Although Ian has been to Boulevard Cafe before, this place seems like an incredible deal at lunchtime during the Winterlicious promotion. It is nominally Peruvian, but the majority of the menu appears to be items that you might not typically find in Peru!
El Plebeyo or El Fogon are much more authentic, albeit not as 'fancy' as the Boulevard.
Ian had the soup of the day - it was billed as a pureed yellow split pea, but was actually more of a shrimp soup in a yellow split pea kind of broth. Pretty tasty all around! Ian was delightfully surprised by all the seafood.
I went with salad - egg, avocado, artichoke heart, olive, onions, carrots on lettuce with delightful creamy dressing.
There was a mussels or chicken quesadilla option for the main course, but we both went with the tilapia fish of the day. It was a rather large piece of fish, pan fried, with some mango salsa thrown on for good measure. Came with some tasty roasted potatoes and more salad.
For dessert, my key lime pie was very creamy and had a very strong lime flavor. There were some berries and whip cream too. Ian had a flan de leche with an unfortunate bitter sugary sauce which was not all that smooth.
For $15 a piece, lunch was very good. The rather small dining room was packed - so I guess other people in Toronto agree with us?
Aside from the flan, the only other upsetting thing was that they automatically put a 17.5% gratuity on the bill. Do they not think winterlicious people tip? Then, on the credit card thing you sign, they have another opportunity to tip. Seems a little shady to me! I wonder how many people don't notice and end up leaving a 30% tip??

Winterlicious Act I - C5
After years of wanting to take more advantage of one of the liciouses (winter or summer), we called early this year and booked one dinner and one lunch. Tonight was the dinner at C5 - the restaurant in the ROM. I guess normally the restaurant breaks things down in courses C1-C5. Winterlicious is only C1-C3 but regardless this numbered courses seems like an idea that needs broader adoption.
I opened with the calamari salad while Janice had the Butternut Squash Bisque. The calamari salad was interesting with a portion of the actual calamari salad, a portion of an avocado "salad" that seemed a lot like guacamole and another mystery item. Overall it was a good combination to open up the evening. Janice seemed to like the bisque as evidenced by the fact that she only let me have a tiny taste.
Then it was on to the C2 for which we both had "72 Hour Sous-Vide Beef Short Rib, Chestnut Potato Mash". The rib was super tender and generally quite delightful. The side of mash was surprisingly agreeable.
Finally for C3 Janice had "Chocolate Bread Pudding, Parsnip Gelato, Carrot Foam". According to Janice, Joanne Kates has been reporting lately about the popularity of "foam" so Janice was quite pleased to join the trendy set by chowing down on the carrot air mixture. The bread pudding I tried was enjoyable. I went with the "Pecorino Cheesecake, Ginger snap tuile, balsamic gelee" which was OK but I think I should have gone the bread pudding route. I can't resist cheesecake though so I liked that. It turns out balsamic gelee isn't my favorite though. However, if Janice were blogging she'd comment how it came in a "cute" little bowl.
The meal was washed down with some of their finest (in my mind - i.e. cheapest) merlot. Pelee Island in this case. We've had it before and I think we'd have it again.
Overall it was a decent winterlicious outing. The place was surprisingly empty though with maybe only 60% of the tables occupied. The restaurant itself was quite nice with a large lounge area and some non-objectionable music playing. Aside from the food, we really liked the cutlery and salt/pepper shaker. The knives were interesting as the handle was rotated 90 degrees relative to the blade. Hopefully the guy from the ikea commercial eats there sometime so we could pick up something similar. I disliked having a coat check particularly because it means I have to part with my coat that contains my precious quizno's coupons. Luckily no sticky fingers walked away with them. The other negative was serving sizes. Maybe they're small for winterlicious but in general the servings were tiny. It seemed to work out in the end as I didn't leave that hungry so I shouldn't complain excessively.

Fuddruckers Flashback
They used to have a Fuddruckers in Edmonton and it was always enjoyable to go and see the cow carcasses hanging the butcher shop and then go and eat a tasty burger. We used to say it was one of our b-days and then you would get to go on a tour of the joint!
Their real claim to fame is a put your own topping on - multiple sauces, lettuce, tomatoe, pickles, onion and squirty cheese sauce.
Yesterday, while walking through the Detriot airport, I saw one!! It was wacky! I went in and ordered a veggie burger with some grilled mushrooms. The expensive factor was rather high at about $7 for my burger - without drink or fries. The cheese sauce from my childhood was gone too and it was more of a fast food joint. No dead cows hanging around. The buns are still particularly deelightful - kind of sour-doughy and perhaps with some garlic butter.

