Dinner at Scarolie’s Pasta Emporium

We thought, we decided to treat ourselves, Nil and I to eat outside rather than eating at home a home cooked meal this long weekend Sunday.

We had lunch at Marche De L’Ouest right after church – we shared a EuroDog sandwich, curly fries, and a generous serving of sauerkraut from La Saucissier de l'Ouest.

For dinner, at first we thought of going downtown and having a steak dinner at Steak Frites St-Paul but in the end we opted to go to Scarolie’s.

My dish –  Spaghettini Alla Bolognese* - Meat-sauce (also With Meatballs)

Pam and Allen

It was delicious – and we had plenty of left over to take home – except Allen of course .

Cheers!!

Friday Night & Dinner at Mom and Dad’s

Mom prepared a dish with Jack Fruit (Langka), some small slices of pork, coconut milk (gata), other green veggies, seasoned with some shrimp paste (bagoong) which she knows I like very much, and Len, Marv, and Aubrey were coming up from Ottawa- so dinner was set at their place.

Wen, Mike, and the girls were coming, and Paul was already there (he came by right after their work picnic that was held at Parc Angrignon). Mom  prepared a noodle dish (pancit mixed with some thin slices of veggies, Chinese sausage, pork, etc.) for the girls (Emma and Abby) anticipating that they may not like the taste of the Jack Fruit dish.

Rosie assisting Mom, noticed Mom wearing her cooking goggles as she was pan frying fish.

Teamwork, Dad busy slicing – what do I know around the kitchen?
I am good at tasting, eating the dishes Mom and Dad prepares and I take the pictures.

Yummy!! Thanks Mom and Dad!! <3

Dinner outside

Many times, when Tita Nil goes to work, and I, either lazy or have been busy during the day, have not prepared something for dinner, we opt to go eat outside.

No matter how you lay it out on the table, eating outside is an expensive proposition in comparison to preparing and cooking your own meal. But, like many people in the real world, many times you just have to accept is as an acceptable expense. ;-)

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). ;-)

Lamb chop platter - $19.95
