Thought for food

The Mac Shack finally opened in Vancouver. My sister and I have been eagerly waiting for it to open. We both love mac & cheese and when we heard that a restaurant was opening specializing in only our favourite meal well we had to try it out. It was well worth the wait. The decor is very pleasing to the eye but more importantly the food is great. It is comfort food done to perfection with a little extra added to make your taste buds go crazy. My sister had the Brooklyn and I had the Lobster Mac & Cheese. This is one place that we will be back to many times.

After lunch we went to The Secret Garden for afternoon tea. My mom is a regular there and after years of hearing her rave about it I finally got to go myself. You have no idea how excited I got over a cup of tea but after wanting to go hear for so long it was exciting to be there taking it in for myself.  I have figured out that I am a sucker for creamy Earl Grey. Yes that is my tea of choice. I would drink it all day long if I could and I am starting to think that I might take up afternoon tea every day. The British have it all right afternoon tea is the way to go!
