I had two awe­some meals in a row this week­end. TWO. Which brought me to dis­cuss with my super­hero friend: ccy, the dif­fer­ence between eat­ing for the sake of eat­ing, because you need sus­te­nance to sur­vive, and the actual joy of eat­ing. The two meals were def­i­nitely of the later. Peter Pan on Queen and Peter had an awe­some Win­ter­li­cious menu with braised lamb shank and polenta, a new favourite of mine. While the brunch menu at Lola’s Com­mis­ary was sim­ple and clas­sic with an Eggs Bene­dict and Cheese­cake stuffed french toast. My world is all out of sorts, the food was deli­cious and so cheap. I wish there were more places like that close to my home. Win­ter is not exactly the prime time for explor­ing the culi­nary delights around the city. You must first have a plan — take a cab (this was the eas­i­est and most cost effec­tive, espe­cially going in pairs or groups), then you must have a reser­va­tion (if you are doing the win­ter­li­cious business).

The whole other point of this was… I eat the usual shit that uni­ver­sity stu­dents eat, fuck I hate going to sub­way, what the fuck else am I sup­posed to eat late on a sat­ur­day after­noon when I don’t feel like trekking over to get gro­ceries? I was so pissed though because while a sub costs $11, the amaz­ing eggs bene­dict I had was only $11. So the prob­lem is– WHY?? I would rather have one Lola’s Com­mis­ary in every neigh­bour­hood than 10 Sub­way sand­wich places. ffs.

Here is a song my good friend Edouard, from Paris, passed on to me that was played at the Mr.Scruff con­cert at Wrong­bar a cou­ple weeks back.
