Hawkins Cheezies

 

I was in a conversation with some family members and the topic turned to cheezies.  It had been ages since I had these Hawkins cheezies which I loved as a child.  So I went and got a bag.  

And yes, to your comments they tasted just as good.  They are a bit harder and crunchier than Cheetos and I believe originate in Canada.

Changing Times

Brunch Tower for 2

 

Korean seafood soba bowl

Pancake Cheese Burger

Community Burger

We went to Next Door restaurant with some old friends a few weeks ago.  It was a lovely restaurant and here are our food photos.  The brunch tower is a favourite.  The cold soba noodle bowl had lots of seafood but to me it was just okay, perhaps some of the flavouring could be improved.  The good part is that son K ordered a pancake burger as we didn't realize it was literally a pancake burger.  He asked if they could substitute real buns and the waitress just brought him their real burger platter.  There was no extra charge for the substitution.

We were the oldest people in the restaurant aside from son K and one other table (changing times).  Our conversation: implants, crowns, root canals, cataract surgery and travel (oh well).   It was good to get together with old friends.

Summer salad days

 Husband M and I went to a friend's cottage up north in late June for a summer gathering.  There was a blistering heat wave at the time but the lake breezes helped somewhat.  

Salmon salad

Ice Cream with Strawberry rhubarb compote

Our host pan fried some salmon and laid out basmati rice along with various salad toppings so we could all make our own dinner salads.  I had chosen our host's homemade dressing as a topping.  It was so delicious I went back for seconds. It is a great idea to do salads like these in the hot summer.

 The dessert was Kawartha Dairy ice cream topped with shortbread homemade by another guest and strawberry rhubarb compote made by our host.
