Timmy’s and Home

( On the Table and Reviews and Soups )

Tim Hortons in a hospital? Apparently they make more than donuts now…French Onion Soup and egg sandwich on whole wheat baguette.

Orange Pekoe tea and toast for mom, crackers and trail mix and brie and crackers for me.

At Sweet Art on Dalhousie

There’s a new menu - more meaty proportionally unfortunately. Still some vegetarian options.

Summer rolls have fried crunchy onion in them.

The sweet and sour soup was more hot than sweet, and had pineapple chunks under the fried tofu with the creamy middles.

Brian mixes in the sauce of favorite standby - the vegetarian pho.

The sweet pepper soup is hearty at […]

They have […]

Wanton Mama

( On the Table and Reviews and Soups )

Is a new restaurant in the market. The decor and staff seemed nice. The peach bubble tea was good. The guy working there offered that most of the menu could be made into vegetarian so the mango-chicken salad became a mango salad that looked like this:

The Thai vermicelli soup was described as hot so he […]

Ice Creams Shops to Scream For

Also in Kilkenny, on the same street as the carrot cake, if memory serves, a kind of natural ice cream, no artificial colours.

Mint flavour was as smooth and intense as anything we’d get until France.

These people make good things.
In Paris, we saw this sign on the island side of Notre Dame cathedral thanks to a […]
