my housemate has been picking up groceries for me so I haven’t ordered from Save-on-Foods for quite a while, but on Thursday I put an order in for delivery…

I had received an email advising of a $25 refund if I spent $75, so I went ahead and ordered some regular items on my shopping list, lol…

I made sure to call their info line because one item was buy-one-get-one-free, and I couldn’t remember if I should put two, or one, on the order…

the phone was answered quickly and the customer service person had the answer right away…

I also appreciate that they no longer use plastic bags, except for produce… I put out my own boxes and the driver transfers from their bins to mine…

when my order arrived, there wasn’t a credit so I went back to the email, only to discover that the deadline had just passed… by a few days, lol… apparently I should have read it better or put the order in sooner…

but, I did get the free item;-)…

went to the Park Cafe for breakfast and had a very nice time…

Richard was our waitperson and he did a wonderful job…

I had tea as we waited for our breakfast and it did seem to be taking a bit longer than usual, but not horribly…

when it came, Richard advised that they cooked my poached eggs to medium and he remembered that I had asked for very soft, so he had them redo them, which was why it took a bit longer…

he also mentioned at the end that I could have requested a grilled tomato instead of the hash browns which he saw that I hadn’t eaten…

it was the first time in ages that I felt we’d received stellar service at a restaurant…

he got a big tip;-)…

finally got around to making some red lentil curry…

hadn’t made this recipe for a very long time, so had to follow the recipe so as not to miss anything, particularly as there are many spices in it…

ended up using two pots so that it wouldn’t overflow the pan I started with, lol…

five and a half containers in total…

for New Year’s dinner we tried something new…

we had prime rib… for many years we would have steak and lobster with twice-stuffed potatoes…

so this was fun to try… cooking the prime rib was interesting… first, it had to sit on the counter for six hours to reach room temperature, then it went into the oven at 500°F for half an hour, and finally the oven was turned off and it sat inside it for two hours…

quite the process, but it came out perfect for those of us who enjoy rare meat;-)…
