Like a kid in a candy store

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

Many moons ago Ottawa Magazine asked me if I’d be interested in answering a few questions about my favourite neighborhood for a special “Neighborhoods” edition. There was a quick interview and a very fun photoshoot with the talented Jessica Deeks, and then I promptly forgot about it. Check out this wee write up on Jessica’s website. I’m there along with some other Ottawa folks. I look BEYOND THRILLED to be eating that gelato eh? You’d think I’d never had ice cream before. Cracks.Me.Up. (FYI, this edition will be on newsstands in the spring.)

Can’t wait to read! You look great! I see nothing wrong with a grin that big when one is about to eat gelato.

Thank you Brenda! It was a fun shoot, and the gelato was delish. :)

Yum! This is my favourite treat spot in Ottawa, but it is hard to fit in my budget. So I just have gelato for lunch. You need a give away for this gem!

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
