Pasta lupinos

In a village with fake, touristy food, this small nondescript Italian restaurant serves amazing pasta for a great price.

Lost ski

My right ski keeps on dislodging. This time it is hidden under a layer of powder. Fun times

Lost.

Peak to peak

The birds like resting on skiers' poles.

Whistler

Beautiful british columbia

I arrived in Vancouver last night quite late (11pm) and at Charlie (Reese)'s displeasure chose to sleep instead of galavant for 5 measly hours. Downtown Vancouver has a toronto-like quality but the landscape changes quickly as you travel north. The hilly roads wind through some spectacular displays of nature. At every turn there seems to be a trio of lakes, forests and snowy mountains (the latter the reason for this reading week trip). The temperature was but 5 degrees that you could stroll at night without a jacket. It really seems like a wonderful place to live; I am envious of all those lucky enough to call this home.

Creme brasserie

This restaurant was recommended by the most dubious of sources but the one star on Toronto life calmed my fears. It is located in the heart of Yorkville, duly noted on the back the business card of my directionally challenged friend. The tomatoes, which lined my mussels and decorated her trout were a perfect balance of sweet and sour. All-in-all, a great recommendation on behalf of "some Asian forum".

Rapters

The redemptive part of a night was seeing a guy do a backflip.

Ki restaurant

Really good tapas style Japanese restaurant with a price tag to match. The deep fried butterfish roll was particularly appetizing.

Poor Thomas Lee could not find a counterparty

Olivea 9.99 lunch

Olivea's lunch ends at 2pm which is a nice hand-off to Chien noir whose midday menu begins at 2:30. Both are satisfying, cheap and fine European. I had the beef brisket today, which was strangely reminiscent of smoke's pulled pork. And I'll never understand why Olivea insists on mixing romaine with arugula. But nevertheless everything here is really quite well thought out.

Wooden heads make your own pizza

Goldilocks and the three bears

This is cute

Beretta farms Striploin.

Sipps

Disappointed they didnt stok the ice cram in the winter. The ice cream I went to over my Kingston bike ride. But nice desserts none the less.

Olivea

The parental units made a trip down. I was curiously full despite not eating for 24 hours and opted for the salad. Quite good.

Aqua terra birthday

It has become quite the tradition to go to aquaterra for my birthday. But the food this year was significantly worse than last year. The chicken was dry.

Scary shit
