"If every product containing corn or soybeans were removed from your grocery store, it would look more like a hardware store. Alarmingly, the lightbulbs might be naked, since many packaging materials also now contain cornstarch."

My first "clip" pedal ride took me from the south shore, to Fort Chambly, along the Richelieu river, through the farms of St. Phillipe and back across the escalade bride 6hours later in the pouring rain. A long, somewhat exhausting ride, about 125 KM in total, a new level in endurance for my aging self :-).

The summer round of dinners now includes Lafayette's - a classic on the edge of the Village, "gooey" pizza and possibly the largest plate of poutine I have seen (all at one table ....ooph) was the pitcher of beer really a good idea gang?? Here's a great description from an older CTV piece:
"LAFAYETTE'S RESTAURANT HAS BEEN HERE AT THE CORNER OF STE-CATHERINE EAST & CARTIER FOR 30 YEARS. IT'S A GREASY SPOON IN A GRIMEY AREA OF THE CITY. AND A SURVIVOR."

'nuff said.
