March27/2019 12:50~ Unlimited Coffee Works! A spot of car trouble delayed our departure by an hour—but that’s an hour earlier than the mechanic thought!

That didn’t mean we wouldn’t stop for brunch, though! A tasty way to kick off our #paxeast2019 road trip!

(I had hot chocolate and one pancake, then had a second pancake from my friend, and split a caramel apple pie with Matt!)

2019/03/29 20h30: it took some detective work (none of what we remembered where useful keywords!) and a fair number of adventures, but Matt and I finally found and made it to this Italian restaurant we liked so much! Matt had tortellini, I had gnocchi, we both tried “broccolini” (Twas some mighty sizeable broccolini) and we split some vanilla gelato with caramel and chocolate. #thisShmooNoms #thisshmooattendsPAXeast2019 (at Sportello) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvovRpKFoc4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sxz9b35m1t26

17/06/2018: A belated celebration in honour of my achieving the gold “Top 1% of Rattata” medal for catching 300 tiny Rattata, as well as my early birthday party! Thanks, @nianticlabspokemongo for two great years of #pokemongo, and to my parents for 26 awesome years of life, and many thanks to Matt Darling for arranging such an excellent ice cream cake! #livingtheshmoolife #pokéblogginglikeashmoo #thisshmoonoms (at Ottawa, Ontario)

12/07/2018: ... I forgot to put the egg in. But! In one minute and twenty seconds (plus the twenty odd minutes of triple checking the recipe), I have a delightfully light and fluffy (and crumbly)—not to mention tasty—chocolate cake! #livingtheshmoolife #thisshmoonoms (at Ottawa, Ontario)

Celebrated mom’s birthday with high tea at the Château Laurier this afternoon—a wonderful time was had by all! #thisshmoonoms #livingtheshmoolife (at Fairmont Château Laurier)

We got to the Rideau end of the canal around 10:20, got ourselves to the Tea Party by 11 (cream tea for me—Windsor Castle and a warm scone!), and now we’re off to a raid by the NAG! #livingtheshmoolife #thisshmoonoms (at The Tea Party Cafe)

Returned to the flat at 17:10, unpacked the car, freshened up, and got ourselves back on the road in time to meet at an Asian restaurant, Damda, at 18h with an old friend of Matt's mom! I had Pad Thai and for dessert, apple crumble (and maybe a bite or two of the friend's nephew's brownie)! #tofrederictongoesthisshmoo #thisshmoonoms (at Damda)

In addition to the lovely sunset and great music, I enjoyed what is very possibly the best burger I've ever had. (The cinnamon roll and green tea weren't bad, either.) #roryandshmoogotrekking #thisshmoonoms (at Doryman Pub & Grill)
