Point the first: I had a lovely time at the den with
Point the second: I dyed my hair an appalling shade of fake red when I got home. Appalling, I say. I think it’s called ‘Radioactive Red’ or something.
Point the third: Justin had friends from work over last night until 3am. They weren’t loud, but they were still audible and… there. This has resulted in me being sleepy as hell today. I missed my train this morning.
Point the fourth: I am convocating tonight, at 7pm. Before that, I would like to eat a little steak with
– Barberians, 7 Elm (Yonge & Dundas). “Barberian’s Steak House is a favorite of theatergoers before or after performances. All steaks come with rice, fries or an enormous baked potato. In addition to the extensive regular wine list, a 38-page catalog offers 1,000 other bottles. Monday-Friday for lunch and dinner, Saturday and Sunday for dinner only. 7 Elm St. (west of Yonge Street) 416-597-0335”
– Ruth’s Chris, 145 Richmond Street West. “Located in the Hilton hotel, Ruth’s Chris is most famous for its USDA prime beef cuts seared at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. This process locks in flavour and natural juices, and it shows. The steakhouse is well known internationally for their famous steaks. The downtown Toronto location boasts a comfortable dining room with impeccable service. (University & Richmond) 416-955-1455”
– Morton’s of Chicago, Park Hyatt Hotel, 4 Avenue Road at Prince Arthur. “No one can fault Morton’s for the quality of their steak: they only use prime USDA aged beef – among the best in the world – Char-broiled at an extremely high temperature, and served exactly as ordered. But all you get for the price is the steak. The potato, the vegetables, everything else, with the exception of the bread, is extra. (Avenue & Bloor) 416-925-0648”
Point the fifth: I have brought a very nice little French Bordeaux in my backpack with me to drink afterwards. It is a Lussac Saint-Emilion Chateau La Claymore, 2000 vintage. Tasty!
“Two wines not to miss: Serge Dubard of Domaine du Gouyat, has bought Château la Claymore in Lussac St-Émilion and his 2000 vintages are stunning – structured wines with masses of fruit and extract”
“Powerful & robust: Château La Claymore, Lussac-St. Emilion, Bordeaux, France 2000, Rich in ripe fruits, complex with elegant tannin”
I hope you aren’t waiting for a vote from me, because I am unable to make a coherent decision at the moment – suffice to say that all I need is the location and a comfortable seat. See you around 5:15 after my Licensing Appeal Committee hearing. (I’ve told Phil I must leave by no later than 4:00 p.m. to catch the GO…)
Get Joe to tell you his Chris Penn/Barberian’s story!
I vote Carmen’s. I used to love going there before I became a vegetabletarian. It’s wee, but the steaks are the best I’ve ever had. And the service is exemplary.

I went looking for a link, and I can’t find ANYTHING on them. I shall be very sad if they’re gone. Even if I don’t eat steak. 🙁
Oooh!
This is it!
Dontcha think it’s not cool that all these places don’t serve Canajun beef?
I am looking into the cookie thing.
Will post research findings soon (3pm, after hysterical sobbing about lack of hair has passed?)
sorry about pie, have no cookie icon yet
I wasn’t going to remind you – you’ve got more important things to think about – like convocating! (And I keeping sucking and forgetting to say CONGRATULATIONS!) and steak.

Waxer’s remose?
We taught the kids in my classroom observation Lussac’s law last week.
Lussac’s Law: for a fixed amount of gas (fixed number of moles) at a fixed volume, the pressure is proportional to the temperature.
P1/T1=P2/T2
The power of random association.
OOH- and congratulations on your new degree’d status!
