And what do I dream of?
Dear Mrs Verma,
It's positively lovely today! I just got back from doing some shopping, and I barely needed my coat. If 6 degrees made me so happy, I think I will very much enjoy the summer. Hopefully that's when people here will also become less grumpy.
Oh that's right - I never mentioned that, did I? Before we moved to Toronto, the one thing that I consistently heard from people in London who had either been to Toronto, or were from here, was this ... "you are SO lucky. It's one of the best cities in the world. The people are great. So friendly! You're going to love it!"
Six months in, I'm still waiting to meet said people. And figure out what exactly is it that makes T-Dot consistently rank in the top cities across the world.
But perhaps it's me, Mrs Verma? Perhaps I'm the one who has Resting Bitch Face? This actually reminds me of something I once read online and totally related to ...
I don't have a resting bitch face. My bitch face is always on duty, ever vigilant. My bitch face will rest when its work is done.
But enough about the people and the city, for now. The reason that I brought up grumpiness in the first place is because the lady who served me at lunch today was the embodiment of that emotion!
As I was out shopping this afternoon, I decided to go to Kibo Sushi for lunch. We've been there a few times, and to be honest, it's a hit or a miss. The food is usually good, but the service really varies. There is this one Asian guy in the evenings who is very good, but most of the other servers seem a bit "why am I here?" about being there. Though, to be honest, I would probably be more of the latter than the former if I were a server myself.
Anyhow, the food was decent, and the sushi plate I got was so pretty! Not something I would dream about (I'm not Hiro, after all!), but certainly worth sharing a picture.
Isn't that a beautiful looking plate of food? And I have to say, the miso soup was actually really good!
I barely managed to finish it, you know. Five minutes in, this was all I had managed to get through ...
All in all, a satisfying meal today, that made up somewhat for the service. If I were a food critic, I'd give it 2.5 belans out of 5.
That's all from me for now, Mrs V. Hope the knitting is coming along well.
Yours,
GG
