at last I ordered the carrots (roasted carrot, buttermilk dressing, grilled kale, salsa macha, fresh dill) at Gather…

they were very tasty, the sauce was delicious, and it took two of us to get them all eaten, lol… I’ve heard that this is one of the most popular items on the menu…

then I tried the saffron gnocchi, with white wine beurre blanc, asparagus, mint, hazelnut, lemon vinaigrette, rosemary oil, and added shrimp… also very tasty…

my grandson had the burger with some tasty regular fries…

it was busy and the waitstaff were all efficient and seemed happy going about their work;-)…

I also like that you can reserve a spot online, lol…

vanished…

looked out the window after yesterday’s snow and spotted many tracks…

not sure if it is just one bunny or many, many bunnies, lol…

throughout the day carrot chunks vanished from the deck… got some photos of the visitors… no idea how many, but it sure was fun to spot them whenever I was in the kitchen…

by end of day, all of the carrot bits were gone…

sprouts…

whenever I grocery shop with my grandson and ask if he wants Brussels sprouts for dinner he always says yes…

they are clearly his favourite vegetable, although he also has a thing for raw carrots, lol…

he cooks them much better than I, so I always get them ready, set out the butter and garlic, and have him do the cooking… sometimes we add a bit of red wine, if there is any around…

this time they went with leftover macaroni that I added to some meat sauce… tasty…

while I was making the sauce I was remembering my dad… his meat sauce was delicious, partly because he added something from every bottle in the pantry, lol…

he’s been gone for over thirty years… always surprises me what might bring up a memory…

sweet…

last night I made soup for today’s Souper Thursday… stopped on our way home and picked up sweet potatoes, carrots and coconut milk… this sweet potato and carrot soup is really easy…

  
it turned out very well… veggies, salad, crackers and fruit appeared and we had a great lunch… and everyone enjoyed it… every last drop was eaten…

a while ago I ordered a number of chocolate bunnies for a fundraiser, so this morning the Easter Bunny dropped them off at each person’s desk…

  
made some cute little notes to go with them…

such fun…

  
spent a few minutes admiring my beautiful new orchid this morning… the older one still has four or five blossoms on it…

although I’ve been struggling with a headache it was a pretty sweet day…
