Dinner with Tita Nil

Just the two us, quiet dinner, at Arahova Souvlaki on Brunswick Blvd, D.D.O.

Tita Nil asked me what I wanted for dinner. I replied that I'd rather that we go eat out- again ;-)(we had lunch earlier at Fairview Shopping Center, courtesy of Cafe Depot on the second floor).

Earlier we thought we'd be going to VIP in Chinatown, possibly meeting up with Uncle Pilo, but it didn't work out, they had somewhere else to go.

We drove to Marathon Souvlaki but the place was packed, possibly people who went to see a movie at Cinema Guzzo, just next door to the restaurant. We didn't want to wait so we decided to check out Arahova (I had Lamb chops in my mind). ;-)

Tita Nil's Chicken Gyro platter - $12.95

Coffee was $1.75 (refills)

A little over $40.00 with tip- not bad.

Tita Nil loves real Coke

Playing around with the various settings that come with my Canon SD1000.

Here are a couple of pictures I took using 'select a color' thingy. Can you guess what color? ;-)





By the way, that tall Coca-Cola plastic bottle came from one of the Roy Rogers along the NY Thruway. Uncle Marvin got it for Tita Nil.

Light Rain

Or simply, looks like light is raining down from above.



Tita Nil and Trish, somewhere in downtown Montreal

Lunch at Elixor in Laval

My plate- yummy, delicious.

I planned to go downtown, take Tita Nil along with me, go to Place Victoria, where the office for the business registration / renewal is located, and head to Chinatown for lunch right after completing the transaction. We were going to drive to the closest Metro, park the car at a nearby park and ride spot, and take the Metro downtown.

It was a few minutes past noon when I called Trish to check the commuter train schedule because we've decided that it would be much better just to take the train, which had a station not far from where we were. According to Trish there was one coming at 12:10pm, I glanced at my watch and it was 12:03pm, so we gave it a shot. Drove home to borrow a couple of train tickets from Trish. After picking it up we drove to the station which was just close by, and hopefully find a parking spot and be able to board that 12:10pm train. But, it wasn't meant to be, we weren't able to make it on time.

Tita Nil suggested that we'll just go downtown the following day, Friday (today). Considering that we did not have to rush back to the West Island for the "Walk Away the Pounds" workout we do at the church on Thursdays and Mondays, I concurred.

That's how we ended up in Laval, having lunch at Elixor (love their Pasta). I suggested that we just go for a lunch date at Elixor, for we both love and miss their "Sunday Pasta" dish anyway.

Business has been very good and no complains, I had to run out of the restaurant at least a couple of times to take calls from prospective customers (the acoustic inside isn't very good), actually took an order (which didn't take very long, I think), afterwards headed back inside the restaurant to join Tita Nil, once more, and finally, we finished our delicious meal of "Sunday Pasta".

Sunday Pasta (as described on their website)

Spaghettini tossed with virgin olive oil, roasted with whole garlic, Japanese eggplant, calamata olives, broccoli, herbs, oven roasted tomatoes, bell peppers, goat cheese, and roasted pine nuts

Bon apetit!!

Late Lunch at Jack Astor's

Tita Nil and I treated ourselves to a late lunch / snack at Jack Astor's the other day. We each ordered our own meal but when the time came for the server to deliver our order we were overwhelmed by the size of the sandwiches we ordered.

We ended up sharing Tita Nil's, forgot what it's called, gigantic hamburger and took home my Chicken Club Sandwich order. :-)
