October 1 2023

January. Andrea went to Bangladesh for work, with stops in Dubai before and Zurich afterwards.

February. Only a few photos for the month, with Andrea skating on the canal with her parents and sister.

April. April was a bit busier, with Andrea knitting me a bear and visiting Gatineau Park with Andrea’s family.

May. The month saw the standard “opening weekend” for the cottage.

June. We did the Ottawa Race Weekend (just the 5K), got to meet Baby Laura (Sebastien’s daughter), celebrated my birthday on our deck, and went to Wakefield by steam train.

July. We were a lot busier this month, now that summer had arrived. We did the standard cottage weekend, but we also did a two-week trip to Gaspé region, starting with Sageunay.

Day 04 Saguenay

August. We continued being busy again, with GG’s 80th birthday, a wedding of two friends (Tim and Michelle), and a trip to New York for work, with some fun personal stuff on the side for Andrea and I, like visiting the Central Park Zoo.

September. Andrea turned 30 this month, and I put a photo album together for her with photos from friends and family. But she was away for her actual birthday, on a work trip to Pakistan, flying en route through England.

October. We went to Gatineau Park this month for the fall colours, and for fun, completed a digital scavenger hunt for a friend’s birthday.

November. We did a Remembrance Day potluck again, Andrea was back to knitting a hat, and we saw people kayaking in the Ottawa River near Island Park Drive.

December. Ah, the final month, and time for Andrea to take another trip to Pakistan. Oh, and we did some Christmas stuff too when she got back.

    Sweet Chicken Curry Slow-Cooked with Mango ChutneyJune 16, 2026
    Sweet Chicken Curry: This was an adaptation from a diet recipe book for slow cookers, and was a pretty easy recipe (particularly using the slow cooker, but also just the limited number of items to chop / dice / slice). And the mango chutney is really the key to the sweet taste. I wasn't a big fan of chutney before, but it is awesome here.

    Chocolate Chip Caramel Rolls: I snagged the base for this recipe from a "Taste of Home Fall Baking - Fresh from the Oven" cookbook. My first real attempt at a baking recipe, part of a new goal for myself.
