Synonyms for Patti, when spelled 'patty': pie, pasty, pastry, & meat pie. Pastry seems the most favourable. A dish could refer to a meal... but also implies "what's the latest dish?" Pastry's Dish updates the latest dish in my life as well as brings to light important aspects of my life.

Ottawa again ... and yes, it was awesome!
I went to Ottawa again in February. And, yes, it was awesome! And the only pics I took were of the fantastic Indian food (with exception to this elephant)! I didn't even take pics of the wonderful person I shared the meal with and much of the weekend with! That took restraint! haha. Even when the waiter offered to take our picture, I didn't pass off my camera to get a picture. And maybe that was the best choice. I aim to live in the moment when I can and enjoy each moment, but maybe the camera gets in the way sometimes. I love taking pictures but conversation flowed, we laughed, we tasted, dare I say we indulged. There was no need to take pictures of us enjoying the time together. Although, don't get me wrong ... next time I want a picture together. :D But only if it seems like it's a good thing and not getting in the way of being in the moment. Maybe it can be adding to the moment in some situations.
The food ... the BUTTER CHICKEN!!! Let's face it, the food was all amazing, but this was the star! This is what stands out in my mind! I can picture the caramel-like colour (without looking at the picture). I can taste the buttery goodness. And can feel the texture of the tender chicken in my mouth. Better butter chicken than I've ever had!
Oh, and the garlic naan... mmm ...
The frozen hands and legs were well worth it for this food!
Ottawa was so worth it! It was a time of connecting, having fun, exploring possibilities, learning ... and I look forward to more times like this!

Interesting facts about me: I have lived in 5 different towns/cities and 3 different countries. I grew up in the country but have come to love the city. I have a rare medical condition called Geroderma Osteodysplastica. I got my Masters of Occupational Therapy in 2005 to gain the skills set to work in areas that I am passionate about - advocacy, mental health, social justice and accessibility. Since then, I have worked in various capacities within these areas.