Chipotle Cornmeal Crusted Tilapia
Really tasty and honestly rather easy...but appears to be fancy like you know what you are doing.
1. Head to grocery store and pick up any fish that is on sale. Must be skinless unless you are skilled enough to de-skin raw fish. I went with 2 large fillets of tilapia for $2.74 from Loblaws
2. Make wet coating:
-chipotles in adobo sauce (a whole bunch)
- pinch veggie oil
- thyme
- salt
- pinch lemon juice
3. Coat fish with wet stuff
4. Coat with cornmeal - I used blue cornmeal for extra fun-ness
5. Bake 350 F for 25 min or until done.
Apple Crisp Tastiness
Chop up and put in bottom of dish
Apples
Dried Cranberries
Raisins
Topping:
1 part flour, 1 part soft butter
2 parts brown sugar, 2 parts large flake slow cook oatmeal
pinch of cinammon
Bake 30-45 minutes until done at 350F! Mmmm...
Santa Rita Sauvignon Blanc
Last year we were into "Billy's Best Bottles" for a guide to cheap and tasty wine. This year, it's the Toronto Life Eating and Drinking Guide (TLED) magazine. Earlier in the week, an LCBO flyer arrived promising $10,000 if you spent $30. So I consulted my TLED and left for the LCBO...it seemed like an alright deal.
As recommended by TLED guide, I bought some Santa Rita Sauvignon Blanc.
It's from Chile and TO Life promises "Among the best value sauvignons at the LCBO. Quite intense with tangerine, grapefruit, lemon grass and fennel. Mid weight, very good length. A bit coarse, but very flavorfull."
Janice's comments:
It was disappointing when I did not collect any money and instead only got a "please play again" from the LCBO. I can't really hold that against the wine.
The wine was a good deal at only $9.65 and it is indeed a fruity.
The wine went delightfully well with my super-duper chipotle cornmeal encrusted tilapia that I made for dinner and equally well with our new Game-cube game - Madden 2007 (also $10, but this time Ian bought it at Rogers Video, not at the LCBO).

Sanko Japanese Store
We came across this delightful little store, Sanko, at 730 Queen street East.
They had quite an extensive, but expensive, collection of Japanese pottery items for sushi, tea, bento boxes and the like.
Also a decent collection of food including seaweed, snacks (I bought some rice cracker snacks), veggies, frozen food, noodles etc etc.
Fresh/Juice for Life on Crawford
Ian and I were walking around Queen Street today and stopped in at Fresh on Crawford. I have been pretty desperate to go for about 6 years, but laziness and Ian's indifferent/meat lover attitude have won out...until today.
This joint seems to be one last stronghold of the Hippies/granola eating/vegan types - a close rival to it's neighbor Fressen.
Ian had the "breathless" smoothie which included banana, strawberry and mango tastiness all blended up for $5.
I went with the soup, salad and cornbread combo for $9. The soup special was Moroccan chickpea. The flavor was ok, but was unfortunately way too thick and hearty to eat any more than about 1/3 of it at a sitting. Hopefully Ian can bail me out of my leftover problems tonight at dinner. "Save the whale (Ian's expression)" style, they put the leftovers in a sketchy paper type container with an ill-fitting lid covered with a flimsy rubber band. Perhaps not the most practical, for all but the most steady handed type person. I'm not too sure what the problem is, at work we have the same soup containers, and they have very solid fitting lids.
Salad was the highlight of the combo - a whole whack of assorted fresh greens, shredded carrot and beets. I ordered it with the house dressing - which I found to be delightful, but they did not put anywhere near enough on there in order to fully enjoy the salad.
Cornbread was dry and non-descript. Pretty much impossible to eat without a healthy layer of butter and a swig of water after each bite.
Ian's main was the basic rice bowl ($5) with an add-on ($2) tofu "steak". The tofu was delightfully flavored, and the rice bowl was also quite good. They had some pretty yummy dressing on the brown rice and the carrots and parsley added to the whole thing.
I liked the serve yourself water that came in wine bottle type thingy's, at least until I somehow poured it all over the table and my sweater. Then, I wished that they would serve me water. They also had a lemon slice floating around in there, but unfortunately, the lemon looked as though it had seen better days a few weeks ago.
They would be wise to invest in a better kitchen exhaust system. Sweet potato fry fume permeated the entire restaurant and in fact, 1 hour later as I type, I can smell it on my clothes.
Total including tax and tip was $26.

