See Sip Taste Hear is my running love letter to food, drink, place, and the beautiful chaos of being alive with an appetite.
I cook, I taste, I travel, I get lost in markets, and I write it all down the same way I tell stories at the table — with a little sass, a little cheek, and a whole lot of sensory obsession. Expect recipes that don’t take themselves too seriously, restaurant reviews with actual honesty, and travel notes soaked in sunshine, spice, and questionable decisions.

Photo essay: 1st Official Picnic of 2006.
2001 Schmitt Söhne Riesling Auslese
The goods. Hard salami & herbed brie with crostinnis.
We also had olives & pickled veggies, fresh apples & strawberries & salt & pepper potato chips.
Yes! I love it! Ice is melting up here but lots of ugly gravel still remains. Until things look better I will live vicariously through you. (Coincidentally, I have exactly the same plastic wine goblets as you so I really could almost taste that Riesling on my lips). Seeing all this is inspiring me. I hope to get some recent photos out and scan them in (nope, no ditigal camera of my own). So far, I've been braving the winter by posting my Picnicsin Paris images. They're nothing like the photo essay you've assembled though. As for the puns, well... I like those too! Keep servin'em up! I see that your montage "How to picnic in three easy steps" goes "La-La-La". More tricky wordplay?
When does it get warm in Montreal? I would love to live up north, I am thinking. We were killing mosquitoes last week...I can't imagine the bugs we will have in June (we are in the Deeeeeep South by the way, Memphis, TN). We had a really mild Winter, so I am betting we have a relentless Summer. It was bad enough last year. So we will enjoy the spring as much as possible.
*lol* on the "LA, LA, LA"!
We are thinking about going by CoLa, like Bennifer, or Brangelina. I don't think La is enthusiastic about it as I am though. -Collin
