Earth Day, Day 15, Winding Down

I have made it to the last week on this funky diet! So far so good. I had grapes for breakfast and went out with my new Red Hat Group the StrawBarrie Tarts. What a great time! The restaurant was called Pieces of Olde and used fresh baked breads, pies etc. Their sandwich fillings were fresh and not that pressed meat type. The pie filling was easily an inch thick. I didn't get to taste any, but the pies were going fast and furious out of the kitchen. What a better testament to flavour? It was wonderful. I want to go back when I am no longer on this diet! I had a salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette. It was very nice, made with fresh crunchy ingredients. It is very obvious that they take pride in what they serve their guests. After lunch we strolled the main street of the village. There is a bakery there that is fabulous! I gained 10 pounds on my first whiff as I walked in the door. I couldn't buy anything today and have any hope of staying on this diet, but I will be back. If you are in the Elmvale area in Ontario, you have to go here. I am looking forward to more outings with these gals. One of these girls is in the Raging Grannies, so we also have other things in common.

I ended up being out for dinner, unplanned but those are often the best! A tossed salad with sweet onion vinaigrette was on the menu! A nice meal for Earth Day. All sustainable foods and I car pooled today. I tried to consciously reduce my carbon footprint just a little more on this Earth Day.
