Introducing Laura

I moved to Montreal in August 2008 in hopes of finding small cafes to drink coffee at and delicious bread. I was not let down, but I had a mix of pleasant surprises ad disappoitments foodwise. I really was thrilled by the new selection of food available to me and deeply let down by the loss of familiar foods,comforts, also sticker shock ($6.00 for Ben and Jerry's, seriously?!). Before I met Kay, I was wandering the streets of Montreal aimlessly looking for brunch, drinking gallons of green tea at home was confused by some Montrealer food conventions and spent way too much time in the Plateau, looking for food.
Now, I still aimlessly wonder the streets of Montreal, but I have a regular food buddy and with other friends we sometimes call ourselves Team Buffet, when we hit "all you can eat" sushi places. Kay has introduced me to various delicious black teas and between her, Dev and Maureen, my loose green teas have been feeling neglected.

I alternate between cooking new/tweaking old recipes, and dining out, so you'll see some of my kitchen creations as well as food forays. Philosophically, I enjoy fine dining and fastfood, fairly equally. Our appetites are scary, our palates somewhat on point, we are Foreign Foodies.
