Christmas Around Town

We drove around looking at Christmas lights with our grandson.  Forgetting my camera at home once again, I took pictures with my iPhone.  The good, bad or ugly (referring to my photog skills) - I'm sharing them anyway.

  

The Christmas house on Tranby at Mathew Brady.  

 The fantastic display of lights is set to music that unfortunately can't be heard on the video.  It's not too late to get out there and see it for yourself.

This house is in East Windsor. I think it was somewhere between Banwell Road and Clover.

Centro Restaurant

We're going to Centro Restaurant, Caffe and Bar for dinner. I peeked at their website and as usual I looked through the entire menu. I cannot wait to get in there and sink my teeth into all the goodness they have to offer. I'm not sure how much I think I can eat but it better be enough to include Nutella pizza as well as dessert.

I guess I should thank whoever manages their Twitter account (@CentroWindsor) for following me (@Homeflower)and bringing their establishment to my attention.
Thanks dude or dudette for the follow.

I will update this entry to include pictures of my selections and a brief critique.
Did I give Centro Restaurant a "Rave" or a "Wave Bye Bye" review?
Hmmm, read on and see.

Our appetizers and meal

Tuffo Spinach, artichoke and four cheese dip with cream cheese, provolone, fontina, mozzarella; served with pizza "fritter"

Cozze Steamed mussels in a white wine fresh tomato sauce with chili pressed olive oil

Panini Served with spiced eggplants, peppers, onions and garlic baked in a wood burning oven and topped with fontina cheese. My Husband ordered it with chicken and I ordered the "Verdure alla Griglia" (the vegetarian version)

This fabulous meal was followed by a terrific dessert of Nutella Cheese Cake.... Yummmm! So I give this two year old restaurant a total Homeflower style "Rave". Centro Restaurant 770 Erie Street East, Windsor, Ontario Phone: (519) 253. 1110

The only thing I did not like about Centro is their website. It's beautiful to look at but you can't zoom in to read the content so in this regard it isn't wonderful. For myself and others like me who rely on the zoom function to properly see content, flash sites are a thumbs down. It's not a big deal but it is a hinderance.
