It’s a long weekend–Canada Day–and it’s crazy hot this weekend. I think we could actually cook outside without the grill. It can reach a point sometimes when it’s actually too hot to eat, and I think we’re there this week. This week we are sticking to fresh, light flavours, nothing too heavy. We are spending Canada Day with friends, so I have no idea what we’re having, but I would like to take the opportunity the wish you a Happy Canada Day! Every day I am thankful for living in the best country in the world, a truly welcoming melting pot of cultures that has allowed me to explore a world of food without having to leave. Although we do leave sometimes because travel is good for the soul.
