July has been quite the month. I've gotten a part-time job on the weekends, which started purely as sales but may turn into collections management, and a volunteer gig I've been doing for ages has suddenly turned into a paid project. An old hostel friend of mine has been in town for a bit now, so we've been having several adventures as a result, including a recent jaunt to the Toronto Islands and a tall ship cruise around the harbour. I've got some great pictures from that harbour cruise, but they're going to wait until another post when I talk about that adventure and resulting project.
For the time being, I will post these pictures from the Islands. My friend had his birthday picnic out there, and it provided for a great view of the city.
I've got some adventures lined up for the rest of the summer, and August is looking packed. I'm headed to Washington D.C., Ottawa and the cottage! I have every intention of blogging them all, and some other bits in between, but for the time being, another Toronto Foodist adventure!
Fancy Franks of downtown participated in
International Hot Dog day and gave away free hot dogs!
Free hot dog!
I hadn't eaten anything that day when I had the freebie, so I ended up buying another hot dog from Fancy Franks, the Fancy 90210. Holy crap that was a good hotdog... avocado, tomatoes, and bacon. They weren't stingy either, it was one filling hot dog.
