Smoke's Travelling Poutinerie

All those years in Quebec and I had never heard of a poutinerie. Poutine is sold "a la casse- croute". I wonder what the office de la langue francais will do when they find out the word originated in Ontario. Does that make it English?

Spring Beach Colour: Violet

Iris

Allium

Spiderwort




On the last day of spring here are some of the violet colours from the beach garden.

Stink Eye

Vincent gives the chef the stink eye as somehow he was overlooked for a big juicy steak.

Busy Chef

Uncle Mike, the chef at work.

As you like it; Rare to medium.

One Hot BBQ!

Anticipation!

Uncle Marc Loads Up.

Aunt Beth Digs In.

The chef was busy Grand Prix weekend with the BBQ going all weekend. Here is the finale; Rib steaks garnished with (of course) Montreal steak spice. More delicous offering can be seen on "Marc's Blog" along with the bud girls.

Got Squirrels Do Ya!

Somebody has to go and get a truckload of peanut butter to take care of the squirrels in the chimney.

Some Scenes from Montreal

Ile St. Helen and the Fuller Dome.

The robot sculpture. Of course it is blue.

Arret!

Marathon Souvlaki. Best souvlaki in Montreal and probably Canada. Why does one still need to go to Montreal for great food.

Le Manoir, many glasses emptied over the years.

Spaghetti highways.

Still some aging factories on the skyline. Maybe a movie set now.

Time went so fast we didn't get a chance to visit some of the great locations Montreal has to offer. Here are a few pictures of the great city of Montreal.

Luisa's First Grand Prix

Luisa's first Grand Prix certainly was an exciting one. By all accounts she enjoyed it. Mike and Marc are regulars at the race. Thanks to Aunt Beth for taking care of Vincent while we enjoyed the race.

After the Race

Another race sold out.

Seagulls descend once the engines are turned off.

Nascar seat cushions.

Pre-Race Countdown

5 minutes to the show.

3 minutes, clearing the grid.

Formation lap.

Hamilton was not fastest this day.

Grand Prix Start: Green

The five lights are off. A millisecond before chaos.

Grand Prix Start: Hamilton First to Turn One

Hamilton leads to turn 1 leaving the fun behind him.

Grand Prix Start: Massa Sprints to Fourth

Massa sprinted to 4th in turn 1 but found out that Liuzzi would not give up the place so easily.
