Sweet Milton at Sweeties Cafe!

Monday was simply a stunner of a day. The weather was warm, the sun was shining, so I decided to take a little time off to enjoy the weather. As per usual, I like to take a small trip somewhere close to home, and I chose Milton.

Milton has a quaint historic town with a main street, historical homes, and lovely town parks. I parked the car right in town, and went for a walk around to see the holiday decorations starting to go up. After this I walked around the large pond in the middle of town.

As it got close to lunch, the inevitable happened: I was hungry. After having wandered around town, I found a delightful spot, with prices so reasonable I asked the owner if there was a mistake: Egg Salad Sandwich on home made bread with lettuce and tomato for $2.99.

For lunches I don't like fancy places: but rather dinners with comfort food using great ingredients. I had found my Milton spot: Sweeties Cafe: Bakery & Catering. I had a grilled cheese & bacon sandwich made with real slices of cheddar not processed cheese slices on home made white bread. I also had a small caesar salad with home made dressing and croutons. For dessert the lemon square was first class made with real butter, eggs and lemons. It is hard to find someone who actually uses real ingredients, and knows what to do with them.

So if you are in Milton, looking for a good lunch/breakfast/light dinner, I would highly recommend "Sweeties Cafe" at 20 Martin Street. The owner/baker is Karen so say hi when you visit this very friendly cafe.

Torrential Rains, Coffee and Jazz

Was at CJ’s again for a quick lunch with Laura before heading off to do my usual Sunday Open House. As per usual CJ was in fine form and the cafe was filled to capacity with an incredible duo playing the strings. CJ explained that the duo wasn’t even supposed to play, but filled in at the last minute since the previous act had cancelled. Only CJ could orchestrate a couple of talented musicians on a few minutes notice. For more information on CJ's cafe in Bronte: www.cjscafeinbronte.com

 

The teaming rain and thunderstorms of Saturday caused the canceling Saturday’s Jazz Festival in Downtown Oakville.  I’m not sure if this has ever happened before, but my heart goes out to the organizers who worked so tirelessly.  Friday night was incredible with a cool crisp breeze, blue sky, great food and jamming musicians. I noted today's festivities went forward, and the crowds were armed with Umbrellas. For more information on the Downtown Oakville Jazz Festival: www.oakvillejazz.com.

Now as I finished up this entry the sun has come out, and I can hear the great tunes drifting up from the Jazz Festival.
