celebrated a birthday lunch for one of our group…

we went to the newly renovated Park Cafe…

it is always fun to figure out a time that works for everyone, even though we are all retired, lol…

the restaurant was very busy and after a short wait we made it onto the patio… the birthday girl’s choice…

a bit overcast, and cool, and it did spit for a few minutes, but we were protected by the large umbrellas over the tables…

there were burgers eaten and the new spinach salad, with falafel, was devoured…

dessert included banana pudding and the berry good sundae;-)…

we always have a great time together;-)…

since our new bbq – Glowy – arrived in April, we (my housemate!) have been barbecuing much more often…

recently we had hamburgers which were delicious… I’ve gotten a bit more lazy and have been buying premade patties, but they are much tastier than previous versions…

this bbq has extra btu, so it is easy to get good heat for searing and lovely grill marks;-)…

we’ve also done chicken, steak, lobster, sausage, and lamb, as well as zucchini, potatoes, and onions…

wondering what we might try next;-)…

had a lovely lunch at Gather with my adventure buddy… our server, Nicky, was very helpful…

I had the French toast, with a side of bacon…

my buddy enjoyed the mushroom toast…

she also enjoyed the Basque Cheescake
with Strawberry, mint, delivered by Brian, the new GM…

after the delicious lunch, we had a wander through the Gardens at The Leaf…

always happy to find another view of The Leaf;-)…

on Sunday we (well, my housemate) cooked a spatchcocked chicken on Glowy for dinner…

afterwards I took the leftover bones and meat and started chicken soup…

finished it in the morning and had a delicious cup of soup for lunch;-)…

was treated to a blizzard to celebrate my birthday…

was kind of funny, because I was cold after getting chilled in an air conditioned restaurant…

so I sat there eating the blizzard in my winter coat, with the seat warmer going, and gloves on…

but it was a wonderful treat… and half of it did go into the freezer for another day, lol…

had dinner at Gather Craft Kitchen and Bar on Friday after my volunteer shift to celebrate my birthday eve…

the new menu looks great and we enjoyed everything we had…

we shared the brioche with butter and honey… the bread was warm and the butter soft… delicious… the look on my grandson’s face reminded me of the cartoon dog Snuffles, that rose into the air after eating something tasty…

then we had the potato paillassons, which were also delicious… yum…

I had the beef tartare… really enjoyed it with the bread…

my grandson had the grilled octopus, with paella rice, saffron aioli, and chervil, and noted how nicely it was cooked…

every bite was delightful… and I am looking forward to the next visit to try some of the other items…

planned to start our errands with lunch at Sushi Cushi, only to discover that they open at 4 on Sundays;-(…

so, we decided to have dinner there instead…

the parking lot was jammed with cars and we wondered if we would get in, but happily, there were tables available…

sometimes we order and pick it up, but eating in is a treat;-)…

as always our food was delicious and we enjoyed every bite…

had lunch at Silver Heights Restaurant again today…

we had seen an item on the menu the last time we were there and wanted to come back and try it…

today there was no aquasize so we decided to go for lunch instead…

we had a Duke of Yorkie – shaved baron of beef, fried carmelized onion, mozzarella, horseradish mayo, on a giant Yorkshire pudding, served with au jus… with a shared side of onion rings…

it was delicious;-)…
