WELCOME



Every week my husband and I try a new breakfast spot in Calgary. I'd love to share the experience with you. I'll include where we went, what we ate, what we thought of the restaurant and a link if you're interested in trying them out!

Reading is a passion of mine and in the past, I've shared some of my favourite reads. My reading interests have changed over the years and although I still enjoy a good self-help book, fiction is a solid second.

There you have it! Two of my favourite things, eating out and reading!

Week 19: John's Breakfast and Lunch

John's Breakfast and Lunch is located at 2614 4 St NW, Calgary, Alberta
John's Breakfast and Lunch looks fairly nondescript from the outside and cozy and bright on the inside! There are a few tables on an outside patio but the fall morning chill drove us indoors. The serving staff are super welcoming and we were fortunate to find a seat next to the window, street-side. 

The Menu has a full offering of omelettes, eggs benedict, french toast and traditional breakfasts.  Bill chose a benny and I opted for the vegetarian omelette. The portions were generous and the vegetables in the omelette were fresh and not heavily oiled.  Often one of the downsides of a vegetable omelette is the vegetables are precooked and have gotten a bit soggy and tasteless.  Not so at John's!  The restaurant had a steady flow of customers and the atmosphere was relaxed! We would definitely go back and next time I'll try the French Toast.

My next post will be #20. We have circled back to restaurants on the blog a couple of times. Once was a return to The Holy Grill on 10th Ave. SW and the other was OEB on 1st Ave. NE. I'm starting to feel a bit "breakfasted out". We have really enjoyed exploring the Calgary breakfast options and have also enjoyed experiencing new styles and the way restaurants source their food products.  It's encouraging to know that local producers are supported as well as healthy eating choices. Evolution at work! I've yet to decide on a new direction for the blog and look forward to seeing what emerges!

The Book

This week I'm reading Lars Kepler's The Rabbit Hunter. Lars Kepler is the pseudonym of husband and wife team Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril. This is the 5th novel in this series that I've read and am loving this one. Investigator Joona Linna is serving time in prison and is          
temporarily released to search for the killer of a high ranking member of the Swedish government. Joona soon concludes that what Security Police thought was a political assassin is, in fact, a serial killer!

While working to create a profile and motive, two more people are killed and Joona discovers there are eight more people on the killer's list.  The killer leaves a cryptic nursery rhyme at each scene and no other clues. When the third victim is identified, all the rules of the investigation change!
