TRYING A NEW BURGER PLACE- HERO CERTIFIED BURGER

 Returning from a downtown outing, I was hungry mid-afternoon so knew there were lots of food places at Jane and Major Mackenzie in Vaughan.

I noticed the Hero burger joint sign. So turning right from Jane I found a parking spot.

I ordered the Combo of the Heros special burger and upgraded the drink to a Strawberry milkshake.

I waited about 20 minutes.



The fries were hot and fresh and I ate most of them in the car before I left the parking lot. I had started drinking my milkshake as it was ready before the burger.

I ate the burger at home. Well it was a great burger.

A tasty patty of 6 oz angus beef loaded with their special ingredients. Smoked white chees, tomato, lettuce, onion, stripe of bacon, guacalmole. 

I loved it or maybe I was just hungry.

So another option for a quick fast food meal.

Well the bag is empty.

PRODUCE FROM ONTARIO- LOCAL IS ALWAYS FRESHER AND BETTER


 So looking forward to summer produce.

However Greenhouse growing has increased in Ontario.
I bought some very tasty strawberries grown in a Canadian Greenhouse.
Getting easier to support Canadian products.

EASTER PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY-CREATING SOME NEW TRADITIONS

 Grandpa loved lamb and to make lasagna. 

Well this new generation does not really like lamb very much. I do. But last year it was not eaten in a big way so no lamb this year.

A large ham.

Chicken Breasts.

Chicken legs.

Italian sausage.

Mashed potatoes and a variety of veggies.

Appetizers will include cheese, pickles and well I need to decide what else needs to be there.

Underway. I will keep you posted.

DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THE GREENHOUSES IN THE WINDSOR AREA

 Buying Canadian fruit and veggies is always a challenge in the winter.

Our buy Canadian campaign had a segment on the Greenhouses in the Windsor area. University of Windsor was featured.

I learned so little that it has made me interested in the endeavors in that part of Ontario 

Greenhouse growing at home for year round food.
