Cheese Tarts and Marriage Lies
July 9, 2019
Armando and I were elated when Bake49 opened in Yaletown. Could these cheese tarts that were being sold in downtown Vancouver, Canada be as good as the ones that unexpectedly set foot in our lives a couple years back when Armando and I travelled to Japan?

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to spend some time with family in Manitoba. It was great to have a chunk of time to spend with them.
