Joanne and I had a STARFest meeting on Thursday afternoon. What a wonderful lineup of authors this year!

It is such a treat to hear these authors speak and have the opportunity to interact with them. Please join us!
As neither of us had had lunch, we decided to go to Macarons & Goodies at 103 - 50 St. Thomas Street. This is the shop that our friend, Barbara W., had introduced us to when we met her for coffee awhile back. Its pastries are to die for! But this time we decided to try something else. Thought about the Arctic Crepe (smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, hollandaise sauce and asparagus) but ended up having the mushroom soup with garlic toast. Oh, my goodness, the most delicious cream of mushroom soup with a mixture of nuts/seeds and dried cranberry stirred in! Incredible!! The dried cranberries were a perfect touch.
To top the afternoon off, Barbara came in to grab a (very) late lunch so we had a great little visit with her and confirmed our plans to meet with her on Sunday for coffee.
