GRANPA LOVED ITALIAN GELATO-MEMORIES OF A NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE VISIT

 Adolph and I liked our day and overnight trips.

On one visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake we found the Carlotta ice cream store.


Adolph was checking it out.

To have an ice cream now or later. That was the question.

Sonya and I visited the same store. Great ice cream or should I say Gelato!!

GRANPA WOULD HAVE LOVED A SMASH BURGER

 A new way to eat hamburgers. The meat is smashed to keep in the taste.

So I was lucky to go to a gig with Sonya to Mikeys Smash Burgers in Newmarket last Thursday. Being with family and my two youngest grandchildren was fun.

A new place to eat in Upper Canada Mall.

I had the Pastrami Melt. The surprise was the patti with the pastrami. So delicious.

The fries have a spice on them that make them sweet and spicy. 

I will try them again next time I am at Upper Canada.

Meanwhile check out their menu on their site.

It is one thing to write about food but it is actually better to eat it. We had an informative conversation with Ian who spoke about the place and wanted to know how we liked the food.

I miss Granpa. He would have loved trying this place. He loved corn beef and pastrami. So that was the reason I tried the pastrami melt. Sometimes taking those memories and bringing them forward helps the soul.

CANADA DAY WAS ALWAYS BARBECUE DAY FOR GRANPA

 Adolph always liked to make a barbecue for the family on Canada Day.

Like so many other Canadians, eating and enjoying a family time is so meaningful.



Homemade swiss chard pizza.



Many Canadian images.



Flags everywhere.


Our Orange Crush toast to Granpa!




Granpa always wanted the last say. He did not like getting his picture taken so here's his answer.
Oh Granpa. Happy Canada Day!!
