Backyard Havens

With spring coming up soon people are starting to think about patios, porches, sunscreen, and breezy cocktails, not to mention hammocks. I spied the perfect little backyard haven with colourful lanterns behind an artists' coop. It even has a sun roof constructed out of bundled branches or something of that nature. A little slice of heaven within urban Queen West.

Cream of broccoli soup with a twist

What makes this cream of broccoli soup special? Abundant amounts of parsley and garlic, parmesan rinds destined for the garbage from a restaurant, and lots of beer! It was a versatile soup too - cold it became a delicious dip.

Three Speed

Went to three speed on the spur of the moment with @Evanjerred on the same rainy night of shooting the dufferin mall. I had no expectations of the place but I like it there. Pretty laid back, pretty lights, good crowd. And bonus, it's a five minute walk from my house. Here are some photos I took of the place.

I definitely had Waupoo's cider and seem to remember getting something else, but I forget.

Great lighting, and you can just see "three speed" in the right of the frame written on the brick wall