Scaramouche Pasta Bar and Grill
Ian and I went out for a belated year 2 anniversary celebration tonight to Scaramouche, located just north of Yorkville. We opted for the somewhat less fancy and cheaper pasta bar and grill - Toronto life magazine bills it as a "neighborhood joint". Well, this is one fancy neighborhood joint if you are going on a Tuesday night before soccer practice!
They only take reservations for 5:30 to 6:30 on the weekends, so we went with 6. It was pretty empty upon arrival, but was really busy when we were leaving about 7:30. Lots of people waiting at the bar as well as in the upper lobby near the coat-check.
Dinner started well with their soup of the day for me. Curry cauliflower with some diced apple and fried lotus leaves. I couldn't really taste the cauliflower, but the curry flavor and apple were excellent.
Ian went with a huge plate of fried calmari that he seemed to enjoy. Lightly breaded as promised on the menu. It really was too much deep fried tastiness for one person ($16) and they would be better to go with half the amount for $10 or so.
A nice selection of complimentary bread (whole wheat, french, white) came with butter and some decent hummus. The bread was fantastic, but the hummus and butter could use a little work. The PC chipotle hummus we bought at the No Frills today is better. Butter was a little boring too.
Mains were generally in about the $22 to $35 price range and seemed to have some slightly overlapping items with the more expensive dining room next door.
Ian had arctic char with veggies and unusual wild rice aka "forbidden rice" ($31). The menu claimed that it was a soy lime coriander beurre blanc, but it was a bit tough to taste on there. Overall, very pleasant and a perfectly cooked medium well with crispy skin.
I went with one of the cheaper pasta dishes ($22) and it was a very good choice! The fresh peppercorn fettucini did indeed have a touch of pepper in there, but the real highlights were the big chunks of sauteed beef tenderloin. Not too many oyster mushrooms as the menu promised, but more than enough pine nuts and extremely creamy madeira cream sauce to make up for it.
We shared coconut cream pie with dark chocolate sauce and white chocolate shavings for dessert. Extremely light and a tasty coconut flavour!
Since Ian drove, we decided to go with a glass of wine each. A pretty decent selection of about 8 whites and 8 reds. I went with a California Shiraz and Ian had a pleasant Pino Grigio to go along with his fish. About $12 each for a large 6 oz glass. It seems a little steep, but was comparatively rather cheap when compared to the seemingly overpriced $44 half bottles on the wine menu.
Service was generally excellent and very efficient.
Total bill including wine, tax and tip was a fairly reasonable $150.

Quizno's
Yesterday in the mail we got a fresh batch of Quizno's coupons. There was a bit of sad news though as they no longer have the precious buy one get one free coupon or even the buy one and a drink and get one free coupon. Instead they've switched to the buy 1 sub and two drinks and get one free. I'm willing to shovel down 2 subs and a drink but 2 with two drinks is too much and it's no longer a good deal.
Fortunately some of the coupons are still decent deals. And to make things even better the in-laws gave me some delightful quizno's gift certificates so I of course had to hit quizno's for lunch today. I had a regular Mesquite Chicken and used a free combo coupon. Tasty as usual.
Faithful readers can look forward to a few more quizno's trips this month. They seem to be pushing their new pizza and the "sammies" with the coupons so I will likely have to give those a try

Veggie Burger Harvyey's Style
On Thursday night, I take a class and am unable to go home after work. Thus, the need for fast food of some sort to tide me over till 9:30 when I get home. As far as fast food joints, the least objectionable item seems to be the Harvey's veggie burger.
- 317 calories (perhaps a normal amount of food for a non-obese person to eat for dinner)
- 9 g fat
- 5 g fibre
- and an all important 20 g of protein to keep me awake while the teacher is droning on in a language I do not understand
I wouldn't rate it as a "beautiful thing", but the tasty factor is moderate. At over $4 for a burger though, it's not a great value.
The service at my joint last night was rather poor. They seemed to have the burger kinda precooked and only needed a light grilling, but despite that, they didn't let that stop them from taking about 15 minutes to hand me my burger. Some problem about them typing in cheese and me not wanting cheese? Now that I think about it, I hope they did not charge me extra for that cheese???
I do like that they seem to use a designated green "flipper" that hasn't been tainted by meat! Not that I really care, but I do appreciate the concept.

