We will only be here 3.5 more months. I can't believe how time gets faster the older you get.
Last Saturday we had a babysitter and Colin and I went to dinner in the "Kensington Market" district at El Torito. We hadn't made reservations but they had space at the bar- which was fine for us.
The food was so good and we happened to be sitting by the kitchen and the chef kept checking the tables- so I commented on the Andalusian Chick Pea and Spinach soup. What I really wanted to know was how it was made and he graciously told
me. No short cuts. It takes time to make good food.
Even though we miss our family and the mountains, I've had so much fun here experiencing other cultures and different views. I'm glad we came.
Toronto will always have a soft spot in my heart. On a French class field trip in 1983, we stopped there on the way to Quebec. It was the place where I bought my first tape - Weird Al Yankovic's "Dare to Be Stupid" - a classic. I recall how weird it was that tapes there were black with white or gold writing on them, and the writing would wear off after a year.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if that's how all tapes were in Canada?
Great pictures, Julie. When you visit the states again, I'll be expecting a fine bowl of Andalusian Split Pea and Spinach!
Okay, it's my turn to bug you for a blog update. But with moving soon & all, I'll give you a break . . . for awhile, at least :)
