  1. Checking out the newly opened Duggan's Brewery at Victoria and Richmond. The taste of porter & stout mingling with the smell of fresh paint.
  2. Grabbing free prmotional samples of KD from some nice young girls at Queen subway station. Keen to sample this Canadian institution!
  3. @uli sounds like you have more snow than us at the moment.
  4. Grateful to Mother India in Parkdale for satisfying my dosa craving when @udupipalaceTO seemed too far away for a relaxed Monday dinner.
  5. @TOfoodie surely that's what @foursquare is for.
  6. Off to Nerdgasm courtesy of @ComedyTO and @ashok.
  7. Drinking Skid Marks brown ale. Tastes much better than it sounds, honest!
  8. Going to Great Lakes' Project X for festive drinking.
  9. Watching little fluffy flakes of snow drift down onto Hayden and Church.
  10. Brewing tea for @ashok after he carried home a 7 foot Christmas tree almost single-handedly (my arms are so weak) from St. Lawrence market.
  11. I particularly like the portrait of Elizabeth I with a ruddy great beaver Photoshopped in http://queenandbeaverpub.ca/
  12. In a Torontonian British pub for the first time. I've avoided scary expat chain pubs covered in Union flags but the Queen & Beaver is cool.
  13. @peshwengi the Canadians call a bloody Mary made with Clamato a Caeser. One of my colleagues asked for it in the US and got blank stares.
  14. Listening to Viennese waltzes in the back of a cab. Makes a good soundtrack to the twirling Carlton streetcars - the red seems festive today
  15. Waiting for the ferry to transport me into @ashok's arms.
  16. Finishing my last uninspiring conference canteen lunch and heading out to Midway. Hope the snow holds off for the next few hours. Home soon
  17. Discovering that Clamato is a real Canadian drink not just a joke from the Simpsons. Causing confusion in a bar on our last night in Chicago
  18. Stretching after the first period. So far one goal from the Blackhawks, no fights and several appearances by girls in skimpy outfits. Fun!
  19. Going to my first (ice) hockey game. Blackhawks versus the Blue Jackets. Have warned my colleagues that I will ask many ignorant questions.
  20. We just finished the first Toronto November without snow since 1937. Nice gentle introduction to Canadian winter for a newcomer like me.
