Toronto Street Food

After hearing talk about the City Council exploring the options to legitimize street food other than hot dogs in Toronto, lunato and I decided to go downtown for the sole purpose of eating a hot dog while it remained the king of Toronto street food. For $2.50 a piece with a $1 soft drink, it wasn’t bad at all and can easily be a fulfilling lunch. Personally, I’m looking forward to buying baleela on the streets!

2007 Canada Day

140th Canada Day

Happy Canada Day! Canada is now 140 years old.

A very eventful and tiring day. We visited the Mississauga City Hall in the morning. After that we went to the Toronto City Hall and then onwards to Queen’s Park. Later towards the evening we went to the Mel Lastman Square for the fireworks display. Finally, we bought fireworks from the local convenience store and lit them up in the neighbourhood park.

Bluffer’s Park

I am an avid fan of ddoi by Sam Javanrouh. Last year Sam posted an image of the CBC Building in Toronto and mentioned Spacing’s calendar that was on sale. It seemed reasonably priced and since I am a fan of Sam’s photography, I went ahead and purcahsed one.

A few weeks ago I remembered that one of the calendar images, from Febuary 2007 to be precise, was taken at the “Scarborough Bluffs” by Miles Storey. A quick Google search revealed that the Bluffs, which are an escarpment, are actually part of Bluffer’s Park which is only a few minutes drive from our house.

Lunato and I grabbed a spare bedsheet from the linen closet, some fruits and drinks from the kitchen, put everything in the IKEA recyclable bag, and went to the park for a lazy afternoon. I took 2 Claritins and used Nasonex before leaving and I was OK!
