Last Day in Canada - St. Lawrence Market, Part 1

Finally, the posts from our last day in Canada. Man, this was nearly ONE YEAR ago! I seriously lag!

Our flight wasn't leaving until earlier this evening so we wanted to make the most of today. Here's the view from our hotel room - we stayed a few blocks away from St. Lawrence Market, which was to be our first destination for that day. As you can see, there was a bit of rain that morning...

Grey Roots...no not my hair!

Our traveling companion K mentioned seeing this place that had replicas of different houses. We figured we'd stop by to look at it. We weren't going to go in or anything. Turns out that the place, Grey Roots,was already closed when we got there.

Return to 2540 - Brunch revisited

Last weekend, we went back to 2540 for Brunch. We used another one of my groupon deals. Again, we were lucky enough to get parking at our "secret" spot.

Potluck...

Last weeks, TC's dance company had their annual junior recital. As always, the parents brought in food for the potluck lunch.

Here's a quick run down of what they had:

Chicken adobo - the only thing I didn't like about this is that there was no skin. :(  Come on now, this isn't health food!

Easy as meat pie...

Meat pies are just about the easiest thing to make, especially if you have ready made puff pastry squares.

Since this eating plan, I've been having a lot of ground turkey or ground chicken. One of my favorite ways to prepare it is to brown 1 lb of the meat with diced onions, then add dried cranberries, and season it with black pepper and a dash of soy sauce.

They've hatched!

Remember this?

This photo was originally taken on Sunday, May 22nd...

As of yesterday (Thursday 5/26), all three eggs have hatched!

I took this quick shot and left right away. I didn't want the mother bird to feel so threatened that she might abandon the babies. They were making tiny chirping noises and their eyes were closed. The feathers were just wispy tufts and their mouths were wide open once they heard the bushes rustle. I hope these birds survive. They're pretty protected deep within the bougainvillea shrub.

The Wayside Chapel

Hey, I'm not a religious person, but we HAD to stop here and check it out...

I remember seeing this tiny church on our drive up to Tobermory and thinking, on our way back, we MUST go there!

On the way back to Toronto...

Well, my friends, it was time to head back to Toronto. After the nearly 2 hour trip from Manitoulin Island's South Baymouth to Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula, we  piled into the car and hunkered down for a long ride back. Joining me, Bert and TC was C's German friend, "K" who was planning to head back to Toronto and then fly back to Berlin.

Calvin Klein wedges

With the weather so nice, it almost feel like summer's here.

That means more open toed shoes...

The Drought is over...

The Rpattz drought that is...
The first official still from "Cosmopolis":

*Cait Cronenberg is the daughter of  David Cronenberg who is directing "Cosmopolis"

In the limo with RPattz as dotcom billionaire Eric Packer and Sarah Gadin as his estranged wife Elise Schifrin. "Cosmopolis" based on the novel by Don DeLillo, is now filming in Toronto and soon to relocate to NYC.  From what I've read in the book, this will be quite an "interesting" movie.

Especially the sex scenes. With three different women. But not all together.  Ha ha.

All I can say is, this better be rated R and none of that PG-13 crap!

Also starring in "Cosmopolis":
Juliette Binoche
Paul Giamatti
and Jay Baruchel

Can't wait for this movie to come out! This should kick ass on the "Twilight" movies  and showcase more of RPattz's acting skills. It looks to be a more superior production with better actors, a sexier wardrobe (suits and ties), and an intriguing story line.

PS
Happy Birthday Astroboi!!!

Wedgie...

Somebody give me a Wedgie!

No, that not kind!!!
