On Friday night, M, K and I went to the local Ribfest with a couple of friends. It was crowded on a perfect summer night. That meant long lineups for the prize-winning ribs. But they were all delicious, with fries, beans, coleslaw, cornbread and corn on the cob. K noticed there were no lineups and plenty of tables after 9 pm, so that might have been a good time to come. There were live bands on site making plenty of noise.
Last night M went with a friend to a local bar to watch some kind of fighting match on satellite TV. He said they had standing room only but they had a great time cheering along with the rest of the crowd at certain moments. It was $8 for a beer, so these bars make good money.
M and I walked over to the Farmer's Market this morning. We got some pastries and strawberries to take home, and split a peameal bacon on a bun. We ended up stopping on Main Street for cups of coffee. L is off on a day's outing with some of her work friends. I've started stressing that she'll be off to university in little more than a year, how empty the house will be. Well, K will still be around for at least another 4 years. This book I'm reading mentioned that some people will cope by getting a puppy, new hobbies, new jobs. I know friends that did just that. But there is some kind of grieving process that you have to go through first. Hmm.
Well, I'm going to bake some chicken, roast some cauliflower and make a salad for today's meal.

It all sounds scrumptious. I'm sorry I didn't do something special today.
Oh, I've been dreading the empty nest the minute the nurses put Roxi in my arms. Boo hoo! But I know you'll treasure this last year with your girl. She sounds so wonderful. I am sure she will call you every day. Don't forget about Skype! (And I am sure she's not going to move far away, right?!).
That rib fest sounds fabulous! Now I'm hungry. And what is peameal bacon? Is that a veggie version of bacon?
I just saw you're from Toronto. I never noticed that before. I was there last summer and also visited nigara.
Great location with great people
Kay, I guess it was a scrumptious day.
Japra, here's a good link to peameal bacon I found http://www.bbqtalk.ca/PeamealBacon.htm it's delicious, and less fat than regular bacon.
L's not planning to move far away, but I'd want her to do what's best for her anyway. Of course, she'll have to learn how to do laundry!
LazyKing, glad you liked Toronto, we love it here.
