For dinner, I was invited by my friend Caroline. She lives downstairs, in the same building as I do. I had lots of watermelon left, so I brought some and she turned it into a nice cocktail. We munched on the other pieces of fruit as she prepared the main dish.

Watermelon cocktail: smashed watermelon, mint, bitters, vodka.



Dragon ball salad

Caroline was inspired by one of the famous dishes from local vegetarian restaurant Aux Vivres, only she replaced the tofu by chicken.


The rest is brown rice, carrots, cabbage, edamame and a lovely, yeasty vinaigrette. It was divine and perfect for a hot and humid day like we were having.
And for dinner, a refreshing organic root beer and Amarula float.

Then we went out to see a a show and had many beers. And chips. - $28

I bought a grilled cheese and a chocolate milk at Pasta Café ($5.20) and didn,t take a picture. (I was in a rush to go to a meeting). Turns out the milk was SOUR and I almost barfed on the spot. It gives me aftershock chills every time I think about it.

Fortunately, lunch was awesome and made me forget the bad breakfast.
