sauf que... j'aime le gâteau aux carottes. Nous ne sommes pas à une contradiction près!
I don't like carrots, except that... I like carrot cake. A bit of an oxymoron.

En quittant la maison, nous avons bifurqué vers Knowlton plutôt que North Hatley. Ce devait être ce drôle de vent, un peu comme un mistral... un vent chaud et sec du Sud, un vent qui énerve... En fait, c'était l'idée obsédante d'un certain carrot cake qui nous attirait.
When we left the house, we bee-lined for Knowlton rather than North Hatley. It must have been that strange wind, a bit like the mistral... a southerly dry and hot wind, a wind that disturbs... Or rather, it was an obsession for some carrot cake that drove us.

Quoique, vous conviendrez avec moi que l'atmosphère de la salle à dîner est assez conviviale et champêtre... J'habite une des plus belles régions au Canada.
Although, you have to agree with me that this dining room is quite convivial and country-like. I have to live in one of the most beautiful regions of Canada.

Et le samedi soir, le chef prépare sa côte de boeuf Angus. Un plus que délice!
And Saturday nights, the chef prepares his Angus prime rib. More than delicious!

Mais le carrot cake! Non, je n'ai pas de recette à vous proposer. La seule recette que j'ai à vous donner c'est d'aller y faire un tour le samedi soir pour la côte de boeuf, ou le dimanche pour les grillades, ou ... ou... (non je ne suis pas sponsorisée - j'ai la mauvaise habitude de dire ce que je pense, surtout lorsque c'est favorable).

But the carrot cake! No, I have no recipe for it. The only recipe I can give you is to go to Le Relais on Saturday night, for the prime rib, or Sunday, for the barbecue, or... or... (nope, I'm not sponsored by them - I just have a bad habit of saying what I think, especially when it's positive.)

Un trajet dans la campagne verdoyante. L'heure bleue est sans doute le moment de la journée que je préfère... Deux fois par jour, au petit matin et à la tombée de la nuit, l'atmosphère se teinte d'une lueur bleue avant de...
A drive in the lush green countryside. What in French is called «l'heure bleue» (the blue hour) is undoubtedly the time of day I prefer... Twice a day, at daybreak and at nightfall, the air takes on a blue hue before it...

What beautiful countryside! I never heard of the blue hour. I know what you're talking about though. I just love sunrise and sunset. They are the most beautiful times of the day.
The restaurant looks like fun! Oh, I do love carrot cake! What a beautiful presentation of the food!
