Rainbow TwizzlersThe lovely Astaire (love the name) brought these back from Georgia - a few comments:

• Twizzlers should not come in other flavours than original as it is just wrong - the blue and yellow and purple ones taste terrible! Although I do like the packaging and they look good in those color combinations.
  
• I love Twizzlers especially from North America, they always taste better
• I love these little packs as they are a great snack size
• These were probably sold for the big build up to Halloween, which is something I miss, the Brits don't know how to get all excited for Halloween like the Canadians and Yanks do
• Now that Astaire is back we are going to have candy in the office every day - that is a bonus and a negative at the same time as we are all trying to trim down for the lovely sunny weather that is on its way! Our sun dresses may get one more chance to emerge from the closet into the fresh air (fingers crossed) and our umbrellas may get a rest...

Off to pray to the sun God for a lovely and non-rainy weekend in Scotland. But also off to find some wellies that are lurking in the closet, as sometimes our prayers aren't answered!

Summer rooftops

Located on the 18^th floor, The Roof Lounge at the Park Hyatt was indeed pleasant.

The pic is a scan of a little coaster which was placed in front of us. I thought that was a clever touch and a good conversation starter with the wait staff.

It may be hard to see as I could not scan it very well but it reads:

'I didn't realize how utterly pleasant it was to be here.' Marlon Brando

You get a lovely tray of dried fruit and nuts when you are seated; the dried apples were so tender and juicy they were gorgeous! We ordered soup & appetizers (asparagus and Parmesan shavings, yoghurt dip and Indian crackers, parma ham and smoked salmon) served with a lovely Cabernet sauvignon wine which was delightful.

The view is great but the walls are a bit high so you need to sit up tall to get a good panorama of the city facing south from Avenue Rd & Bloor St. It's a great way to see the Michael Lee Chin Crystal from another angle and a nice place for a first date or for a romantic surprise. Try something different, go for a drink or two on a hot summer night before or after dinner.
