Happy 2010

Another year has come and gone...well, almost gone. Just a few hours to go before we herald in the new one.

We actually just got back from spending most of the holidays with friends and family in Toronto and, believe it or not, I don't have one photo to show for it. Which does not mean we didn't enjoy the company and many of the fantastic food treats the city has to offer.

In fact we did much travelling around the world...Indian butter chicken roti at Mother India on Queen West - unbelievable!; Vietnamese & Thai (pho & pad Thai) at Pho Phoung (Dundas & Brock); Portuguese custard tarts at the Portuguese Bakery in Little Portugal and more Portuguese Churrasco chicken further north; Italian lunch at Terroni on trendy Queen West- now I'm sorry I didn't buy any pepperoncini in lovely glass jars. But I did get some awesome Saigon Cinnamon that smells like those spicy cinnamon candies and some fennel pollen that's equally intense at my favorite Spice Trader also on Queen W.

Trust me, everything was as delicious as I remembered...as was dinner at my cousin's - she's an awesome cook; take out Chinese at our friends' because she broke her ankle and we just stayed in, ate and caught up.

Those are some of the highlights. Sorry no photos, but I promise to do better in the new year.

I wish you and yours a very healthy - make sure you're eating healthfully - that's definitely one of my resolutions; prosperous - lottery or not, I wish you all you wish for - in 2010.
