Last weekend I went to dinner with some of my friends from Knox Presbyterian Church. Last year a few of them volunteered with me at the Out of the Cold program there. This year some of them are busy so they can't make it out.
We met at Aroma (coffee shop) at Bloor and Bathurst then walked over to Korea House on Bloor near Christie subway station. As usual I had bibimbap. It's comprised of vegetables, meat and an egg on top of rice. It's one dish where you can control the amount of spice you put in. They give you a bottle of sauce so you can put on as little or as much as you desire. Since I'm not big on spicy food I normally put on little to none.
After dinner we went across the street to a Korean supermarket where some of my friends bought a few things. Then we walked back to Bloor and Bathurst to go for coffee and dessert. Instead of heading back to Aroma we went to Green Beanery on the southeast corner. It's a nice open concept place with high ceiling.
It was good seeing everyone again under happier circumstances. We had originally planned on meeting earlier, but it was postponed because of the passing of Pattra Sivers who had joined us on occasion at OOTC last winter. She contracted skin cancer last spring and passed away December 19th. Most of us met that time at her memorial service.
