Turkey Taco Benedict. English muffin, Swiss cheese, Turkey taco mix, eggs, avocado, and Mexidaise. Potato salad on the side. Would have been better if the muffins weren’t hard as hockey pucks and if I hadn’t tried to fry the eggs without using fat.

What kind of ice cream?
Ben and Jerry’s Netflix and Chilled. Peanut butter ice cream with salted pretzel swirl and brownie chunks. My usual favorite B&J is Mint Chocolate Cookie but I picked up the Netflix on a whim the other day and I’m not mad about it!

Back in YYC. Dropped Bruno off at home to catch up with his kitty sisters and headed out for some nostalgia pizza bread from Boston Pizza. It was my favourite growing up and always hits. Watched the Blue Jays win. This disappoints me greatly. Time to hit the bed with the leftovers and cuddle with the pets.

Tonight’s dinner was a bacon and onion quiche. I found a pound of “cooking” (ends and pieces) bacon at Dollar Tree on clearance for 50 cents. I have no idea why it was marked down as this bacon is usually $3.
Any who, I chopped it up (further), fried it off and into a basic quiche recipe (courtesy of Preppy Kitchen on YouTube) with some (sauteed) onions.

Summer harvest pasta cobbled together from vegetables that needed using.
A random amount of leftover goat cheese, pasta cooking water, a couple tablespoons of concentrated tomato paste, and the olive oil from sautéing most of the vegetables formed the sauce. As the sauce emulsified in the pan, it started to resemble the sauce for penne alla vodka, but I didn’t have any vodka around, so a glug of rosé wine did the trick instead.

BTDT. I usually go for pork stir-fry when that happens.

My friend Bob, now gone for 7 years, used to include me for pizza with his grown kids, at a Boston Pizza near Lake Bonavista 25 years ago. I remember trying the Perogy Pizza, first time to see it or try it. Bob would order 6 or 7 large pizzas. He and his wife had 6 kids, and we was used to ordering for a crowd. He was also a generous guy who loved to host.
Boston Pizza arrived in Ontario a couple years later, around the time Earl’s, Moxie’s and Milestones also arrived in Ontario.
For a good 5 years, about 20 years ago, one of my cousins always wanted to meet at the Boston Pizza on Albert Street in Regina. Then a rotation began, where we would meet her at Boston Pizza, Earl’s, Greco’s or The Chimney (old school Greek family restaurant) in Regina.
Boston Pizza in southwestern Ontario doesn’t hold the same kind of nostalgia for me as the one in South Calgary and one in South Regina. LOL.
Often, nostalgia hits the spot!
