My supper
A bowl of
Rokeach Homestyle
Matzo Ball & Chicken Soup Mix. "Contains no chicken."
And for dessert, a decorated gingerbread cookie concocted by London, Ontario's
A Couple of Squares. In fact, gingerbread cookies are the business's sole product. Mine came with a picture-perfect sugar-inked doggie. A
customized corporate cookie, it was, ordered up by the woman behind the Vieux Montreal souvenir and Canuck old timey shop
The Worn Doorstep. The pup's name, if memory serves, is True2. (And there's a special section on the Doorstep website showcasing
customer canines.)
Proprietor
Lesley Forrester asked us to watch the store -- and the dog -- while she popped into the loo. Our sudden, intimate complicity caused us to buy things (like moose-shaped pasta; very
heritage, eh). The cookie, in trade.
The Notre Dame St. building, by the way, is haunted, by the spirit of a pregnant woman who bled to death after falling down the stairs. What, you were expecting a happy story...?
