Lunch on "The Drive" with Marilyn and Chris

We met Marilyn and Chris today for lunch at Carthage Café on Commercial Drive…one of our favourite restaurants.  Always a great setting and Marilyn and Chris were impressed with the food.  Now that is saying something since Chris is a European trained chef who worked at the William Tell and other fine restaurants before finishing off his career teaching in VCC's Chef School.  Jim had his usual "Carthage Couscous" (enough for two elephants but he managed to finish it…),  I had a red snapper dish and Chris and Marilyn had chicken in a Pernod sauce.

Always great to see them!

And now the food…

 Carthage Couscous….lamb shank, chicken, and merguez saucage.

 Chicken with Pernod.

My snapper.

We were pleased to see The Canterbury Tales Bookshop was still open….bookstores are closing all the time now.   A really enjoyable place to browse.
