If oursin and lilactime can do it....

Dinner last night:

lilactime's recipe for roasted beet risotto followed by baby squash sauteed with butter and garlic. The wine was Hippo Creek Pinotage.

The risotto was unusual and excellent.

Summer = Patio + Beer

It's a gorgeous day in Toronto so lemur_catta and I headed out for brunch. After a longish walk we ended up at the City Grill. Their menu has got distinctly dull but they have a lovely quiet patio and draught Hoegaarden. The quantity of Hoegaarden consumed necessitated a serious post-prandial nap followed by a wake up swim. Unfortunately by going out I missed the rather sudden end of the Test Match but one can't have everything I suppose.

I think having now done research on brunch spots with patios and decent beer, I think we will be checking the Biermarket next. Anybody else have good reccs? We have done Fionn McCool's and the Granite Brewery many times.

Right now I'm listening to tamnonlinear being erudite about Tam Lin on the BBC. She has a lovely voice...Rawr!

Kitten update: He is growing up fast. He is trying to climb the walls of his cage (with some success) and is using his litter box. Clever little kitten.
