On the other end of the cuisine spectrum... we're having M&M chicken nuggets tonight. The ones that were on sale a while back. Served with some really good bottled Salsa sauce that a friend brought back from Costa Rica... and some fried potatoes. Simple, yummy, lazy.

I have a headache from everything so I shall have to write up the whole report later but I had quite the dinner experience @ north 44º ! The main highlight : the chef is mark mcewan. He’s the owner of the new McEwan gourmet grocery store that I have been wanting to visit. I got to meet and chat and got a whole separate dinner made by him since they didn’t have vegetarian options on the menu.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
The insanely good tasting wine..ahhhh! time for some advil and a quick nap<o:p></o:p>

Way to go!! Custom veggie dinner made just for you by the head chef himself! Can't wait for more details. Oh, and tell us about the food, too!

Yeah.... 17 bucks for a salad?!! 53 bucks for the large steak?!! Does it come with a potatoe? The restaurant must be trying to impress the visitors from the other centre of the universe, New York.

"North 44 will be delighted to cater your next event."

I'm sure they would be ecstatic to cater your next event!
