I am so unbelievably happy to be back in Montréal.
Still, there are a few things that have been troubling me since my
return. The first is my
inability to find short stubby pine nuts. All I ever find here are
the semi translucent, anorexic nuts that smell like Plastecine.
My other anxiety is the growing number of stores that insist on
wrapping *all* their fresh vegetables in plastic wrap. Can someone
explain the reason for wrapping string beans in plastic?! see also
