Matoi Sushi Lunch

Because our sushi craving wasn't satisfied the other day, we headed to Matoi yesterday after church. And what do you know, it wasn't open! Again! it was around 11:15am. They open at 11:30am so we hung around. Anyway, I'm glad we sticked around because mm-mm the food was yummy!

I got sashimi teisyoku and agedashi tofu.

And Danni got this beautiful bowl of chirashi. I had a taste of it (couldn't resist!) and it was yum too. :)

Would definitely go back again and try their other sashimi.

And then for dinner last night, I had this:

Isn't that a beautiful thing? My mom made it! It had lettuce, potatoes, shredded carrots, mangoes, strawberries, grapefruit, corn, chicken cubes, and this wonderful heavenly dressing! Thanks Mom!!

Late Entry: Cora's

We went to Cora's for a snack. We wanted to go to Matoi for sushi but at 4pm, they were closed. We headed to Cora's instead to give the sunny resto a whirl. I got this -- banana

hazelnut crepe. Yum. :)

Dan got a crepe as well, called Raspberry 4 Lucie.

Unfortunately for her, it looked better than it tasted. :(

I tried it and it was too sour for my taste.

She also said it had cream cheese inside that she didn't particularly like.

I don't think she enjoyed her dish. :(

Mom and Jaja decided to share this big plate of yes, crepes again, with fresh fruits on top. Yeah, we should have ordered something savoury as well, instead of getting all fruit-y dishes. Oh well, next time we know.

And as for Olivia, after studying the menu for a long time (while playing with her Mr. Big)....

She decided on a cut up bowl of bananas, compliments of the manager. :)

As soon as the bowl was placed in front of her, she grabbed a handful of bananas and placed them in her mouth!

Overall, a nice place to have breakfast or lunch. A bit pricey but I wouldn't mind going back again to try their omelettes or any other savoury dishes.

Ahhh....

I finally got around to sorting the towers of papers and binders not-so-neatly stacked on one wall of my computer room. The papers made their way into binders, the binders made their way to the shelf, the labels made their way onto the binders. Not fancy labels, but they do the job. My desk looks much clearer too! I can actually see the green floral paper underneath all the paper. Ahh... finally, some breathing room!There's still stacks of paper right now on the floor, but they're neatly stacked and sorted, and properly labeled. That will do for now. My only regret is that I didn't take 'before' pictures.

I made baked shrimp bruschetta. Off of the Kraft magazine after a trip to Save-On to return my recyclables. So yes, a pretty efficient day. Also did laundry and washed my favorite pair of suede boots that has seen better days. It looks quite good again. :)

Speaking of boots, I have been stalking shoe sites. Cole Haan, Nine West, Macy's, and Piperlime. Oh my...I wish they shipped to Canada, and that if they did, the shipping fee wouldn't cost another pair of shoes! Oh well, I guess better for my wallet this way...
