The Girl and I are going on a trip to Ottawa for Canad’Eh. It’s an escape from the madness that is Québec’s July 1st Moving Day, as well as an opportunity to meet the others’ friends and classmates. This trip itself worked out to be a bit of a coincidence; I had been planning to visit The Son since January and she was supposed to celebrate the first with her cooking pals. Given that she’s in charge of driving us there, it’s only fitting that I’m in charge of keeping us fueled.

I figured this would be as good a time as any to start my entry for ReciPenpals, since I’d be in a bit of a time crunch until the 14th. How would I make an elaborate veggie tart fit into my life?
