I love Ontario




YAY what a bloody fantastic morning.
I actually got up before 11 am, I got on my bike which will now be referred to as 'Gertrude' and rode to the beaches.
What a lovely place to live Ontario is. My breakfast included... tomatoes, basil, parsley, dill, peaches, asparagus, and yogurt all grown and produced locally. Can you ever taste the difference! The tomatoes I ate for two years in England were imported from the Canary Islands and although while in the Canary Islands the produce is scrumptous and rich with taste from being grown in volcanic soil, after a 3 hour plane ride it tastes SHIT!
But enough of that. I'm home and it's summer and the thunder is rolling in, the peaches are stellar and the tomatoes make me feel like an Italian Nona during harvest time.

The photos above are what we ate ( the boy and I) on our newly inherited bistro set in our shared garden space in the middle of the city I love.

Fried rye bread in olive oil topped with fresh tomatoes, dill, parsley and basil. Salt, pepper and olive oil.
Soft Poached egg and briefly sauteed asparagus.
Peaches, raspberries and blueberries ( not wild cuz I'm poor) with organic full fat yogurt.

YUM YUM YUM!
off to work
