  It’s All About the Butter 

  

  Last night two soon-to-be-newlyweds treated yours truly to dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. I guess it’s urban myth that their steaks are butter-fed; nonetheless, the sizzling aroma of all manner of fats greeted us as we walked in the door.

  Clearly, the night was about decadence. After downing a couple of spicy Caesars at the bar I settled in for a long and expensive meal. First was our Napa Valley Merlot, one of the few wines on the menu for less than $400 a bottle. For my appetizer I passed on the $8.95 wedge of iceburg lettuce and instead shared a Caesar salad. Then came the meat, about three pounds of it in total for our party of four. And to finish us all off, one of our two ordered desserts was a cheescake, not a slice but the whole damn thing!

  My generous hosts wouldn’t let me see the bill, but I’m quite sure it was over five hundred bucks. With a rehearsal dinner Friday, the wedding Saturday, and a BBQ Sunday it’s going to be an expensive weekend, calorie-wise…

  Calling All Taste Buds 

  

  Say hello to John and Tracey, proprietors of the Frecklebean Caf?, which is home to some of the best breakfasts in town and the only bison burgers I’ve ever had the pleasure of tasting. The stress of running a restaurant has landed John in hospital for the past week; despite this, the Frecklebean is open for business and could use your help. So if you’re near the AGO and hankering for some good eats, please pay Tracey a visit:

  Frecklebean Café
  132 McCaul Street, half a block north of Dundas on west side
  416-595-1943

  All About Me 

  

  As of today it’s been 38 years and 9 months since my parents last had unprotected sex. This morning for breakfast I finished off an ice cream birthday cake from a family do the other night, and I will now further my self-indulgence by re-publishing my most favourable horoscope for all the world to see.

  “A solar eclipse on your birthday is a magnificent omen for success but first you must decide what it is you want most out of life. For too long you have been torn between conflicting paths, now you must choose one or the other and, having chosen, stick with it to the end. Great things are possible if you know what it is you desire.”

  Hmm… More cake, please!
