June 21, 2010Outdoor Research Tested by Magalie – Ferrosi Hoody Softshell: Repels wind and sweat
I come from Montreal but when I was 6, we moved to Mont-Rolland in the Laurentians, which is where I grew up. Knowing that, you’ll understand why I have a passion for the outdoors. I was surrounded by nature my entire childhood and today I spend as much time as possible partaking in activities that take me outside. I’m back in Montreal now and I’ve been working at Altitude-Sports.com for 3 years. My time outdoors has given me the opportunity to test many of the products we sell. Depending on the season, I love going for walks and bike rides during the week; I use weekends for snowboarding, snowshoeing, camping and treks. I recently took a course to get my hunting permit. Since the hunting season hasn’t started yet, I’ve been practising at a shooting range. I took advantage of that to try out my latest acquisition and share with you my experience.
I tested my Outdoor Research Women’s Ferrosi Hoody.

September 22, 2009Second Supper in Gaspésie: Lobster
In Gaspésie it’s an obligation to eat seafood, provided that you like that sort of thing. Who doesn’t like to tuck into a nice big, freshly caught lobster? We do, and certainly took maximum advantage of our situation. We tried, with our feet in water much too cold, to coax one into the cooler, but it was in vain…. After only a few seconds, we decided, due to our numb, swollen-red feet, to go to the nearby fish store and pick a monster out for ourselves. The choice wasn’t difficult as there were only lobsters in the tank. We’ve tried to cook them in all sorts of ways and our favourite is on the grill. This worked out well as we had brought one along with us!

August 24, 2009First Supper in Gaspésie: Chicken Tandoori
Gaspésie! Long hours in the car, magnificent maritime scenery, bona fide villages and people: this was what Philippe and I wanted on our journey. As we had decided to live from day to day without planning anything, we prepared our first dinner before we left home: a little something applicable to many dishes.
Where the sea begins...We knew we wanted to camp most of the time in national parks, so we equipped ourselves with a grill for cooking meat over the fire, good cooking utensils, our camping stove – MSR Whisperlite international – and a good pot. Not to mention the cooler we used to drag our belongings around problem-free, and in particular, to keep the beer cold….
First Dinner in Gaspésie
We prepared chicken Tandoori drumsticks. They were frozen so we could put them in the cooler several hours even 2 days in advance without worrying. This way they marinate longer, taste better and are juicier.
Magalie at the grillChicken Tandoori Drumsticks
For two hungry people
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes.
Ingredients
8-10 frozen chicken drumsticks
750 ml plain yogourt
1 head of garlic, minced
5 tbs. Tandoori spice mix
juice of 2 lemons
Directions
1- Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
2- Put the chicken in a zip-lock bag with the spice mix.
3- Close the bag and mix everything around so the drumsticks are well coated.
4- Keep the chicken cold until you’re ready to cook it.
5- To cook the chicken, the best is over a fire or on the barbecue. Shake off the excess marinade from the drumsticks and cook them until the meat comes easily off the bone.
Accompanied with baked potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil, this chicken is finger lickin’ good.
