As summer is approaching, more and more people start to crave for some ice-cream on a warm afternoon. Here is a simple recipe for your own homemade ice-cream to enjoy for the summer.

After last week’s failure to investigate Crepes & Cravings, MJ and I finally managed to pay this little store a much-deserved visit. Before I start, I would like to apologize for the lack of pictures – we got a little caught up with eating and talking and then we forgot… but we will definitely remember…
1. Canada Day: As July 1 dawns every year, I get to experience overzealous and extremely patriotic Canadians, fun parades in Canmore and Banff, fireworks and having insults aimed at me by those who have found a little too much comfort at the bottom of the bottle on this annual holiday. 2.
