Lily Peasant Butcher Ball

I met my friend Sue for brunch yesterday. Luckily the middle ground for us is my new neighbourhood, so I had an opportunity to check out some new places before I move.

We wanted to try the White Lily Diner for brunch, but there was a 40-minute wait. Instead we went to Peasant Table, which was actually fantastic. I had the Farmers Breakfast: scrambled eggs, lamb sausage, grilled pork belly, roasted tomato, smashed potatoes.

As we walked back to our streetcar stop we popped into Butchers of Distinction, which looked very good indeed. After saying goodbye I dropped into The Cannonball, a coffee/beer joint just west of Broadview. Cozy little place. I believe I’ll spend some time there.

Somebody needs to stop us from going shopping around Church and Wellesley. Between the meat we bought at Cumbrae’s this morning and the cheese we bought at About Cheese (Le Mont-Jacob pasteurised cow milk from Quebec, Parmigianno Regianno raw cow milk from Italy, Thunder Oak gouda) we’ll be well-fed, but much poorer. We also got some tasty bread at About Cheese, as well as some spruce beer and maple beer. Very interesting indeed.
