With June Came the Sun

And it did! As if the Almighty had been twiddling His Thumbs for a month until June 1st and then flipped A Switch. (It must be awfully big).

What do I instinctively do? Head for Jean-Talon market, of course! To buy cherry tomato plants, flat-leaf parsley, purple and green basil and pretty much anything that will get eaten. It's so nice to be making, say, spaghetti sauce and say, Shit, I forgot the basil when I went shopping, then remember that it's right on your balcony!



Next stop: an afternoon trolling Little Italy and in particular, Milano (why don't these people have websites?), which is a vast emporium of all things Italian. No doubt controlled by goombahs, but who cares?

Montreal in the summer is paradise, folks. Festivale de la bière mondiale, Jazz Fest, warm nights, hot food, you name it.
