truck.

Maybe next week, who knows?
