Reminder to Self: Remember the Culinary Institute

Peter Rukavina

A repeating pattern in my life: one day every year, during the last few weeks of the spring semester at The Culinary Institute of Canada, I remember it offers both a great deal on lunch every weekday, and a grab & go market where they sell all manner of delights.

Yesterday was that day.

Lisa and I shared an excellent lunch, and we picked up everything from chocolates to meatballs to fresh baked bread. 

By far and away the tastiest thing we purchased was a loaf of Carrot, Raisin, & Walnut Sourdough bread. It is truly amazing.

A close-up of a brown paper bag with the label "Carrot, Raisin, & Walnut Sourdough," $6.00, with the ingredients, water, yeast, sour, bread, flour, salt, raisins, carrots, walnuts.

The problem now is that the semester draws to a close next week, and neither lunch nor market returns until October. To deal with this, I’m going to put a reminder in my calendar for October, with hopes that I’ll be able to enjoy both more than just one week a year.

Signs in the Culinary Institute: "Grab & Go, April 16: Final day for Pastry April 24: Final day of Production April 25: Final day open While supplies last See you in October!" and "The Grab & Go will be closed April 18th and w re open April 22d with limited supplies. Last da April 25th The Marche will be closed April 1gth and will re open April 23rd . Last day is April 24th The Dining Room will be closed April 18th and will re open April 23rd . Last day is April 24th"
