Niagara Falls!

Have you ever said to yourself, "One of these days I'd like to see Niagara Falls?"  If so: Do it.  It's awesome.

Yum

We had some great food in Toronto, including:

Poutine (google it) at Smoke's (pictured)

Amazing amazing ribs at the Canadian National Exposition

Delicious chorizo, butter tarts, and sourdough bread at St. Lawrence Market

Thai food at a Hungarian-Thai restaurant in Kennsington Market

Canadian bacon sandwiches, of course, also at St. Lawrence Market

Cornish pasties and ginger cake in the Distillery District

Lettuce wraps with braised pork shoulder in Queens West

And, also at the Canadian National Exposition, the most decadent dishes of all, from a stand that served nothing but dishes with Nutella on them: one fantastic concoction with fried banana, peanut butter, strawberries, and Nutella -- and then, believe it or not, jalapeno poppers filled with cream cheese and, yes, topped with Nutella sauce.  It was good. 

Oh Canada!

I want to quickly post some pictures and impressions from our great Canada trip before fall obligations overwhelm us all.

The Perfect Accompaniment to Our Toads

Is, of course, a robot!  Built by Jonathan.

One more shot of our Big Guy.  I love the light and color in this photo.

Our Summer Guests

These two handsome fellows are our guests for the summer.  They are fed beetles and worms caught in our backyard.  They enjoy sitting on rocks, and were quite civilized about letting me bring my phone into the terrarium to take a few pictures.
