Suggaring off, gluten-free style

My oldest daughter Évelyne, who is now 4 1/2 years old, has Celiac’s disease. Because of this illness, she cannot eat more commercial food, including of course going to the restaurant. Well, we got a nice treat today as an italian restaurant called Ottavio that has a location in Laval and recently opened a second location in Saint-Laurent organized a gluten-free sugar shack style lunch! We had a chance to eat all of the traditional dishes, including pea soup, pancakes, beans, eggs, potatoes. It was very delicious and very nice not to have to bring food for the kids for once. They have a gluten-free as part of their regular menu so we will definitely have to go back.

Getting into podcasting

Podcasts interested me for some time now. I’ve had an iPod for about four years now. However, the first one that I had was a 2GB model which barely had enough space to hold my personal music while the second one was much larger (16 GB), but I never really had time to listen to my music, let alone podcasts, with all of my travel.

Now that travel has calmed down, I started searching through all of  the Podcasts available in iTunes and have found quite a few interesting musical adventures. Here is a list of them, in case you’re interested in discovering something new:

• The Chillcast with Anji Bee: With her sexy voice and a ton of great music, Anji Bee makes me discover interesting music and just makes time fly with great smooth beats.
• Dave’s Lounge: A podcast with great ryhmic yet not distracting music
• The Irish and Celtic Music Podcast: Satisfies my thirst for Celtic music every week
