Another reason for not moving

[vaneramos]

That seems to be the theme of the day.

I live one block from The Greek Garden, my favourite restaurant in town. Right around the corner is Eggcetra. They're both inexpensive with long menus, good food, good service and nice atmosphere.

And the kids like Eggcetra. Here is "Simply eggs and meat" for $3.99, which Marian ordered this afternoon from Eggcetra's all-day breakfast menu.



Brenna had her favourite, spaghetti, and I had a ham and egg crepe. The kitchen sink has a major leak and I can't get a plumber until Monday, so I'm taking a holiday from dishes this weekend.

That is a good looking breakfast

and the price is right.
How are the Gyros at the Garden?

I'm not a connoisseur of gyros, and I've only had theirs once, but they seemed good to me. My favourite dishes are the saganaki, shrimp souvlaki, calamari, and the triangles of soft cheese rolled in filo pastry, the name of which eludes me at the moment. Dinner always comes with a free relish tray of taramasalata, hummus, olives and dill pickles with as much crusty bread as you want. The galactobouriko(sp?) is good, too, but I'm always too full to order dessert. It's not as cheap as Eggcetra, so the Greek Garden is only an occasional treat on my budget, but it's still a good price: under $30 Cdn for an hors d'ouevres, entree and glass of wine including taxes and tip.

Saganaki... ahhhh... or rather... Opa!
Oh and Tiropita ... The spanikopita without spinach.
Wonderful stuff.

Are those beans? Is this some breakfast custom of which I was previously unaware?

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Yes, they're beans, served with all their basic egg breakfasts. I've never seen it anywhere else, and I'm not a huge bean fan, but it makes a nice addition, and I suppose it adds some fibre to an otherwise fatty meal.

It just occurred to me that my daughter ate hers. Surprise, surprise.

Argh, now I want an english breakfast before work and Foster's has gone out of business. They used to make amazing breakfasts. *cry*

Hey, it was nice seeing you on New Year's Eve. I'm glad we had more chance to chat this time.
