I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

Toronto Island & Chili Spaghetti

OK, this time I WAS on Toronto Island! Although the ferry master did deny access due to my vehicle weight, forcing me over, onto the airport ferry again. Was so cool too; got a private escort across the fecking airport tarmac, crossing all runways! Oh yeah, on the otherside, only means of communication to get back? Is a phone in a box, lol!

My GPS…

Baked BBQ Chipotle Beans w/ Spezzati, and toasted Jalapeño Cornbread!

… that’s a mouthful, and it was! oh, before I forget, Havarti – old Cheddar was my first choice, but package was sealed. Again, the king of using what I got on hand… pasta, cheese, sour cream. Beans and bread were gratis… courtesy Iris and Tiff respectively. Thanks gals! Hmmm, am I really the king of shite, lol?!
