HFX LUNCH

My daughter and her friend were in the dance camp the last week of summer vacation. To celebrate the end of summer, we took the dancers out for lunch. Ristorante a Mano was the kids pick.

Ristorante a Mano ( a Mano for short) is an Italian restaurant situated In Bishop’...

My daughter had a three day swim meet in Wolfville last weekend which meant three days of beautiful scenery, lots of fast swimming and, of course, many choices for good food.

One main characteristic of competitive swimmers is that they have huge appetites and need high...

My daughter and I had heard through the grapevine about a newish Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) place. When I mentioned this as a lunch possibility, my younger daughter quickly countered with her interpretation of KFC: Kids Fattening Centre. This possibility of a Korean v...

My daughter had a three day swim meet in Antigonish this past weekend. She had fun swimming and I had fun looking around Antigonish, a place I hadn’t been for 20 years.

Saturday night as we were looking for a place for dinner, she exclaimed, “I am astonished at the num...

This week we had a special guest at the Wednesday lunch, my mother, otherwi...
