We're close to the eve of another Bananacake Brunch. Like sue said 'tis the season for parties and libations....I do wonder if it will be the Banana's or another Caker down for the count this saturday. The good news is that we're going to Verviene...which i have had brunch at before...hungover...a number of times. And they do serve the best cure for a hangover...a fantastic Spicy Ceasar just loaded with horseradish!! This girl is draggin' her ass to the last BCB of 2006!
Excuse the writing...i'm the Art Director in this little 'family', my writing is a little rougher than the Writer/Student (Sue) but it looks like we're the only one's bloggin' anyway so suck it up!. The Marketing Manager/Travel Consultant (Jen), the Director of Brand Integration and Communication (Nat) haven't posted yet and neither has the Vice President of Client Services and Training (Joel)....i'm thinkin' the longer the title, the less time for BLOGGIN'...i'm sticking with 2 words.
JULY '06 LeSelect Bistro
432 Wellington Street West

The one that started it all. Four girls who used to see each other EVERYDAY (at one point or another) are now in their early 30s, desperate to see each other even once a MONTH. How does it happen? High falutin' jobs, entrepreneurial ventures, traveling, bookclubs, university courses, various men taking up all of our time!? The tragedy!
I don't remember what I ate, but i remember it was a beautiful sunny day, and we had such a great time that Jen made a schedule....in ALPHABETICAL ORDER!!
So my pick was next (D is for Dana!)
AUGUST '06 The ONLY Café
972 Danforth Ave (at Donlands subway station)
I used to spend a lot of time here when I lived in the neighbourhood. It's not THAT bad of a neighbourhood sue!! The Only was like a home away from home with a million types of beer and a pinball machine. Of course there's no beer at brunch but if anyone is listening...
They make a fantastic brunch Huevos Rancheros is my fave...or the Cowgirl breakfast...they lace their coffee with cinammon and you can bring your hangover and wear your trackpants...it's ENCOURAGED. Our dear girl sue laid her head where so many have done before. (ooh, that sounds bad).
OCTOBER '06 BarOne * picked by Jen
924 Queen Street West
Great spot jen, the food was awesome and it was a lot quieter...oh wait, nat wasn't there. We had a great time calling her, but we couldn't get her to drag her sorry arse off the bathroom floor. I'm wondering if maybe we should start 2007 brunches at an AA meeting??
OCTOBER '06 By The Way Café *Nat's pick
400 Bloor St. W.
Lucky it was Nat's turn to pick...she bought brunch for everyone as a penalty for missing two in a row...if one of us had picked we would have gone all upscale on her ass.haha, just kidding. It was nice that the four of us got together, one of those days when i really realize how much i miss you guys!!!
NOVEMBER '06 Insomnia Cafe
563 Bloor St. West
* Supposed to be Grapefruit Moon, but nat made us change the time to 11 (lineups girl!!). We didn't get in...Sue was sick, ahem, hungover...for HER OWN BRUNCH. Joel and I stood outside Grapefruit moon staring in the window at the nice people eating their brunch...trying to make them uncomfortable enough to leave but to no avail. Nat and Jen met us, with a BCBL guest Nabisco. We wandered down to Bloor and wound up at Insomnia, which is across the street from Amnesia...what IS it with the Annex?? Jen, you should tell Jo to open a club near there: Therapy? Not the best food but the company was great. Lot's of great talk about traveling based on Nat's impending trip to London/Oman/Dubai -Maybe she'll post a link to her awesome pictures if you ask nicely!
So that's my post...all about the pics baby! See you after Verviene!!
