Kingsway certainly smells like Pho!

To my surprise, Vivian S. picked me up along with my mom and brother. We talked about Korey still being here, violins, strawberries, Frances and Randal's birthdays, Mom's bad interpretations of a certain random birthday card and the polar bears sticker on it, being fluent in Hebrew / Yiddish, spicy lollipops from Mexico, restaurant reviews about the curry and the 65-day-old chicken being killed, Mexican papayas, pedestrian-only villas, car-free zones, the third POTC movie (refresh yourself - jumps right into the plot!), wedding rehearsals, and upcoming trips to Israel. We found House of Dosas pretty quickly, and could smell the Pho when we got out of the car. (this is Kingsway, so of course there are a lot of Pho places - mmm, tomorrow's dinner... must tip better!) There was a Cedar House coffee shop which Jon wanted to check out for a bit, and it looked pretty nice!

Steph got there after we did, and Jon had to remind Mom that she was at the mercy of the bus so couldn't be on time necessarily! The curry and yogurt was pretty good, and so was the chicken with all those peppers! The papadam and roti were also pretty crunchy, and definitely a treat! Cindy and Dianne said that the place was good (they live two minutes from the restaurant), and they were right! When Steph heard that Mom and Jon had also eaten out for lunch, she was bemused. I told her that Korey was in town still, so things should be interesting tomorrow! We talked about Sam and Mike saying that Ivan drove really fast (140 on the bridge?), family drama causing Big G to come home two months earlier than scheduled (end of July), Steph's Toronto trips and weddings, Daniel and Nathan driving fast but not recklessly, Uganda movies, Gmail chat, Bible Study two weeks in a row, the upcoming barbecue, Karen going all out, Sean coming back for Hon and Eva's wedding in August, Phil's wedding, Eunice moving to Burnaby in two weeks, her dad's eye operation, teaching people and knowing certain neighborhoods well, and birthday cards. I gave Eunice's birthday card to Steph since she'll see her on Saturday for a hair appointment (the last one ever from us!), and Jon told Mom that our water had been filled up many times. (that's a good reason for more tip!) Definitely an interesting time out!
