A whale watching hiatus!
Dear faithful readers (yes, all 3 of you :P),
I am writing live from a wonderful place upper north of Quebec called Charlevoix. I will be on a hiatus until further notice because I am currently on a whale hunt! Not to kill but to observe. This trip will be a memorable one because it's my first time going on a whale watch and I do hope to catch a sight or two of belugas or perhaps the endangered blue whale near the coasts of Charlevoix where the great St. Lawrence river and the Atlantic Ocean meets!
Apparently it is the best time of the year to be whale watching because the weather is not too cold but the waters is still freezing and is thus perfect for whale watching. The whales usually swim against the currents to feed and it is this time of the year that they feed and bulk up.
To be quite honest, I haven't exactly been eating excellent food at all since I got here. It's the usual eggs, bacon and ham for breakfast and meats and potatoes for lunch or dinner. It's pretty boring gastronomy if you ask me. BUT i did get to taste some excellent cheese and will probably buy one of the 400 available cheeses in that region when I get back! Oh, they eat meat pies as breakfast here too, which I thought was rather heavy but I had it twice so far because they're included in their breakfast platters!
Alrighty, I'll post more about the trip +pix when I get back but till then, i'm on a whale watching hiatus!

hahah...getting bored with eggs, bacon breakfast and meats ,potatoes right? How you wish there is some nasi lemak or rice with anything curry right?
Enjoy yourself, ya :D
Don't forget to try the poutine while you're in Quebec! Yum!!
Have a great trip!
tigerfish: Man, i'd kill for a nasi lemak right now. Just had toasts, bacon, scrambled eggs and sausages again .....-__-
wokandspoon: Oh babe, i live in Montreal. Poutine could be a daily affair for me but the thought of consuming 1 pound of butter per meal is the only thing holding me back haha!
What exactly do whales have to do with the kitchen bitches??
Anonymous: wtf?
