Looks like a candle (!) but it isn't - great illusion - there's actually a bulb inside.

Yesterday's post hike snack and lunch:
Courage Bagels. Montreal style bagels that the New York Times considers to be some of the best bagels anywhere. A small shop with only a walk-up window. Open only Thursday - Monday from 7am to 2pm. No app or online ordering. We stood in line for forty minutes to place our order and then another 15-20 wait to have it brought out. Yes, it was worth the wait. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7384fc44aa.jpg On the left, my half order of hand sliced smoked salmon with cream cheese, tomato, onion, capers, dill, pepper, olive oil and lemon on an everything bagel. On the right, my friend and fellow moderator's Simply Delicious with cream cheese, capers, salmon, olive oil, pepper and lemon on an onion bagel. There is a limit of two loose bagels per customers. Next time, I'll ask to place the order in separate boxes. Next stop was a few blocks to the south at Daybird, Top Chef winner Mei Lin's Szechuan Hot Chicken take-out restaurant. Here we were able to order online. The chicken is moist on the inside and super crunchy on the outside (it is double fried). It can be ordered in five heat levels, I ordered mine hot, my friend went for medium. The french fries are creamy on the inside and maintain their crunch until you are done eating them; there was not a limp one in the bunch. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b4cd657a02.jpg |

I had ordered a Hindu meal on another flight that was awful, but the breakfast "dosa" was really good! (although the dosa was just a small part of the dish everything was quite tasty!) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f1ed7950a9.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...1065cc7d5a.jpg |

While I don’t always wait in line for food, there are extenuating circumstances where it can be worth my time. As it is, I drove an hour for legoland yesterday for a play date with friends. I’m just a social whore! I love seeing friends. |
Dinner tonight:
Eggs noodles with garlic sauce Potatoes chicken Kari Pork roast https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...079ac9c3_z.jpg |

I wouldn’t return on my own; it’s apparently the final Saturday of the month and this place is 35 minutes walk from home, or 15 minute drive/park/walk. It’s more social than anything else, plus I know my bestie appreciated my early arrival so that they only waited behind 2 parties; else it would have been 6-7 parties ahead!
