- A local farmers-like market
- The English speakers community arts and craft fair(They're new to me)
- The Marche-Eco on isle Saint-Bernard.
Pepper Jam - Yummy
At the craft fair, I found a nice lady, Treasa Kenny, who did Jams. She's local from St-remi, and had a nice selection of homemade jams. I fell for the hot pepper apricot - has the tartness of the apricot jam, the heat of the peppers and retained a good pepper taste. The company is we bee jammin - no web site (yet) but you can get in touch @ 450-454-4808.
The Marche Eco on the island allowed to find out much more about the history of the island (the original setlement back in the 1700's) and meet with some local merchants.
Bird feeders
One merchant, Francois Frappier, had an excelent display of birdfeeders and feeding stations. We have a few Blue jays that visit us - so we were trying to figure what we could do to get them to hang around. The varing models allowed for the smaller birds to feed without being crowded out by the larger birds - pretty cool. also given were tips on keeping the squirells out. Not only is Francois pationate about the ffeders but birds as well. His web site is full of local birdwatching outings as well as a good look at the products he puts together. These products were spotted all over the reserver on the island.
Beer - its what for supper.
Found a new Brewer that I had not seen at the Mondial - brasseur de montreal - though they were there. They had on hand their standard 6 pack as well as a new one - The Mexican - which is one of the "hint of lime" beers. I found that one a little too light (not enough beer taste - but I am fan of stouts) - but the "Lodon Ruby" was realy good a nice brown ale. Close to work - and they are a brew pub - need to talk to the social comitee !!
That was it for the weekend outings. 'till next time.
