Taste of the Danforth
AKA....TASTE OF GREECE (again! *sigh*)
Well, as you all know, the 13th Annual Taste of the Danforth was hosted this past weekend, and for those of you who couldn't make it out....SUCKERS!!
I happen to have gone twice!
There was tons of food...some of my favourites were the Calimari from "Taste of the Silk Road" a middle eastern place, Roasted lamb on a pita from some random restaurant and the frappes (the greek iced coffee beverage of choice...Starbucks what?!), loukemades and kataifis (greek sweets) from Cafe Frappe.
We made it there on sat. for 4:30 with Anna and Ian and Sarah, walked around, bought some stuff (a wooden elephant!) and then met Sarah and Brandon back at the Fox on Danforth for some Beer. When we got out, the entire street was at a standstill because it was so packed and there were cops trying to direct the flow of traffic (of people i mean!). Onwards home we went after sampling that tasty calimari.
Next day, jamie and i just couldnt get enough so we found ourselves at the All you can Eat Sushi place on the danforth. Silly huh? but it was really yummy. we then proceeded to get some frappes, duck into a little bookstore to find a few funny/cheap books and got my most desired "Vanilla"...a greek treat that is very sugary, which you scoop out with a spoon, stick in a glass of cold water and suck on kind of like a soft lollypop. It is my after work snack of choice. we also practially STOLE groceries from a veggi/fruit market they were so cheap!
So that was my very tasty weekend. Also, It was mine and Jamies 1 year anniversary last week, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABY! (Taste of the Danforth was one of the first events we went to as a couple last year!) :)
