30/07: Hot, Hot, Hot!!!!

Last Sunday was a quiet day catching up on jobs around house. We did manage to escape in the Miata for a few hours and met Donna and Doug for dinner in Clifford. I manage to run into Donna at a craft show but I think it's been about two years since we got together and had a good visit.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were hot, hot and hot. Shouldn't complain as this is what summer is suppose to be like and the cold weather will be here before we know it. The only air conditioning the Miata has is the wind generated while it is being driven. That means on the really hot days you cook if you drive in the convertible. So we have stayed home and have been catching up on the jobs that are starting to pile up.
Today, Thursday is perfect weather to go out for a drive. We choose to drive east to Creemore.
Have you ever watched the show "You gotta Eat Here" on the Food Network (it's a Canadian Show)? Ed and I have watched a couple of episodes this year. Turns out the show started January 6, 2012, so we've missed a lot of episodes. Thank goodness for the Internet as we can find the episodes that show cased restaurants in our driving area. One of the episodes we watched included a restaurant in Creemore ---- thus our desire to drive to Creemore today to have lunch at "Creemore Kitchen".
It's a cute little restaurant and easy to find as it is across the road from Creemore Springs Brewery.
I had a falafel --- the best I've ever eaten. "Organic Chick Pea Falafel, Flour Tortilla, Pico de Gallo, Kimchee Sauerkraut, Tahini, Hot Sauce & Organic Greens". Nice little kick without being too spicy. Ed had a burger --- good but not the best ever burger. "House Made Beef and Pork Burger, Cheddar, Roast Garlic Mayo, Tomato Jam and Fries". I think it could have used a little of the zing that was on the falafel. We finished lunch with a bowl of restaurant made raspberry ice cream.
We didn't tour the brewery today, we'll save that for another day when we come back to enjoy some more good food, but we did sample some beer. Luckily, we purchased our favourite varieties as our local Brewers Retail only carries one of the half dozen varieties of beer brewed by Creemore.
We walked around the village and found a small park with this fountain.
and some beautiful tiger lilies.
I found Ed a few roads with lots of curves as we looked for geocaches.
One of the caches took us to the top of a hill that yield this beautiful view. By the way we made our quota of 10 caches.
