About me

Gender Female
Location Québec City, QC, Canada
Introduction I am the maman. The mother. And I am also the gourmande. A person who loves to eat. In short, I am a food-savouring mom who also happens to love cooking and has a wonderful toddler son and loving husband who share the same joy of food.
Interests Reading(a lot), photography(street and portrait shots mainly), backpacking and travelling, meeting new people even if they are my grandparent's age, cooking with a punch, recently backing as well, swimming(breaststroke only), tennis(actually swinging the racket besides picking up the balls), jogging around central park(and checking out the occasional hunks), eating in newly discovered/open restaurants and hole-in-wall places, watching movies(and bawling my eyes out), and did I mention eating already? Mmm....
Favorite Movies American History X, Spirited Away, All about my Mother, Hotel Rwanda, The Blue Planet documentary series, Something's Gotta Give, City of God, Bridget Jones's Diary (I & II), Crash, Labyrinth, Le Visitor, Being John Malkovich and much more!
