CN Tower
Some people would call me crazy and maybe I am completely barmy, but I invited Patrick to dinner in the 360° Restaurant in the CN Tower. I payed more than I ever payed for a dinner, but it was worth it. The 360° view from a high of 340 meters above the town through glass walls is fantastic and the food was delicious.
I had:
Appetizer: 12 OYSTERS in their own juice with either lemon, tomato or raddish
Main: BRAISED ONTARIO RABBIT AGNOLOTTI AND ROSEMARY GRILLED TIGER SHRIMP
Wilted spinach, sage butter, Pecorino chees
Dessert: CINNAMON RAISIN BRIOCHE BREAD PUDDING WITH CARAMELIZED BANANAS
Rum raisin ice cream, fresh orange, coconut sauce
It was sooooo good.
Patrick had:
Appetizer: CARAMELIZED SEA SCALLOPS ON SWEET CORN SUCCOTASH
Pulled smoked ham hock, house cured bacon
Main: GREEN OLIVE CRUSTED ROAST RACK OF LAMB
Fennel and potato gratin, summer pepper confit
Dessert: DARK CHOCOLATE TOWER WITH PRESERVED SUMMER FRUITS
Raspberry vanilla crème Anglaise
The memory alone makes me hungry... I want to go back and eat again... He was nice enough to let me taste everything.
This was the first time I tried oisters and I liked it a lot. People say they are slimy and ugly and yes, they are, but they taste sooo good. Delicious. Too bad the restaurant is already closed for today.
Patrick made a few really nice pictures, including this one:
My face looks a bit swollen, since I'm still ill, but who cares? Look at the view! Did I mention that I'm afraid of highs? I was so scared up there! One part of the observation deck even had a glass floor. I'd have never dared to step on it, hadn't Patrick held my hand. The second he offered to go back to 'save' ground I almost jumped there, I was so glad that I couldn't see the city 337 meters beneath my feet any more.
When we came home we watched a movie together. Laws of Attraction. Silly, but funny. I gave him a massage afterwards and he almost fell asleep. I liked that. He is only the second person whom I massage for free, the first one was Maarten. My ex. That still sounds weird.
... I don't want to go home. I want to stay here. I want to forget all the problems I have at home and start a new life here. Learn something new. Maybe be massage therapist at the side when I'm in the mood for it and do something else for a living. Something that actually can earn me a living. With what I earn as a massage therapist I can't support myself on my own. I didn't think about that aspect of work life when I decided to become what I am now. I don't hate it but in a way I'm disappointed.
And I'm a bit tipsy, so I better wrap this up here and get some sleep. Have a nice day/night!
