For a dessert, I would rate it 7/10. It does look yummy, but I don't think
it's a great summer treat, it must be frigging awesome to eat in the winter
though.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the plums. They are really ripe and sweet. I think I will use some of them to make plum jam. They will also be good as plum slush drink. The rest we'll eat them as is.

My goodness - *2* orders of the wings were cheaper than the diet coke!
I've had lattes that cost more than your entire bill!

Yes, I did, hehehehe. Since the Latin Summer Fest was a one day event and it was on Sunday, I will delay that post for this weekend (normally, it would have gone up on Sunday).

I had the same problem at the Husky at Grandview Hwy near Victoria St. I was told that it wasn't ice cream but a type of cream?? Found it a bit disappointing because the texture was too liquidity and needed to be firmer.
Much better were the screamers from Davie St or the one from Richmond.

Haha Kim, plenty of hints. Treehouse and fruit trees...

Did you go to Latin Fest? :) I know for sure you did, I can't think of why
you wouldn't have!

I've been here before... 15 years ago! LOL... It looks roughly the same except I think there was a tennis court there before.

Hmmmm.... Near Bobolink Park... Plum tree + cherry tree.... OK, let's try to find Kevin's house! :D

Indeed, they did not promote it too much, as I would have certainly gone. I wonder if it is sort of a "private" type festival...

Hmmm... I wanted to try it the last time I did the Grouse Grind but I didn't have cash on me.

How would you rate it??
It looks yummy!

Hahaha.. good memories.
= ]
I remember attending a surprise birthday party for a good friend turning 20. His girlfriend set it all up. (This was about 7-8 years ago.)
I don't remember much about the food but I do remember the atmosphere being dim and loud... so it was okay for people to get loud and rowdy.
I remember the waitress coming in our direction with a tray full of shots.
=o.

Is there a contest for the cherries?
=D
I'd like that...

Yes and no. Yes, it is the same animal; however, the difference is its age. Lamb is usually less than a year old (same vein as suckling pig?), whereas mutton is usually older (2+ years). Oddly the definition of lamb and mutton might be different from country to country. But, the general idea is that. As for th meat itself, mutton is less tender but more flavourful, as a result, more suitable for stews.

*shakes fist in the air*

Not that I am dissing your friends or something like that but... C'mon, they should go to grocery shopping more often, as yellow-ish plums (not necessarily Mirabelle, there is one called "grenade" plum) are available in markets/supermarkets! Just like yellow-flesh watermelon, purple carrots, pissing shrimp, four legged chicken, red-flesh oranges and spaghetti from pasta trees!

Just as Francis, I would normally eat the plums "as is". As for recipes, aside from a sauce, which sort of takes away the plum as showcase, the only other thing I can think of would be a tart (specially an "open" version). Of course, it depends on how ripe they are...

(Yes, the things you can find in the supermarket is a parody; if you didn't get it, well...)

*jealous* my aunt and uncle used to own a place with a mirabelle plum tree (thanks, now i know what they're called). They're SO good... *mouth waters*

The Menu catagory should read Tien Tsin Cabbage, which is Sui Choy, in thick starch sauce. Typo.
