Trie Acton Freo Wodnascf February 11 By Wendy Thomson Every now and then try to get the Idea across to hat it might be rather nice to pick up for supper instead of me it He always comes back wilh Why dont you pick up some meat and buns make much better I KNOW I do bill after I squish the meat around a bit and it flat then poke and prod it around the pan for awhile peering at the msidcs for degree of donenesswcll alter all that I feel on Midi intimate terms with it that I cant really enjoy it as much as I do a strange ham burg I like eating out once while and usually enjoy the food even if its only soso just because Im sitting down and someone else is doing the work and because I havent met the food before personally One disappointment there is though is going to a flirty expensive restaurant and finding that 1 can cook some things better than THEY can took me to a German place in Toronto a few years back and after poring over the menu in German but with English descriptions ordered what sounded most interesting I was disappointed to find out that was just the same old that Id made for years briefl flank steak wrapped around a carrot Also the recipe I got from a pea ad was far more tasty and far less blah One New Years we went to a restaurant in for dinner We ordered the most expensive steak and mushroom plate on the menu and 1 was quite put out when it came In this area which has at least two large mushroom farms and where a person can buy beautiful pure white mushrooms in most stores it is a crime to do as this cook did and serve a neat row of canned tasteless things There is dinner there too And I DID enjoy myself It started everything in grand style to be shown to a reserved table and to be assisted with coat chair and such Then things started to get a little bumpy Our waiter was French it added atmosphere but I couldnt understand him much of the time Then out of sheer curiosity I decided to try something Id never had but he ir about constantly a martini When the waiter said in his own charming On the rucks or straight up I had to admit 1 didnt know he meant and felt rather stupid just from the hills dont know all the about martinis is anyhow I found it rather dull and uninteresting Maybe the olive would have added that certain something if it had been there but 1 honestly dont think I could face an olive puttering around in my drinks On to the potato salad cole slaw marinated broccoli tomatoes cucumbers in sour cream and bless their hearts that the cooks did not strew everything with red and green pepper That 1 cannot stand Then cold ham turkey rare roast beef beef in a pastry crust and a slice of a whole thing more insulting to a fresh beautifully decorated salmon mushroom than a canned one That restaurant would have old chicken bones on rice been stroked off my list if t hadnt been for a marvelous he bones and was done in burgundy with tiny omoi mistake they had previously made While Gord was caught up in contract negotiations a few years ago he ate lunch there as they had a business mans buffet affair being a large cater likes to help himself Whenever 1 could Id meet him and wed lunch together One day instead of the usual ho dish made up from chicken leftovers you skin bones gristle and a smidgeon of meat over rice there was an extremely good and lobster Newburg was really on the Alice and I hadnt cjtcn much all day just to be ready for tins Dessert was perfect in ike and a fresh fruit salad with grapes oranges grapefruit melon peaches and all sorts of other things And the coffee was excellent In fact I enjoyed the whole so much I thought Man of La was marvelous that my mind began wandering the lines of Now Hie I plan in going back for seconds and the lhe Cream of men at the table after eyeing Mushroom Soup Prime Roast the huge pieces of seafood on Ribs of Beef and my plate were just about to go and load up when someone T that I whom I took to be the head aaX l M cook burst out of the kitchen grabbed the pot and cradling it carefully rushed back with the expression that he would have been tearing his hair if his hands hadvebecn free I heard later that hat casserole had been made up for a private banquet Cant you just see that when the thicken bones arrived When Man ol La was at the OKeelc Centre Alicefromin town and decided to splurge a little and take a run to see it Alter
