Lanscaping, nearly completed
We’ve nearly completed all the landscaping projects we had.
The front is 100% completed, and the back is about 90%. All that’s left to do in the back is wait for the tree to come and be planted, and then put in the 2 bushes that we’ve ordered – those will be coming at the same time as the tree. The bushes are going in front of the landing for the stairs coming down from the deck.
The tree and bushes we ordered from www.yourleaf.org – They’re a great organization…
This is all very exciting! It’s been on our project list for the last 2.5 years and we’re very pleased that it’s nearly wrapped up.
Here are some photos for you to enjoy… Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
The best French Toast in Toronto
After our trip to Quebec City and researching and eating the best French Toast I’ve ever eaten – sorry mom – at Panache, I decided to embark on a mission to find the best in Toronto.
Panache French Toast
My research led me to School in Liberty Village. I ordered the Crunchy French Toast. After waiting for what seemed to be hours (likely about 25-30-minutes), and watching the staff bring delicious food out to other customers, the food arrived.
First off, there were two pieces on the plate, and after further examination each piece was actually two-slices of loaf chalah together. It had a slight citrus taste and had what appeared to be fried Rice Crispy bits on it. It was very good, but I highly doubt it’s the best in the city!
If Panache is the benchmark, being a 9.5/10 (I need to leave room for someone to one-up Panache), then School’s Crispy French Toast was about a 7.5/10. My apologies to Brad Moore, executive chef at School, but the dish needs something more. Maybe some fresh cream or fruit slices with it. Also, machine cut chalah? Really? Your chef’s couldn’t muster the effort to hand cut?
What made Panache better? Well, for starters, they use brioche. Then amazing local maple syrup, chopped almonds, and fresh local strawberries and orange slices. I would say that the 9-hour drive just for the French Toast is worth it!
Onward and upward…
Anywhere you suggest that I try next?
More fall pictures
So, walking around today I took a few more pics that I liked and wanted to share.
Enjoy.
Colours of fall
Autumn is in the air, and then in my lens.
Here are some photos from earlier today.
Mac “swirly ball of death” seen on Family Guy
Thought this was just hilarious. There was a brief pause in the newest episode of Family Guy where the “swirly ball of death” was seen.
Just great…
