Time goes by quickly and on September 8th it was our 36th anniversary. We've been fortunate to be in Paris several times and if not Paris quite often we have been in some other romantic destination to celebrate with a really nice dinner. So this year we took advantage of being in Meaford to eat at a special place we have driven by a hundred times but never eaten in.

I'm referring of course to Ted's Range Road Diner http://www.meaford.com/rrdiner.htm and as romance was in the air and someone forgot the camera, that website's pictures will have to do. Yes, it is a WWII quonset hut with a particle board interior that hasn't changed since it was bought war surplus in the middle of the last century.

But take a look at the extensive menu on the website. We had a bruchetta appetizer which was excellent, then I had a sea bass wrapped in roasted potatoes and Jo-Anne had a schnitzel that wasn't on the menu. Everything was perfect with excellent service and the atmosphere was about a funky as you would expect; including some bearded dude in the back playing Gordon Lightfoot on a guitar.

Romance was in the air ...
