walking across the peace bridge sucksThe bridge is so not set up for pedestrians. It was so hard to find the entrance and the path was under construction and full of truck exhaust. Once we reached the other side we spent 20 minutes waiting for the boarder guard to even answer the door bell. All in all the walk home from Fort Erie to Buffalo took about and hour and a half.

Steve's Clam Bar On ElmwoodWent to Steve's Clam Bar over at Cecilia's on Elmwood. The Fanny Bay oysters were amazing but $26.00 /dozen which is kind of steep. That being said they were perfect and I didn't have to get cut shucking them.
We had those, the malpeque oysters, oysters rockefellar and 2 dozen steamer clams. It might have been the first time I got full on mollusks.
They have organic alcohol drinks nowwhich seems ridiculous but I am a sucker for that. I got a red snapper martini and (e:matthew) got a cucumber lemonade martini.

I agree organic alcohol sounds redic, but the drinks tasted good and were not much more than a regular drink.

They are definitely my favorite food. If you were here we would go more often.

Still don't know if I could hang with oysters. I've had steamed clams there though and loved them. Agree with Tony on organic booze. C'mon man!! Actually, cucumber sounds great in a martini.

wholefoods rocksThere were so many delicious food options that it was overwhelming. I would trade the coop for wholefoods anyday. Too bad the closest one is in oakville. There were multiple premade foods with octopus.
lilho - 07/08/10 19:42
I agree. It is so pricey to shop there though, and with my taste I always want the most delicious and most expensive foods.

My mistake. To me, trade or barter inherently involves comparing what is being bartered or traded, i.e. when sports teams trade players and draft picks.

I am not comparing. I am just saying I would trade one for the other.

I agree that Whole Food rocks. And yet, I am moved to say that I think it is unfair to compare a multi-national food retailer like Whole Foods with an independent food co-operative with one storefront. But that's just me.

It was supposed to say worst weekend ever. I ended up working on the windows some more. In a week they should be done.

Not sure if work is the tie in. The bad news is that it is the weekend and it has been awful. The good news is that hopefully since the weekend isn't over it can be redeemed . The other good news is that you don't have a gun. Hope things get better.

Papa Jake's on ElmwoodWe went to papa jake's on elmwood for (e:matthews)' mom's birthday. They had broiled scallops which looked good and I had clams and oysters which were also good.
Unfortunately, I also ordered a calamari Caesar salad. It was gross. Imagine a caesar salad with casa di pizza style calamari and a cup of grease poored over the top. I regret eating that.
This building is not Papa Jake's but a construction company next to it that has the worst exterior design I have ever seen. Its brick with rock and stuco.

Why did you walk across the Peace Bridge? (Or maybe more accurately, why did you drive across the Peace Bridge and then walk home?)
It looks like Matt is about to go into the Alamo or something. I'm so scared to go over that bridge on my bike.
