    Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

    We had our staff Christmas party at the small room
    off the lounge at the Explorer where you attended that redneck
    wedding reception.

    The place is really benefitting from well to do winter Chinese
    tourism and has a new chef so the food is great once again. They are
    doing a lot of arctic char and (farmed) "wild" game things.

    The breakfast menu includes Eggs Frobisher Bay which is basically
    Eggs Benedict with smoked char subbing for ham.

    The lunch menu has a char, scallop, shrimp and crab chowder, char
    gravlax and char fish and chips as well as more mundane things like
    fancy ass burgers.

    The dinner menu offers elk goulash, a bison mixed grill of ribeye
    steak and beer sausage, elk tenderloin and confit duck leg, cherry
    wood smoked elk back ribs, and grilled local lake trout along with
    the standard steakhouse beef dishes.

    Guinness and then downed a number of Jamesons

    In our old age, a number is two or three, whereas
    it once might have been six or eight.

    Your're right ... I stopped at four, had just 1 glass of wine with
    dinner and drank ice water at the after party. And went home without
    stopping for the traditional last call nightcap at the Strange Range.

    Cheers

    Jim
