I love Guthrie House for many, many reasons. 1) Parking there costs as much as public parking; about a dollar per hour. 2) There's a great supermarket that very few people go to. 3) Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is available for the much needed caffeine boost. 4) Simply Bread! Need I say more? This is the place we get our weekly hit of sticky buns and cinnamon loaves for ourselves, and wholemeal rolls for Chubbs. Fuzzy especially enjoys their scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. 5) Last but not least, it houses an Italian gelateria.
The last part might be Chubbs' favourite. I take a short walk with Chubbs on some evenings to Guthrie House, carrying him in his harness, to do some supermarketing, and of course, replenish burnt calories from the walk. Yesterday was no different; after paying for groceries, Chubbs charged into the gelateria before I could stop him, planted himself in front of the big fridge, and stretched out his arms out for me to carry him, so that he could look at the gelato flavours available. The default flavour is vanilla, and I got a large serving to share with the little one. Fuzzy joined us on his way back from work, and picked yoggi and dark chocolate flavours, which were both excellent. Chubbs helped himself to more than half of the bowl of gelato and was most pleased. Thankfully, he still managed to eat his dinner fairly well after that. Dessert before dinner? Why not.
