Food Marathon

You know when family comes to town, it's all about eating. If you're not already at dinner, you're planning dinner. Some days, we've been planning the next dinner during dinner. Here's what we've had the past week:

Wednesday: 11-lb lobster! They made 4 dishes out of this wanna-be-boxer lobster. The claw wasn't as good, though, it was watery/salty and chewy.


Thursday: Big meal at cousin A's place - roast duck, soy chicken, veggie (bitter melon and green pepper) with fish paste, green beans with olive, spicy shrimp and beef tendon. Can you guess which ones I didn't eat? :)


Friday we had to work late, so we missed a big Chinese dinner uptown.

Saturday: Day trip to Niagara Region. First stop was a winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake and did a tour+tasting. Stop 2 was lunch in Old Town (also in NOTL) - mussels marinara, grilled calamari (not pictured), escargot and pizza. Ate mussels again (yummy) but not the escargot (not that adventurous).




We didn't stay in Niagara for dinner, so we drove back to Toronto and ate dinner/late-night-snack in chinatown.


Sunday was to relax. Nothing exciting in terms of food, except going grocery shopping and pre-cooking for tomorrow's dinner, which we are hosting. Pictures to come.
