Cruel fate
On a day where I get to hear Dr. Kathy Reichs, author of Déjà Dead, Death du Jour, Grave Secrets and a world renowned forensic anthropolgist, you'd think that I'd be able to find a TV station showing an episode of CSI. You'd think.
While I'm here some, observations about Quebec. Rimmel commericals here are totally dumb. Why? Because like the English commericals the announcer speaks with a British accent. Now that's something totally acceptable when speaking English, but when you're speaking french, you just sound retarded.
Also, Quebec has secret cheese. Totally secret cheese.
Montreal is a pretty city and while I love Toronto, I have to admit that Montréal has some very redeeming features. It's not as architecturally insane as Toronto is. People seem nice, the shopping looks good (Winners, so much better in Montreal). I think if I was here with someone (namely M) I'd really like it. I spent a little time after the conference ended today getting some snaps of big, pretty, buildings. Some new, some old. I'm hoping to get to old Montréal tomorrow and get my lover-of-architecture going on.

You can get some of the secret cheese at Pusateri's, I think ... "St. Albert" is the brand name. Ees fantastic. Quebec is also, incidentally, where Kraft makes most of it's "cheese food product."
Glad you're enjoying la belle ville.

There's also the World of Cheeses in Kensington Market...and the St. Lawrence Market has CRAZY cheeses....they may not be secret...but they're CRAZY!
Feeling need to defend T.O.'s cheesiness :)

Hey Chel... if you are interested in some (probably outdated by now) suggestions for dining in Montreal: I highly recommend Lele de Cuca on the Plateau for a 'very Montreal' dining experience (can't remember the street exactly). It's a hole in wall mexican-brazilian fusion joint with fantastic food at good prices and is BYOW. Also, if you want some good big 'healthy' eats, Santropol is super cute and makes mongo sandwiches (Duluth/St. Urbain); and if you want to fork out for an awesome dinner: Gibby's in Old Montreal is a steakhouse that also does wicked fish, but it's pricey (probably $50 at least by now for a full dinner, I'd bet). Cheers,
Natasha.
