Taste of Regina... flashback to Sunday's eats

Below: SoHo Restaurant's Orange Sorbet in an Orange... sweet (perhaps too sweet?) but I'd have another.

Wish it were all good news people.

Above: A tasty caramel sauce on dry stale brownies. Origin unknown.

Above: Cajun Chicken Burger from Zest Restaurant. Nice sauce, not excited about the overcrisp overcooked overbreaded chicken though.

Above: Untasted Empanadas. Alfredo's.

Cement and man-hole covers

Currently there is a project in my neighbourhood which is apparently taking every last sewer pipe related opening (manhole covers, drains, what-have-you) and either putting a cement ring around it or just simply surrounding it with cement. Plus these guys are doing something down in the sewer. Needless to say, the roads are a complete maze by this point, narrowing in many places to the width of a car.

One last photo from the Taste of Regina

The Butter Chicken from India House

Very, very tasty.

A Taste of Regina continued... (Saturday in Victoria Park)

"Family Fun Day" in downtown Regina

This is the Fudu dancing where kids can join in with the adult lead dancers for a freeform dance session.

A Taste of Regina

A nice idea. $5 for 4 coupons, each place had a mini-dinner for 4 coupons, a side for 3, and a dessert for 2. Portions were small, but hey, you're there for a taste!

My camera battery expired, so no shots of the food unfortunately!

Cinema 6 Drive-in from the highway

Regina's twin cinema as immortalized in the song by the New Pornographers.

It closed this year for good. So many fond memories, so glad I was able to take my boys to experience Regina's last drive-in before it was gone.

So, whatcha doing?

More odds and ends from Canada Day afternoon

Pemmican Pearl was the master of ceremonies.

The next band prepares to play...

More from Canada Day afternoon...

Usually there are two missionaries wandering the park discussing the world after this one, but today they took a break to hand out Canada flags.
