sky was filled with the most magnificent cloud formations,
backlit by the sun. The dinner party was held at La Molisana,
a family restaurant in the heart of Ahuntsic.
'Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general
observation – the test of a first-rate intelligence is the
ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time,
and still retain the ability to function.' ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
When her Grandparents journeyed from the outskirts of Gaspé
and landed in a quaint, picturesque neighbourhood bordering
Montreal-North, along with their 7 daughters and one son,
they settled in Ahuntsic.
They have called that area home since the 50s', and have
all evolved into their own very different and special individuals,
and for some in that same environs.
From the beginning one of the activities that brought them
together, as a family, was dinner at that eatery. I felt it
was apropos that she celebrate such a milestone soirée at
this storied establishment that carried such history for the
Couture family.
'And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.
It's the life in your years.' ~ Abraham Lincoln
The food was delicious, well-presented and mouth watering.
Every dish was a chef-d'oeuvre. The liveliness and ambiance
were unparalleled and the entertainment top tier.
Our beautiful and talented Godchild, Chanel, who is our very
own Adele in-the-making, provided the entertainment. She belted
out her rendition of 'Aleluhia Acapella', with that magnificent,
Angelic voice. Hearts melted and minds imploded of the forty
family members and close friends who were present, including
those lucky patrons who were present by happenstance. The girl
brought the house down!
'To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds
our life.' ~ Pablo Neruda
