Nice lunch in spite of TTC

Toronto public transit is pathetic, but we’ll have to learn to add a half hour to the hour we already allow to get anywhere. If it rains and you get a seat, it may be wet. Streetcar windows leak. Don’t worry, you’ll probably be standing anyway.

Danica and I eventually reached 502 Queen Street West, just west of Spadina and met Kathy Bertrand for lunch at the Epicure Café. Danica: Calamari, Kathy: Grilled cheese sandwich with apples and bacon, Me: Mushroom, spinach and feta omelette with fries. All delicious, priced reasonably and served cheerfully and efficiently. Nice menu touch: You may choose to mix your side order, half salad half fries. Good find, Kathy.

After lunch, we shopped Queen West a bit. Of special note: The Outer Layer gag and gift store. Novelties that are really novel and the only place to buy your push-button profanity generator. “Shut the F*** Up”! Danica bought one but passed on the cat book (See inset)

We have a luncheon/shopping tradition wherein the ladies laugh loudly at raunchy products and greeting cards while I keep my distance and pretend I don’t know them.
