Prime Bar

On a stormy, winter Friday...I decide I am in need of a drink haha. So come 5'oclock a few of us had rum and coke in our cafe at work :P. then Kyra and her friend and I head out to Prime Bar.

It wasn't too bad of a snow storm, but it was pretty deserted outside and at the bar. I had this very yummy cocktail (can't remember the name though lol) and had some good laughs :)

Jam

january brunch spot @ jam.  started off with a peanut butter muffin.  for second course, malted custard french toast.  and the star of the show.....eggs benedict with crisped pork belly and beet hollandais.  

it was quite a delicious eggs benedict, but i think there was a bit too much cheese/spread.  will definitely want to go back to jam, but may try a different dish.
