2014 Blog 270: Sage

IMG_5451aaThis sounded good.  French onion soup (melted aged gruyere), ceasar salad (baby organic romaine leaves) with butter fried toast, grilled tenderloin with peppercorn sauce, mashed potatoes, market vegetables, supreme of chicken, rutabaga with herb oil, and bread pudding with tapioka milk.  This is the Sage’s tasting menu at
River Cree.  It sounded simple but very good.  Indeed it was.  It was exactly what we had last night.  I think the place has the sleek retro look, and could bring you back right to the 80s.  I liked it.  Our server’s name was Jammy… very friendly, served the food in time, attended nicely to our needs, and gave us pleasant smiles.  If you have plans to go to River Cree, you may not want to miss a delightful dinner at Sage.   You can be wise.  You can be sage.
Well, do you feel like gambling anyway?

2014 Blog 240: Foolishly Full

After dinner, I contemplated between an hour of bike vs an hour at chop. Chop is a restaurant not too far from my house. They make something I really want. After a little bit of brainstorming with Thorr, we decided to venture towards Chop. So no bike tonight. 2 hrs after, here I am on the red couch and there is really nothing else in my head but the sinful indulgence that I just had tonight. Please forgive me if I just feel so overfull. But it is worth it. If you happen to be at Chop, just down Ellerslie Road, don’t miss out their Rhum Cake.

Do you have room to be foolishly full?
