Today's kitchen concoction: homemade vermut (vermouth). Inspired from our food and drink adventures on our honeymoon in Spain last year, where we enjoyed a particularly delicious bottle of vermut de casa we picked up in an enchanting bottle shop in Haro, Rioja. Made even more memorable when we enjoyed it over rocks, with a sea view from our balcony at the divine Hotel Silken Palacio Uribarren Lekeitio, in the Basque. We'll see how my inaugural batch of my vermut de casa turns out after it steeps for a couple of weeks. I made notes as to the bit of this and a little of that of herbs spices, florals and fruit I added as it seems to be an art to get the mix to one's liking.

Northwind is looking a little naked. Sad to see the boating season end but it was a good, sunny day in the fresh air getting the stick down in preparation of her winter hibernation. . . . .... . #yachting #boating #lakeside #dockside #sailinglife #CS30 #Toronto #lakeontario #sailboat #thanksgiving See more

Sometimes the light hits just right... . I was as at my mother's home the other day when I noticed how the autumnal sun, lower in the sky, was striking one of her striking orchids just perfectly. It's can be the little things in the day that can be the most uplifting. . .... . . . #inspired #orchids #flowers #houseplants #gardening #instagood #instalove #mothers See more
