Big weekend

Friday was Tina's birthday and They Might Be Giants concert. Started the evening at Habana's and forgot to take pictures of the beautiful food, but Jack and I had seafood paella. Then we went downtown to drink beer at a grocery store across from the concert and watched people stand in line until they opened the doors. When it got close to the time of the opening act (Jon Coulton), we strolled in and got about the same standing room we would have gotten if we had stood in line for an hour. We felt pretty smug.

Saturday I went to a traditional Burn's Supper that a friend of mine was involved in. I enjoyed it, but if I go again I will make sure I go with someone actually interested in Burns. My table barely knew who he was and the conversation ran to opera and themselves mostly. Haggis was very good though. Again, forgot to take pictures - didn't even take my phone with me.

Sunday morning we had brunch at a place called Chez Z with Trevor and Tina. I did take pictures of the food - it was great - and we took a ride in Trevor's new ride - a new, black Soul. Yes, let the puns and jokes begin. I forgot to take a picture of it because on the way out to his car a woman backed into me and I was so distracted that I forgot to take a picture of either her car (should have gotten her license) or Trevor's car. But it is a nice car and I think he will really enjoy it. Much above my level of daily luxury, but I love my little red Fit too.



Lobster and shrimp omelet - Jack's breakfast






Tina's Cream Brule french toast with Rum sauce!






Trevor's Chicken and Waffles






My Surf and Turf Benedict - steak on one English muffin and poached egg on crab cake.

Jack and I shared so we could try both and we had a small helping of the cream brule french toast so that we could try it. It was all great!
