My oh my! There was such a thrift drought!!!
Yesterday we were heading west bright and early....
I was out to kill 2 birds with one stone, at least! First thrifting, second a car ride, third Swiss Chalet !!!
Swiss Chalet was on my 2014 restaurant bucket list. It is a canadian rotisserie chicken chain that we had in Québec but along with Red Lobster, Ponderosa and Montana's they eventually packed up and left.
It seems that Quebecers are particular....Well I've been missing Swiss Chalet for quite a while and what passes as rotisserie chicken here; St-Hubert; just left me wanting....
The Un-Candles and the hand mixer in Gananoque
I was really excited to find the Un-Candles unsed in their original box with wicks and everything!
I have been wanting some since I was a kid. I emember the ads on tv.
Of course they didn't fit in my parents Classic/Napoleon/ Renaissance decor....so no Un-Candles
They were quite a steel at $2.00.
As for my lunch; the fries tasted just as I remembered and so was the sauce, the chicken was really tasty and so were the ribs (we shared).
So It is really hard for me to say and I might even be disowned as a bonified Quebecer but I prefer Swiss Chalet over St-Hubert bbq!!! Now I said it! Amen!
The plan was to take pictues before digging in!!!
Next post more pictures and stories from the road trip :)
Have a great Sunday night!!!

Great finds,and I agree, Swiss Chalet is tasty, especially their gravy. Hubby used to go there for lunch in Edmonton all the time but we don't have one where we live now and I miss it. I always wanted one of those hand mixers, found one at a thrift and passed it up and never found another. Buy them when you find them!
Great hand mixer! I actually don't like Swiss Chalet as I find their chicken a bit dry...!
