into a convent i go

Took part in an evening meal with the boys at a place called "Lentil As Anything" located in the Abbotsford Convent. It's a not for profit, vegetarian restaurant that serves a buffet meal themed differently each night. The choice this evening, African. It's a simple idea. You can take part in the meal and pay what you feel. No fixed price. Seating is set up in a large room and spills out into a garden area and that is just a section of the historic building. The sisters of the Convent of the Good Sheppard took care of the grounds since the 1860's. After getting home, I looked it up and actually want to go back and wander the grounds. Love when a little local history and architecture grabs my attention.
