So a sugar shack hosted by Quebec's award winning chef Martin Picard is undoubtedly pure magic. Reservations are made by e-mail only, 4 months in advance. Rumour has it that the seats sell out within the first hour. Having had the privilege of attending the first sugar shack of the season, I present to you the inside scoop (menu and photos) of this legendary epicurean affair.]]> http://seesimi.com/supreme-sugar-shacking-au-pied-de-cochon/feed/ 1 http://seesimi.com/30-by-30-canada/ http://seesimi.com/30-by-30-canada/#comments Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:07:15 +0000 Sita http://seesimi.com/?p=1578 This is it! In just under a month, I will stop being a fun-loving 20-something year old and start a new decade in my life. It will also mark the end of my travel goal. Here's a quick recap of the countries I visited in my pursuit to visit 30 countries by my 30th birthday. COUNTRY No. 1 - CANADA.

A little off the beaten path, about two hours east of Quebec City, you'll find one of my favorite places on the planet. Beluga whales, delicious cuisine, stunning fjords, and emerald green pastures are but a few things that make me dream of the Charlevoix region. ]]> http://seesimi.com/charlevoix/feed/ 1 http://seesimi.com/la-route-des-vins-quebec/ http://seesimi.com/la-route-des-vins-quebec/#comments Mon, 25 Oct 2010 12:11:48 +0000 Sita http://seesimi.com/?p=1062 We left at 9:30 am to head out towards the Eastern Townships for the day.  It took about an hour to do the pick-ups, coffee run and general organization before we could get onto the highway.  The Champlain Bridge was packed with people trying to get out of the city.  It was the construction, however, that really slowed the drive.
