We ate in Chinatown at August 8, Dumpling House. I went to Mary Brown's.

I met Marsha for lunch.

Loved our coffee at Neo Coffee Bar! Coffee and pastries at Nord Lyon in Union Station.

We went to Harbourfront for pizza at Pie Bar ✅, and grabbed a beer at Shoeless Joe's. We ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory, it had been years!!!

PJ O'Brien's ✅ and Jason George Pub, nachos, not shown below.

AROUND TOWN

We began our beaver quest and it kept us busy around Old Town.  As did Pride Month. Luminato was also on.

FIFA is in full swing around town. 

Art, food trucks and skyline from Harbourfront.

HIGHLIGHT was making John get up at 5:15 on June 21 to watch the sunrise on the longest day of the year!

John had never been to the Old Post Office Museum.

I went to the Toys Alive exhibit at the library.

MURALS we found this month.

Monday murals can be found in the weekly recaps.

AROUND HOME

John took a walk around but was being bombarded by red wing blackbirds, as they were menacing the whole neighbourhood!

Contrasts

COOKING

I made a chicken Alfredo but used cream cheese and we thought it was the best!

I hadn't made meatloaf muffins in a long time!

We actually ordered in from Swiss Chalet. I could count on one hand the number of times we order in!!
