Week of Eating Out

If you've followed the Baker Blog for any amount of time you will know that we LOVE to eat out. But, during a couple of very special weeks each summer, our gastronomical foodfest goes to new heights when the kids are a way at camp. We use these kid-less days (nights) to try restaurants we've heard or talked about over the year, and use it as a chance to revisit some old favorites that the kids don't like. Well, we pick the kids up tomorrow, so here's a round up on this year's selections:

Sunday: We went out to dinner with Grandma Pat to Flaherty's, always good!

Monday: The Tap & Mallet, Gregory Street: we had heard about this pub from several friends so decided to give it a try. Mark was pleased (and a little overwhelmed) by the five pages of micro-brew selections, and the food was pretty good. It featured the usual pub-type food but also had some other really interesting stuff that is worth another trip back.

Tuesday: Le Lemon Grass: our old Vietnamese favorite, we brought friend Gillian along this time and now have another convert.

Wednesday: We got tickets to a concert at the RPO, so we just stopped at our neighborhood restaurant, McArdles, on the way home. It never disappoints.

Thursday...not sure yet. I have to work late and prepare for our pig roast tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures of that poor (yummy, succulent) guy on the grill with a big apple in his mouth!
