TicTac

Like Bruce said, @heidih was always sharp and witty. I always enjoyed her unique perspectives and our shared fondness and love of nature. Certainly will be missed in these parts (and others). May her memory be a blessing to those she knew and always in ones heart.

Rib eye and NY strip w red wine and porcini sauce…crispy taters and eta…slightly over cooked beans. Nice Chianti in the glass. No complaints.

It is (and a heavy beast at that, estimating 3-4kg). As are the Buddhist sculptures behind it.

Love elephants and sculptures- that’s a great one, ken. here’s one of my guys, always at the back door watching out (supposed to be good luck etc etc)

mexican lasagna local Japanese fish monger had gorgeous bluefin - ginger and bonito infused soy with snow touched chives - served with tobiko and rice

White asparagus carbonara

Great Show. Matty (who @paulraphael mentioned) is a smart, smart man. Hilarious too. He has a lot of entertaining youtube videos of himself cooking.

Another tip to help with rooting and avoid rotting, dip the cut tips in ground cinnamon, it will aid in numerous ways.

So sad. I have had so many nice chats (both private and public) with Anna over the years. She had a wicked sense of humor and certainly would not shy away from a debate. She will be missed - sending our best to family and friends.

Do those nights tend to coincide with 2+ Mai Tai nights?! 😋

Wife took the kids to MIL’s - had a night to myself, so steak it was! 6 week dry aged rib eye, fried green tomatoes, purple mashed potatoes, lambs tongue (wild spinach), Malabar spinach, porcini reduction

I suppose with the traditional 'warming' liquids one requires while sleeping outdoors *ahem* - that anything might be....possible. I have been known to jump into Algonquin park lakes in late May with the proper....motivation! 😛

Listen, I eat ketchup with scrambled eggs (as I know you do as well) so I have no place to comment. It must be a Canadian thing... Then again, neither of us are as bad as a friend of my grandfathers who told me stories of his buddy putting ketchup in his coffee at hunting camp.... 🙄

On the fish, or the chips?! Chips, no qualms...fish - highly questionable! There is a fantastic spot called Old Yorke on Laird just south of Eglinton, if you are ever in the area. One of the city's best.

Wahoo or Grouper....yeesh, talk about a tough decision. 2 of my favourites. I think I would have gone with Grouper, or more likely.....one of each! lol
