Sorry, ya lamb.
I actually like the lamb the way it is. God, I want to eat that.

I got to make a birthday cake for Tribes favourite toddler!



The cake and icing were sugar free. My first time baking with sugar substitute Agave nectar.

House on Parliament again on Thursday.

Bass on some kind of bread or pastry? If someone knows what this is, lemme know. Cuz the whole description was in French.


I got a duck confit on lentils with cranberries in a reduction. It was incredible. I didn't even finish it. I had one piece of meat left and I couldn't do it!

Have I mentioned that I love House on Parliament? Yay for stronger caesars!

Yesterday, I made a caesar salad with grilled free-run chicken marinaded in lemon and this weird pink coarse Himalayan salt topped with homemade sour dough croutons, Ecuadorian pepper and... Haha, parmesan cheese I got from Shoppers Drug Mart.


God, this was delicious. I made a second one after. I'm on a skinless chicken breast kick all week. One club pack, 8 breasts... It's Saturday and it's all gone. Hehe.

Those shots look good Sunny. I'll have to check it out at some point.

Go hungry. Go on a Wednesday or Thursday night if you want a busy atmosphere.
But go on a Monday or Tuesday if you don't want to wait 45 minutes for a table.
Or go a little later but the specials run out.
The kobe beef, buttermilk fried chicken or sirloin specials usually run out fast.

That duck confit was $14.95. The bass was $13.95.

They do this great sirloin on a poutine that I inhaled. Always under $19.

[futronic]

That's a deal. Do they take reservations though?

-- Jay aka Fut

[MoFo]

Nope. Never. It's always packed except on Mondays and sometimes Tuesday. But with the nice weather, it will be packed every night till closing probably.

I kinda hate that it got so popular. Ah well.

[futronic]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll plan accordingly then if I'm going to check it out.

the House is the best thing about cabbagetown! i am going to miss that place... some many good and cheap meals. my fail safe choice is always the pulled pork! mmmm...
the only thing i don't like about it is that you can never get a table... always packed.

[Booty Bits]

yeah, everything about House is amazing, EXCEPT that you have to show up super early to get a table.
the food is awesome, the prices are reasonable, the drinks are well made, and the atmosphere is lively.
it is basically the gastro pub that needs to be replicated all over toronto.

I improvised a dinner tonight..

Wing steak with grilled peppers, onions and rapini on a red wine vinegar reduction with fresh thyme, peppercorn, garlic and pancetta.

Toasted herb foccacia.

Ugh. So good.

Barnacles in Portugal. Mmmmmmm.

Dinner last night:



Fettucine with grilled quail, sundried tomatoes, cremini mushrooms, and fresh thyme

[erika]

Amazing pics, as always? Where is your family from?
My grandfather's family was from Modena.

[futronic]

Thanks! The grilled quail added a smokiness to the dish that played nicely off the other elements. I'll definitely be making this again. The little legs/thighs on top were an added bonus also.

My family is from Abruzzo, near Lanciano.

Dinner at Tomi Kro.. I finally found these photos. Great place. Will be heading back soon!
$8 specialty cocktails.






Lobster balls


Crabcakes with cucumber salsa


Salmon tartare and tuna sashimi


This was neat. Vinder ordered duck terrine with a creme brulet topping. It was really good with the cranberry compote.


Mussels

[MoFo]

Shrimp bites


Onion fritters and sirloin


Seared sesame ahi tuna


The biggest ossabuco I've ever seen. We all ate some cuz there was so much.


Not sure what this was... Skate?


Risotto


Lori and I shared the scallops.


I am a huge fan of Tomi Kro. The food is simple, affordable and well plated. The ingredients always have a lot of flavour and it's one of the only places that does fusion that doesn't make me feel sick after. The portions are generous for the smaller apps and the mains are interesting.

The service is alright but it's exceptional when it's the male staff (sorry ladies). The ambiance is chic, modern and extremely food-friendly. I find even the lighting to be appetizing.

[futronic]

Nice shots, Sunny. The fish looks like halibut, perhaps?
