Weekend Cooking

May 2016 - Toronto ON

A field of dandelions along the lakeshore. Like many municipalities the city of Toronto no longer sprays with pesticides.
To quote Gunter from the Toronto Sun “No more violence, no more hate. Dandelions liberate!”

John suggested dandelion wine.

Monday was a holiday here, Victoria Day so we headed out on the streetcar to check out some murals I had read about in the Queen St. W area.

We covered just over 10,000 steps in today's short journey.

 We got off at Dufferin and strolled over to Dovercourt where we headed south and turned into the first laneway.

I'll show more of these murals in the upcoming weeks at Monday's Mural.

We planned on trying the burgers at Federal, but just as Tasty Burgers said there was a line-up. Next choice, as per Tasty Burgers, Royale, but alas it was closed (closed Sun-Mon) so now what's a girl to do? Gayley's looked like a good option and it was!

We didn't have burgers though, we both chose breakfast items.

I had the eggs Benedict, absolutely perfectly cooked with delicious Hollandaise sauce served with fresh fruit.

John had a Western, which he also said was delicious and that the home fries were perfect.

We needed to walk this off so we strolled east on Dundas to Bathurst and then down to Queen, discovering lots of murals tucked into laneways and on restaurants.

Tuesday John headed out to play golf at Wooden Sticks which includes lunch and dinner.

I "borrowed" this photo from their website.

So I went shopping! I got diverted when I left College Park ( 2 tops, 1 dress) and wondered what this arch was.

Then I could see a wall of green down the street.

Wednesday I had a dentist appointment on the Danforth, in our old neighbourhood. I stopped for lunch and had dumplings, which I can't believe I forgot to take a picture. They were good so we might both go back.

John golfed in his men's weekly league which includes dinner.

The closet guy we selected returned to finalize plans (and get payment!). Now we need the condo approval as we decided to remove a wall and work should start around June 20.

Friday was girls' shopping day and lunch. I had pork noodle wonton soup at Duck. Delicious.

No movies this week.
