Hello and welcome!

I live in Montreal, Quebec, and my first language is French.

May I insist on the fact that I love getting comments?

Popularity can be perplexing

I find my all-time most read Top 5 posts so strange and funny... Probably because, they couldn't be more random, and are not at all representative of this blog as a whole?

Number 1: Poutine (This is the most popular BY FAR. Like, 10 times more pageviews than number 2, 20 times more pageviews than number 3, and so on. Why?????)

Number 2: Kitschy French music (Really? Although I do remember one time being really puzzled by these Arabic characters that came up in the google searches people did to end up on my blog. And I was so surprised when I put them through babelfish, and they simply meant: Carla Bruni. Ha!)

Number 3: Alice in Wonderland (My friend E whose wedding it was I was working on will probably be amused to read that). 

Number 4: Anti-cancer recommendations (I have Jamie to thank for this one...)

Number 5: Non-white wedding shoes



I'm not exactly sure what to think of this. Hmm.

Now that we've apparently got all of Montreal's cold weather, I wouldn't mind some poutine, with a side of kitschy French music!

I just clicked over to see the shoes one since that is before I knew you. I love some of the shoes on there.

Très hétéroclite, en effet. et je suis ravie d'en faire partie ;-)

I had similar thoughts when I saw my 5 most popular posts of all time. The top one is about my spice storage, and since I have a food blog, that makes sense. Ditto for the post on Montreal cupcake stores. But the one about my household so far (husband, gecko and dog), my purse that I couldn't replace to my satisfaction and "croûtons cheddar and bacon" - more popular than ANY of my English recipes? Really?!?

I think it's all about Google:).
