It is pretty hard to beat a couple of prime rib steaks done to a turn on the barbeque with baked potatoes and a nice salad and maybe a few baby carrots and a bottle of Jackson Triggs Cabernet Souvignon

Spaghetti with my special spaghetti sauce. 2nd would be a nice pork roast with roast potatos and carrots, done either in the oven or the bbq.

Talloola - When we lived in Courtenay 30 years ago, there was a small restaurant right across the highway from Driftwood Mall called the Winter Gardens run by an elderly German couple- she did the cooking he did the waiting- we used to love going there for Weinerschnitzel. I don't think we've had better food ever.

I remember them, they haven't been there for quite a few years, we also went there a few times, that
place has been a few different businesses, might be a second hand store now.
Was McSwiggins here when you were here? Very good place to eat, but it is now
called beachwood cafe, and totally different. It was right on the corner where
you turned to go to the Whistle Stop, and Toyota auto, and that street that goes
around by the little airport, (which is still there by the way.)

McSwiggins rings a bell but I can't place it. There was also the "Old House" on 17th St. just west of the bridge. Excellent food there but a little steep for the average wage slave. It's been over 11 years since I was last in Courtenay- should go back and see what my old place looks like at the corner of Rachel and Salsbury.

we just drove up rachael the other day, and went along salsbury, looking at our old houses where we lived.
that area has not changed much at all, a few new houses, but in general, the atmosphere is the same.
They did log out that forest between rachael and the big pipe, so probably has been reforested now,
they logged it out about 10 years ago.
Old House is still there, but they have bought all of the property around them, tore down existing buildings,
and built condos, 1/4 share type, but they do look nice.
The mill is also completely gone.

"Hungarian head cheese is really good, as you probably well know."
The BEST!! I used to go to a Hungarian deli in the Hamilton Farmers' Market to get some. I live in Winnipeg now, and sadly, except for one local deli, there is no good place to find good head cheese or sausage, for that matter.
