new local

toronto's little italy, while full of lovely little shops, is not the most affordable place to eat and drink. which is why discovering musa this week has been both a relief and a delight. sheila and i stopped by yesterday on our way home from the pool and treated ourselves to some grape leaves and lovely mussels in a lemongrass, ginger, and white wine sauce. compared to the burgers and fries and grilled cheese sandwiches of my old local, it made me smile and smile and smile. definitely a step in the right direction.

i know what you're thinking, abi. mussels? in toronto? believe it.

yay!
