I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible.

My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984.

After 10pm, they offer a menu at $22 of fine offerings so reasonably priced i was outright astounded. Because Damon and i were heading [...]

Restaurant Review: Reservoir’s Breakfast

Walking through the downtown core and into the Plateau on Sunday, we were half-convinced some world-important event had occured that kept everyone chained to the TVs inside their houses. We were wrong, and the crowd in The Reservoir at noon when we arrived proved it. However, a table for two was not hard to come [...]

La Cantina: Restaurant Review

The accounting department and I went to La Cantina, located at 9090 St. Laurent for lunch on Friday. I was overjoyed to see a real, cloth tablecloth without even a slate of glass over the top. This early sign of some “old-school” service did not lead my expectations astray. The chairs were comfortable, the decor [...]
