We decided to make lunch our dinner since Jim is auditing a third year Spanish course at UBC from 5-7pm Tues. and Thurs. It is entirely via Zoom and the prof is fabulous. Seniors can audit any course at UBC for free if the professor is willing. They don't advertise this but I learned about it from a fellow in a course I took at SFU in their 55+ program. The other students are UBC students but are all over the world at the moment. The prof is doing it from her home in Lion's Bay.
We've had dinner a number of times since they reopened (it has AC so was good in the heatwave) but this was the first time for lunch and we had an old favourite...the cup of soup and half sandwich special. The price is $12 and it's a great deal for what you get. We both got the Boston Clam Chowder and I got the shrimp and Jim got the turkey breast and we both got it on toasted sourdough. The filling quantities are more than an ordinary whole sandwich and excellent quality. Roasted turkey (none of this pressed stuff) and the shrimp is hand peeled and there is a slice of avocado. Even Jim couldn't eat more. I'll take photos the next time.
Golf courses are usually great places to eat for value and quality. This is a public golf course so anyone can dine there but sometimes you can dine at private clubs even it you're not a member.
We had a great table by the window overlooking the first tee. We also could have eaten outside but it seemed a bit crowded and noisy.
