Fresco's

Saturday 14 March

Today was the Brock University Archaeological Society's annual symposium, and the student organizers kindly asked that eminent professor, Dr. Holt Parker, to present a paper. Thus making their professor, Dr. Barbara Burrell, very, very happy. And at the end of a full day of presentations, both were delighted to go out to dinner with the organizers and other conference speakers at Fresco's, a Mediterranean-style bistro.
When we say Mediterranean, we mean ALL the Mediterranean, and beyond. For example, appetizers included various types of hummus, bruschette, and crab samosas (!), while the main course of citrus chicken was accompanied by two sorts of penne, roasted potatoes, various vegetables, and salads. But the end result was mainly Italian, with dessert being a very palatable tiramisĂș. The wine was a Chardonnay by Daniel Lenko - Katharine's suggestion, and an excellent choice. So thank you, kind students of BUAS, for an excellent conference, and a lovely dinner.
