Jesus won’t you fucking whistle

Blurted it out mere seconds ago as Tiffany K came in questioning something, LOL!! As if I wasn’t aware … 😉

Doukhobors and cucumbers that is … remember every garden in the neighbourhood growing these like it was nobody’s business, and remember my mom making cucumber sandwiches too … certainly not my cup of tea now, but back then when I was young, LOVED them!! Ah … I miss ’em both!! 🙂

Better late than never. Just a few pics of my Italian brunch spread for family … minus the multitude of words … I know can you believe it, lol?!

Antipasti …

My trusty Henckels Four Star and Beretta salami …

More salumi …

Molto formaggio …

and the king of all Italian cheeses … parmigiano-reggiano …

when I walk beside her
I am the better man
when I look to leave her
I always stagger back again

once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
when I climb down to be set free
she took me in again

when I see her inner charm, she just throws it back at me

once I dug an early grave
to find a better land
she just smiled and laughed at me
and took her rules back again

once I stood to lose her
when I saw what I had done
bowed down and threw away the hours
of her garden and her sun

so I tried to want her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
and it’s still coming down on me

This place opened on Roncy last month to rave reviews. And yesterday was its inaugural foray adding to an already long list of restaurants hoping to capitalize on a community eager for trendy family friendly eateries offering hearty morning/early afternoon fare on the weekend … the-brunch-bunch!! Ok, not too much to say … but something tells me y’all will have PLENTY to say … and for the first time on danistrulytheman’s blog, not seeing a single comment freely anted-up sharing your thoughts and opinions will be fine by me … honestly, my feelings won’t be hurt, lol!! Here’s a few pics sans the happy couple’s plates (sorry, my bad), blame my limited reach, + their hunger and impatience, lol …

Tiffany K’s eggs-benny (Fresh baked Cheddar Biscuit, layers of thinly sliced Ham, free run poached Eggs, classic, Lemony Hollandaise & pan fried Potatoes (vegetarian option with sautéed Spinach):

Boy Wonder’s Duck Hash (Duck Confit, panfried Potatoes, caramelized Onions, Bacon, and Jus with 2 free run poached Eggs on top and Toast):

dan’s … “the westerly” Burger (House-ground lean Chuck, Veal and Short Ribs with house-cut Frites):

… and the bill (as per usual, lol):

Numbers and me go together like …well, like beer and me go together, LOL!! I can’t always explain them, how they occur … or WHY?!?! Earlier today 17 filled my brain, and not only 17, but 9+8 to be specific. I was gonna add this to my previous post as it’s tied together, figured why taint that one … leave it be, I’ll start a new one trying to connect the dots. The original G ‘n R post WAS May 17, 2011. Voila, there’s my 17 … now 9 days prior to this date is (was) Mother’s Day – a very memorable day for everyone – me included … and then 8 days later is May 25 … huh?? Ok, so it’s not a perfect science, never mind y’all, lol!! And here I thought I was onto something, lol!! 😉

Popped into my head!! Last night some ditz inadvertently reminded me that I previously blogged ’bout this song, lol!! Hey, did give her the quote (caps, was she yelling, hmmm?) And no hard feelings either, y’all know me … in one ear ‘n out the udder!! 😉

you know I don’t like being stuck in a crowd
