Good Friday morning but afternoon from Toronto! It’s a grey wet morning here in the city, still warm though which is good. If the temperatures weren’t still in the mid twenties, I’d say it feels autumnal today.
I’m going to go for a swim and then do a little weekend getaway packing. As you all know I’m not a natural packer at all but I try harder these days. Last weekend we got to the resort and our room was on the 6th floor, no lifts and him in doors was not best pleased with my luggage! Oops.
I’m looking forward to getting away again as by Friday I get cabin fever here in the city apartment. After this weekend we have two weeks left before home and I think we will both be ready for the off.
This is predominantly a work trip not a holiday but it’s important that we make time to do our thing. I’m a bit tired of eating out (said no one except me) and so last night I made gf steak and onion baguettes! I used a smidge of maple syrup in the onions and it worked really well.
What I find here when airbnb’ing is that trying to home cook turns out to be expensive because I simply don’t have my store cupboard items to hand. So we eat out but that gets old very quickly. I think a we kinda do half and half most times.
It’s nice to get a break from cooking but if you are a half decent home cook, eating out is mostly disappointing these days. We’ve had some great meals out, especially pizza, which I don’t make at home, that’s his job! One thing that I do love is the sheer amount of choice I have Gluten Free wise here! It’s not just a little aisle, literally every normal product has a GF counterpart!
That I will miss.
Have a lovely Friday and I will catch up with you all on my trip!
