The evening before my brother Rob’s wedding, my Dad took some of the VIP wedding guests out to dinner at the most expensive place in town. Right on the boardwalk.
I had the lamb. Not bad. 🙂

out on the town – Midland, Michigan
My last night in Michigan we did Midland starting with a bottle of the cheapest Syrah available at the wine bar – Give me Five. Reverse Wine Snob loves it.
We walked over to a Mexican place to share a plate of Hawaiian fajita. The best Hawaiian fajita I’ve ever had. The best I ever will have. 🙂
Too stuffed for desert, we finished the evening with a specialty coffee.
Linda Vista, San Salvador
My friend Laura, the El Salvador Events Manager, drove us up the volcano for lunch.
This restaurant is called Linda Vista (Beautiful View) Gardens.
Much higher than the San Salvador, the temperature is significantly cooler. It’s a great escape if things get too hot in the city.
I had pasta and chicken Caesar salad. 🙂
Here’s the write-up on our Age Group Gymnastics Camp in El Salvador.
Corning Ware casserole dish – ‘Cornflower’ blue
This photo on Facebook generated a lot of nostalgic memories. Many are still using those.
CorningWare, also written Corning Ware, was originally a brand name for a unique pyroceramic glass cookware resistant to thermal shock. It was first introduced in 1958 by Corning Glass Works. CorningWare can be used directly on the stovetop. …
Production of the original pyroceramic glass version of CorningWare in the United States ceased in 2000 …
n 2009, the stovetop line of CorningWare was reintroduced by World Kitchens. The cookware is manufactured by Keraglass/Eurokera (a subsidiary of Corning also specialised in vitroceramics for cooktop panels and equipment for laboratories) in Bagneaux-Sur-Loing, France. This is the only factory in the world still manufacturing vitroceramics (aluminosilicate glass) for cookware. …
CorningWare is sold worldwide, and it is popular in Canada, United States, and Australia.
LOVE airport Timmies
Like most Canadians, I’m a Tim Horton’s fan. Could eat there every day. Fast service. Great value.
In the Toronto airport a 591ml Diet Coke costs $2.15 plus tax at Timmies.
A few steps away, at Front Page News, a 500ml Coke costs $2.59 plus tax.
Over at Fionn MacCools a 500ml Coke costs $2.79 plus tax. I assume the same Coke delivery guy drops off the same product before the HUGE mark ups.
the world IS getting better

Barbara and Rich’s UFC party
Delicious barbecue. Especially Rich’s spicy tri-tip.
Delaney and I opted to colour and watch Netflix. UFC is too violent. 🙂
we got stronger beer
The difference between Canadians and Americans as spelled OUT in a beer commercial. 🙂

Thanks Linda.
Hundred Foot Journey
Christmas day we watched this entertaining family film.
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a 2014 American comedy-drama film directed by Lasse Hallström …
The film stars Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal and Charlotte Le Bon and tells the story of a feud between two adjacent restaurants: one operated by a recently relocated Indian family and the other managed by a Michelin-starred French chef (Mirren). …
Click PLAY or watch the trailer on YouTube.
The cast is great. Everyone charming and likable.
Charlotte Le Bon is a Canadian-born French actress, model and television presenter. …
We felt Om Puri was best of all, however, as the curmudgeonly patriarch.
Recommended. 🙂
Ho Ho Ho – nice bird
🙂
Three cheers for the Christmas cooks.
