Toronto, week 2.

First of all, please look at Netflix's suggestions after watching Hostel II:

Not entirely inaccurate, is it?

---------------------------------------

Secondly - there's a new Legend of Zelda game on the market:

Photo with favorite game characters?  Crossed of the bucket list.

---------------------------------------

Lets play a game called "Stupid Ideas."

The subway cards for Canada have big yellow stickers on them that you have to peel off to make the card valid:

DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THAT STICKER is a transparent sticker that says "Do Not Remove."

Stupid.

Our stage manager, Dan, keeps M&M's in his office at all times.  You never know when you may need a drop of chocolate in the middle of a split.

Just don't eat too many, or you'll lose your teeth.

There's no way to prepare you for this:

And there are no words to excuse it.

Today, Sam took a few of us girls to a chocolate shop in Yorkville called MoRoCo: 

It was a high tea lunch with beautiful, hand-painted china:

And something truly decadent called "drinking chocolate:"

Each serving of tea came with a french macaroon.  The flavors we had were salted caramel, coffee, chocolate cherry, and coconut creme:

Here's my gorgeous tea set - I ordered the prickly pear rooibos.  Lovely.

Truffle mac-and-cheese for the table:

A view of the table from my seat:  I forget what Christie's sandwich was called, but it involved ham and melted cheese.  Delish.

My order: Strawberry/Fig salad with candied walnuts and a sweet lemon drizzle.  Heaven.

 A view of the macaroon display:

WILL POWER:  I did NOT buy peppermint bark.  Mark this date in history.

Truffle display.  Also devilishly tempting:

A short walk through the shopping district took us to the ROM - a wild looking museum featuring a Mayan exhibit.  I love the architecture - it looks as though a building erupted from the original structure:

On my way home from our lunch, I finally bought the leather jacket I've wanted forever.  It has the perfect asymmetrical neckline and just enough detail... I'm in love:

All in all, a very successful day in Toronto!
