Here’s a photo from February. Warmer days are just around the corner…riiight?

Breakfast at Union Restaurant
The guys at Union know what they’re doing. Coffee from Sense Appeal, croissants from Clafouti, housemade strawberry jam, and a relaxing morning soundtrack heavy on Grizzly Bear.

Concord Sour at Yours Truly
HAPPY FRIDAY
We’ve taken an interest in cocktails. I can only deduce that this came about from no longer eating at restaurants and bars serving Tequila Sunrise and Sex on the Beach, which were (probably still are) my favourite drinks. (I know better now, really! Pedestrian I am no longer. Hahaha. Ha…ha.)
Here’s a variation of a Whiskey Sour that I had at Yours Truly using: white port, whiskey, Concord grape juice, citrus, and egg white with a cherry surprise waiting at the bottom of the glass. The black napkin was a nice touch.
If you’re wondering where the food pictures are, I’m sad to say that both times we’ve been to Yours Truly, I was without a digital camera. I did manage to take a few shots on my Canon AE-1 the second time we went, but then it got too dark and our wonderfully thoughtful tasting menu began. We had two amuse gueles followed by the menu of the evening: Carrot (very playful plate!), Trout, Beef Cheeks, and a Yogurt mousse.
I’m hoping we’ll get some better pictures in the spring or summer, especially if we get to sit at the bar again or the communal table by the window.

Pour over coffee at Crafted Te Aro
Can coffee cure or prevent a common cold? Seems highly unlikely, but I’m going to be brewing myself a cup of Te Aro’s Guatemala beans anyway. It’s not as good as when the barista does it, but my coffee maker does a nice job enough that I’ve suddenly had family members asking me where I bought the beans! So, it’s pretty good. It’s come to the point where having dessert is an excuse to brew it in the evening.
