HOTHOUSE, Toronto, ON

I had supper this evening at HOTHOUSE on Front Street W with Franca, my pal of about 30 years (we worked together many years ago). We sat inside rather than on the patio since it was so humid (it ended up raining for a bit).

Here we are ... it was fun to catch up.

Franca and I

Franca had a Stir Fry (broccoli, peppers & bean sprouts, bok choy, baby corn and hearts of palm with a sweet & sour sauce, basmati rice) with shrimp. 

I had Lasagna al Forno (ricotta cheese, spinach, beef ragu, tomato basil, mozzarella).

Both were good.

Franca also ordered Strawberry Rhubarb Trifle (strawberry and rhubarb compote layered berween chiffon cake, vanilla pastry cream and chantilly). 

Katie took good care of us.
