Decided on dinner. Cro Magnon for me: a marrow bone to drool over (if you like marrow 😁) and braised short rib for Jim. Throw in asparagus to attempt healthiness. Not in the photo- the brazen bird ...

Our late brunch is turning into early dinner. Frites and mustard (yes mustard is way better than ketchup!) and sipping away at absinthe. Not in the photo, the brazen little bird who flew in to eat ...

I'm in love: millet and beet risotto, baby turnips, 'cinnamon cap' and 'hen of the woods' 'shrooms, and a gooey poached egg. I am so making this risotto! Brunch

Finally, a glorious sunny day in Toronto. Having brunch at Le Select (Toronto's Balthazar!) This croissant is so buttery that you could spread it with a knife.
