"The Office"

Wednesday 24 March

Not the popular Brit TV show, or the popular American TV show, but the popular St. Catharines dive.
John and Lisa, Danny and Ingrid. With six you get the chef's appetizer blitz, mostly Mexican in inspiration: nachos, quesadillas, a salad, gnocchi (not especially Mexican), Canadian French fries (not French-Canadian fries), which Canadians do really well. The food was not especially memorable, in part because it was BYOB night (with a corkage fee going to Corks for Cancer, a horrible name but a nice idea) and in other part because the conversation took complete precedence, veering (somehow) between Welsh childhood, Foucault and archaeology, the Rebecca Riots, Mel Brooks, inter a whole heck of alia. Not to mention the "Jews in Rome" joke. I told you not to mention the "Jews in Rome" joke. So anyways, it seems there was this pope . . .
