Waffles, eggs, pear

Sandwich and a salad, orange San Pellegrino, hot chocolate at Café Art Java - $17 with tip




I stopped at La Maison du rôti to stock up on organic meat and poultry ($47). They are so nice over there and the butchers are very helpful and patient. Plus there's that cute one who always winks at me when I come in. Hee! I bought a pork shoulder, chicken thighs, steaks and a beef blade roast.

I made some pork belly again. This time, I started at a low heat (200) for 3 hours then cranked it to 400 for 30 minutes and rested the meat for 20 minutes before cutting it. Waaaaay better. It got all golden and delicious and the top didn't burn this time. Yippee!



Pork belly, parsnip purée, braised carrots

Toast and juice


Mochi ball
These are so delicious. The intern actually moaned when he tasted one. I am really sorry I didn't capture this with my camera.

Burrito with the works, salad, pineapple from the bistro - $6

I highly dislike store-bought tortillas. They taste like plastic to me. So I rolled my burritos garnish in lettuce leaves. It was crunchy and fresh.



Véro went the old-school way and had a burrito adventure.




When I got home, I was beat so I just had a peanut butter sandwich, a glass of wine and a mini bottle of pink champagne.


It was friday night, after all.
