Offering to the Gods
While paying for my way overdue, much needed pedicure last Saturday at Michelle Le Nails I noticed a small shrine in the entrance to the shop. This isn't unusual, especially at an East Asian establishment [Michelle is Vietnamese], but what caught my eye were the offerings to the Gods in the shrine: Tim Hortons coffee and a glazed donut! These Gods must be Canadian!
Tim Hortons is as much a part of the Canadian landscape as a moose or a beaver [heehee!], though of course as soon as we left Brooklyn, TWO locations opened up in our old neighbourhood: one on Court St and one on Fulton! There are 11 locations in total in NYC. I don't even love TH that much, I just love that it's Canadian. It would have been nice to have a little piece of *home* while living in Brooklyn.

Timmie's is all about being cheap and convenient! ;)
Lately I've been hooked on their whole grain blueberry muffins...Mmmm!
If were a God I would accept offerings of pastry treats! Yum!
I've never even had coffee or tea in my life but yesterday's after Mark's Citizenship ceremony we passed a Tim's at Madison and 42nd and were so excited!!
