I have been travelling of late, which is one of the reasons why my posts are a bit chaotic of late. Today, I managed to get away with a camera and take some shots of the city of Montréal. This is one of Canada‘s oldest cities and will be celebrating its 375th soon!
Specifically I had the opportunity to walk through the Vieux-Port area of the city. There is a lot of beautiful architecture, churches, museums and street performers to find there. For potential inspiration, I felt it would be nice to post some shots from my travels.
I was out at a cabin when one of my guests brought in some scallops. Since I had some mushrooms, onions and garlic, I combined the ingredients to create this dish. This recipe is quick and easy to make and requires only one pan. Necessity really is the mother of invention!

This is one of my favourite side dishes that uses an outdoor grill. The#Corn is wrapped in foil to stay warm while guests eat their meals (or return for seconds). This recipe prepares one, simply repeat for each ear of corn.
I was playing around with my camera, intent on creating a featured image for another post. However, when I looked at the finished product it got me thinking. I know! Rather dangerous for an author!
‘Creating a Cake’ by Evelyn Chartres
During a flash of creative inspiration, the world I see is both pristine and clear. I could spend weeks writing that scene in all of its exquisite detail. How is that a problem? Like a lightning strike at night, details vanish as soon as they appear.
When looking at the shot, it sets the scene for someone collecting items and ingredients needed to bake a cake. In the picture there are ingredients, a tablet displaying the recipe, candles for later and even some serving plates.
However, once the flash is gone the minds rendition is no longer vibrant. In this case, the richness of reds have bled out from the shot. There is also a lack of detail and the image is cropped in such a way to prevent viewers from getting a sense of the bigger picture.
Like any story there are also inconsistencies or plot holes. How could someone make a cake without eggs, butter or vanilla extract? Why is a candle lit even though the cake is not ready?
Only after extensive reviews, reader input and hard work will author’s rendition approximate the original flash of inspiration. The reds will be more vibrant, the scene will sport a delicious cake that will make readers drool.
To think you can just taste that thick icing and marble cake… Wait? It was Maple Syrup cake originally!
