Le grouiller de la nuit
La Bouchée
I’ve been asked
many times for recommendations regarding fine dining in
Toronto, and I must say, that the "place du
nuit" really depends upon one’s palate.
Personally, I have found downtown to be a tad too raw,
and whilst dining in the area surrounding University has
much more "joie de vivre" to it, I still prefer
those little known “out of the way” places. But
then one is never truly sure from whence the next meal
cometh, is one?
Les mystères de la nuit
There are many
dangers in the dark, dear reader. Some of them tangible,
and some of them intangible. But the most dangerous thing
in the night, is the unknown: That which disguises its
appearance, and can be quite deceiving to the untrained
eye. It is just such unknown gremlins which have
voracious appetites. Do beware when venturing out mes
enfants, the mysteries of the night are sometimes best
left alone.
L’Enfant terrible
Parenting, mes amis, is
somewhat akin to an eternal nightmare. Try though you
may, you will never make your children happy. And even
worse, from the moment they are born, they will own you
for as long as you exist. My advice to any of you who is
contemplating becoming a parent is quite simple:
Don’t.
Le Cœur ennuyeux
It is always best to
maintain a heart of stone. Nothing gets in, nothing gets
out. Life is neat and clean that way. Love, caring and
vulnerability are for the foolish and misdirected among
us. It never pays. One can open his heart to another,
only to find betrayal and pity staring back at him. And
in the end, it can lead to only one thing; pain. Say no
to love; you’ll find more solace in old nursery
rhymes about sugar and spice and everything nice, than
you’ll ever find in the heart of another.
Ce regard du certaine
Last but not least, mes
enfants, is a word on the importance of garnering a look.
One’s chosen flavour of appearance, makes a
statement in and of itself. It does not matter what
one’s look of choice be, as long as one has made a
conscious effort to develop a style. I am of the opinion,
that one can never go wrong with black. Simple, elegant,
and carries a slight air of intimidation, which so often
comes in handy. After all, it has been said by many that
the clothes make the man. Although in some cases,
I’m inclined to think that it could perhaps be the
eyebrows.....