Sushi Star
On the way to pick up a burrito the other day, an amazing sign caught my eye. It had three key features "$9.99", "All you can eat" and "Sushi". Those three bits made the sale and so for Thursday lunch I convinced the lunch crew to go.
This new place is the Sushi Star on Spadina adjacent to the Red Room. They also advertised cheap lunch combos but of course we went with the all you can eat. The all-you-can-eat menu was somewhat limited though: 2 types of sushi (salmon and red snapper), 7 or 8 types of rolls and a bunch of stuff from the kitchen. We quickly filled out our first order and the food started rolling in. I skipped the soup and salad courses to ensure I could take full advantage of the sushi but people seemed to enjoy them. First for me came the shrimp tempura. Pretty good, better than Ho Su's tempura but a little too bready to rank amongst my best ever. Then the rolls started appearing. We went for the multiple of everything policy without knowing what any of the names rolls were and that seemed to work out well. We ended up with some salmon skin rolls that I quite liked and a bunch of others.
We devoured all that and there was still no sign of the sushi so I was starting to get a little anxious that the big numbers we had put down for number of sushi pieces had scared them off. But not to worry, the sushi eventually showed up and we quickly finished that off.
For the next and final round of orders we basically repeated our first order with a few new items from the kitchen.
Overall for 13 bucks with tax and tip it was definitely a good outing. As one guy who just finished remarked, "I only wish this place was around 4 years ago when I started"

Janice's Cake Gone Horribly Wrong...but Then Got Better
Usually, I'm a decent cook, but today it went wrong. I attempted to make the "ginger cake with hard sauce" from my William's Sonoma Bride and Groom Cookbook, but it certainly did not turn out like the picture!Sorry no photo's, Ian has the camera in E-town till tomorrow!
My cake ended up with a liquid layer of dark molasses at the bottom and a light tasty cake on top. The picture did not show any sort of split.
Since the molasses on it's own is not that tasty, I decided to try and get rid of some of it.
I turned the cake out of the pan and scraped off the molasses. Of course, at this point the cake looked pretty gross! To fix it up, I used the "hard sauce" - basically butter icing - to attempt to fix it! Unfortunately, it is now extremely squat. Arggghhhh! Hopefully it will be tasty - but as back-up I bought some PC sticky toffee pudding!

PC Brie and Cranberry Filo Parcels
I went to a clothing swap event last night and the host made some PC Brie and Cranberry Filo Parcels. I was expecting a high amount of tastiness, but they were actually a bit bland and leaning toward odd tasting".
I have purchased some PC fig and goat cheese items for the scrabble crowd tomorrow night - hopefully these are tastier!
Toronto Life Eating and Drinking
Ian's aunt sent us this magazine for Christmas and it turned out to be very deelightful! Good descriptions of most of the medium/high end restaurants in Toronto as well as a few of the cheap-o places too.
Also included: a good bar/pub section, wine guide, and foodie type info like where to purchase fish.
I found most of the ratings and descriptions to be decent.
I laughed pretty hard regarding their Kit Kat comment "Offhand servers lack necessary polish" and "Italian fare is up and down". How true!! Check out our review.

Magpie and Stump (Banff)
As per skiing tradition, we visited the Magpie and Stump upon arrival in Banff.
The waiter was a little creepy, but the tastiness of the food more than made up for it! Although, the Magpie may have been the cause of Ian's illness? Who can really say for sure??
Ian went with his usual combo - bean/veggie burrito, chicken almond enchilada and beef taco. Came with a side of refried beans - all for $14.95.
I broke with tradition and got a smaller $7 veggie/bean quesidalla + salad. Jack-0-lantern went with some bean and cheese nachos! They were the real star of the night! A huge mound of refried beans with chips along the side, some tasty house red sauce and a whole hit of cheese on top. All that tastiness for only $9 or so.

Wild Flour (Banff)
After Ian's stomach troubles hospital visit in Banff we went out for lunch to Wild Flour Cafe in Banff. This place was completely packed, even for lunch at 1:30!
I had the salad of wild rice, apple, cucumber and creamy orangy dressing. $3 for a rather large bowl! Then some tasty potato-kale soup. Again, a rather large bowl for $3.50 including some whole wheat bread.
