day 894 - park anywhere

a group of canada geese decided to 'park' where cars should be, in fact, mother goose there seemed content. watch out for the droppings!

day 439 - fish for good friday

today, at lunch we went to Len Duckwoths Fish & Chips on the danforth. it's jampacked and i only realized why just when we were leaving. it is good friday today and maybe the patrons were mostly catholics so they were observing the "no meat" day today. oi, how many times must i explain that it's not that meat they were talking about!....

day 426 - "the one"

this coffee shop was quite busy this afternoon, heavy people traffic, the coffee must be good!

day 419 - let there be light

in the dining room. this is of course a really small lighting fixture but in this picture it looks like some large ballroom-y type. it still uses the regular light bulbs that eat up a portion of your hydro bill.

day 311 - super market

my friend and i attended a book launch tonight at the "super market" down at kensington market. yes, "super market" was the name of the restaurant/venue. while preparing myself to leave the venue, i noticed that on the wall of the restaurant, there was a half grocery cart hanging on the wall, and i thought, "cool!" and then outside, i saw that the fence of the restaurant was also made up of different 'half carts'. i think it was rather unique. but i wondered which grocery stores lost their carts to this fence?

day 305 - three lovely grape tomatoes

beautiful dinner we had tonight. this here, actually, are what remained of my salad which was made up of mesclun greens, candied pecans, grape tomatoes and shaved asiago cheese. food for the gods. or goddesses if you will.

day 290 - nouveau sink

today i discovered a new japanese sushi restaurant on the danforth. it is called Sushi Friends . the interior is so simple - a long upholstered bench on the west side with about 8 tables and although the tables are good for four diners each, they are set up for two giving diners a lot of space. the dark wooden floors are well polished and the wait staff are so friendly and polite, and a tad overzealous with their jobs, but otherwise they're very good.

the washroom is located downstairs, the stairs with the same dark wood as the restaurant floors. the washroom, surprisingly, is very spacious, even the stalls. and there are three sinks and the above is one of them. wow! i am terribly impressed! so impressed i took a picture. i know for one thing, my measurement of a good restaurant is the cleanliness of its washroom. if they are maintained well, you can bet they do the same care in the kitchen and most probably more.

and, yes, it is wheelchair accessible from the sidewalk. sweet!
