In solidarity with the #amplifymelanatedvoices movement created by @jessicawilson.msrd and @blackandembodied I will not be sharing any of my own content on feed or stories between now and June 7th. This will be a time to amplify the voices of Black People and POC. This will be a time to reflect and learn and listen.

Yesterday’s glamour shot. I once briefly toyed with the idea of having glamour shots taken at Sears - complete with a feather boa, blue eyeshadow and something sequined - and then handing out headshots with contact information to men I found attractive at bars or restaurants. Although Sears no longer exists in Canada, should I still follow through on this idea? Maybe @laurakelly.co can help me with the shoot. .

As summer temps finally hit Ottawa this week, I thought this would be the perfect time to feature this show-stopping summer dessert: Peach Bourbon Biscuit Cobbler. Don’t get me wrong, the biscuits are a labour of love, but what else are you doing with your time? And you will be pleased you made the effort when you sample the finished product.

Today is #worldcocktailday and I’m marking the occasion with my usual installment of #virtualhappyhour and throwing it back to this Tiki drink featuring my all-time favourite drinking vessel. The Monk’s Respite is a Tiki drink that doesn’t use rum. A refreshing combination of gin, Chartreuse, coconut water, honey syrup, lemon and orange bitters. Pictured here in this Kokeshi doll Tiki mug from Benihana of Tokyo that I picked up on @etsy .
.
Monk’s Respite

.
- 3 oz coconut water
- 1 ½ oz gin
- ½ oz lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- ¼ oz yellow Chartreuse
- ¼ oz honey syrup
- 1 oz seltzer
- 1 dash orange bitters
.
.
- Add all ingredients except seltzer to a cocktail shaker with crushed ice and 4-6 whole ice cubes, shake, open pour into an empty young coconut shell or Tiki mug. Top with seltzer.

Anyone else miss their colorist and hair stylist something fierce? Longing for the inky lustre of a fresh colour - I’m going to be dirty blonde by the time this is over. Send help or hats.

Next stop on my virtual trip down memory lane is taking me back to the Alhambra in Granada, Spain which I visited back in 2015 and where I marveled at the intricate craftsmanship adorning every surface. Where do you want to travel next? .

Thanks to my friends @cheersamericanspirits for inviting me to participate in a fantastic virtual tasting of four unique American whiskeys last night.

The session inspired me to whip up this modern classic cocktail using @woodfordreserve. .

I don’t know about you guys but my diet has been decidedly light on greens since we started this whole self-isolation game. I’m venturing out for groceries today and am going to be stocking up on all the ingredients to make this Chickpea Taco Salad from the blog archives. Honestly, this is one of the best damn salads I’ve ever made. Search for the recipe on my blog, link in bio.

As we head into week 7 of #physicaldistancing I’m daydreaming about destinations outside the 700 square feet of my condo. I’ve been flipping through photos from past travels to help satisfy my wanderlust for the time being. I snapped this shot of my friend Dianne in 2018 while exploring the beautiful blue city of Chefchaouen, Morocco.

My submission for the @cocktailkingdom at-home coc

My submission for the @cocktailkingdom at-home cocktail contest is this variation on the classic Sidecar. Named “Isaac Newton’s A-Ha Moment” because this apple brandy concoction is a better revelation than the discovery of gravity. .

- 1/2 oz lemon juice
- 1 oz honey syrup
- 1 egg white

As you are likely aware, I have been making a new cocktail daily on #virtualhappyhour. This creation from Wednesday is my new favourite cocktail and made an entire bottle of rosé disappear pretty quickly. Head over to the blog to get more glamour shots of this drink and my reflections on how this global pandemic is bringing the men from my past out of the woodwork. Link in bio. .

Ottawa is the coldest capital on the planet this morning but I’m tricking myself into thinking it’s spring with these fresh flowers from Bloomfields. They instantly brighten my mood whenever I glance at them and give me a feeling of hope that some day soon it will be warm and we won’t be trapped in our homes. .

Dining Room Reveal! 🚨 It’s been “table for one” for the last 6 weeks but I’m already daydreaming about all the dinner parties I’m going to throw as soon as we’re done with #physicaldistancing. I transformed this sad and underused den into my dining room - drawing inspiration for the space from my vintage Barilla poster from @laffichiste in Montreal. Swipe ⬅️ for the dramatic before and after transformation. Head over to the blog for more photos and full product details! .
