went out for le burger week…

started at Kristina’s on Corydon, where we had a Saginaki Lamb burger which we shared…

it was a mix of beef and lamb and was delicious… we ordered fries to go with it and they were also very tasty… the wait staff were efficient and friendly… we even got a piece of cake with our bill…

a lovely atmosphere… hadn’t been there for a long time but will try to get back there again soon…

next, we went to the edge of St. James to Original Joe’s where we shared the Big Pierogski which came with fries…

they brought it on two plates for us, so that was nice…

it was a good burger and we ate every bite, lol… the fries were fine and our server pleasant…

certainly a different vibe, and a bit dark… probably showing my age, 😂… interesting to see the difference between a privately owned restaurant and a chain on the same evening;-)…

we did spend quite some time online, deciding on which burgers we’d like to taste and where we wanted to go…

it was a fun outing and I thoroughly enjoyed it;-)…

this afternoon a young friend dropped off freshly picked cucumbers and tomatoes from their grandmother’s garden…

what a treat…

made one of my favourite pickled salads – cucumber, onion, vinegar, and water… and then had some with my supper…

yum…

the tomatoes were delicious as well…

finally walked over to the Park this morning…

started with breakfast at the Park Cafe… I really enjoyed the falafels…

from there it was over to the English Garden which is just gorgeous right now…

I found a lovely rose, just after we saw a hummingbird, although it moved too fast for me to get a photo…

in the Leo Mol Arbor we spotted one of the muskrats;-)…

had some fun with water lilies and frogs at the lily pond…

the gardens were being prepped for the big donor event this week… pressure washers were cleaning up the concrete, while lights were being added to the trees throughout the space… it will look lovely in the evening;-)…

as a child when we had corn on the cob it was always with fresh tomatoes, lol…

yesterday I had some excellent corn with a bit of garlic sausage…

today I made a delicious toasted tomato sandwich with another tomato from the garden…

seems like my technique of bringing them in just as they start to turn from green and putting them on the shelf in the kitchen has been working…

went to the grocery store first thing on Friday… good time to go as it wasn’t busy and I got my shopping done in less than thirty minutes…

once home and everything was put away, I set out the cushions and spent a lovely time reading…

received a call from a friend driving through and invited them for supper… then I spent the next while preparing my world famous, (well family and friends anyway), macaroni and cheese;-)…

once that was done, I went back to my book…

my company arrived, we had a short visit in the garden, ate the delicious mac and cheese, and off they went… all inside an hour;-)…

had a plan to take a photo of the finished pot, but forgot, lol… did remember to take a picture of my plate… packed up the leftovers for another day;-)…

tidied up and enjoyed the garden as I read outside until it got dark…

lovely treat;-)…

a few weeks ago I picked a beautiful ripe tomato from the tomato plant… when I turned it over it had blossom rot and I had to toss it..

last week I picked another one that had just started to turn the slightest shade of orange… it went onto a shelf in the kitchen and turned nicely red, and when it was turned over the bottom was perfect;-)… and it made a lovely open-faced sandwich…

today I took off the next tomato, this one is a bit smaller, but I am hopeful that it will ripen without the blossom rot;-)…

hoping that this will turn into another beauty…

yesterday I picked purple and green beans, a few peas and a bunch of dried peas (looks like I missed a whole feed of them, sigh)…

I also spotted some small cucumbers which are not quite ready but should be in a few days… mostly they are growing on the other side of the fence, lol…
