Ribs at Alex's Bakery! Tasty Spicy lunch!

Last weekend I passed by Alex's Bakery on Bank st and saw they had some bbq chicken and ribs on the lunch menu that day.
From what I've seen they change the hot dishes they make every day and I think that ribs and chicken and just on the weekends?
I know the last two Saturdays they have had some very tasty spicy ribs and fish en papilotte- tilapia one day and salmon another time.
This is my lunch with the bbq chicken and I just asked for a tiny bit of ribs- this is not a whole portion. A whole portion I was told has "5 bones" in it. Not too sure what you call those. It is a decent size portion and the price is around $7.50 plus tax for the chicken or ribs.
The rice that day was jasmine rice and the meal also came with a side of guacamole!

Candied orange peel at Alex's bakery on Bank st: Ottawa!

I have been going to this small new bakery for the past few months.
This lovely and modern looking store is a new addition to the Glebe area.
Usually I purchase some pastries and bread a few times a week.
During my last visit I spotted a few interesting new items- some homemade jams and freshly made candied orange peel.
I happen to be a fan or candied orange peel with chocolate, orange marmalade-so this was right up my alley :)!
The lady working at the bakery told me that they freshly made the orange peel in the store. The display was very nice looking and the price was very good at .80 per piece.
Each piece of candied orange peel was aprox 2x3" and around 1/4 inch in thickness- so fairly easy to bite into.
You could see the texture of the peel quite well and it was quite tart in taste!
I plan on purchasing more of this peel for myself and for a gift to someone who happens to enjoy everything with candied orange.
If you have a chance do stop by and try this item.
