580. Last Weekend

Here is a very quick post from last weekend. I always say this but I'm going to try very hard from now on to make more frequent updates. I am so behind on my blog (about a month behind on my recent life posts and months and months behind on the vacation posts lol)..ahh. I probably make it sound like a chore but I actually enjoy blogging regularly because I can read back in the future. I just need to organize my time better and be more consistent with my posts.

So I wanted to post about my weekend because I had a lot of fun, and it was the night I introduced three of my closest friends to each other for the first time ever. This is something I never do/never done before. I usually see all my friends separately and never introduce them to each other unless we had all met at the same time. I have a few reasons for this but it's something I wouldn't do unless I knew for sure they would get along of course (which was true in this case). First I went with two of them to Gusto 101 for dinner. It was SO GOOD. I love their Regina Margherita pizza! We are definitely going to go back..the open industrial style in there also made it the perfect summer spot.



Then near the end of dinner one of my friends I hadn't seen in like 5 years texted me to meet up (he now lives out of town and was in Toronto for a night)...so I invited him out with us. We ended up walking to the harbourfront then sat at Amsterdam Brewhouse for some drinks and shots. It's our favourite patio by the harbour now - especially on the 2nd floor. We ended up patio-hopping until 2:30am and I took more polar bear shots, aperol spritz and sangrias than I should've hahah.

I can't wait for the rest of this summer. But our summer here in Toronto won't last for much longer unfortunately. Partly due to the fact that we don't get many hot days in a year...but also, my friends and I are all taking separate vacations this summer back to back/at different times so we would only have a few more weeks of summer together! But I am super excited for my vacation..

374. Recent Life

Random photos found on my phone from the past few weeks..most are food photos (as usual?)

As some of you know, Canoe is one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. Thanks to the cold weather, Canoe being connected to the underground path (which my building is also - so luckily I don't have to step outdoors), and them having the most delicious Beef Wellington sliders I've ever tasted..I've been going there more and more often these days. We always sit at the same spot with this view.

The beef sliders and "sammies" on the right - with bacon, cheddar and smoked mustard mayonnaise. I hate mustard and mayo but these were delicious!!


Niagara Apples dessert


Red Velvet cake


Different night from the above - the beef sliders again & vegetable spring rolls..so good!


The December 2013 issue of Paris Vogue. I HAD to get it because of the cover..I love the Beckhams!


Earlier this month I went to the Wedluxe show (for work purposes) - an annual luxury wedding show in the Royal York Hotel.




Dinner one night at Amsterdam BrewHouse. I had the chicken schnitzel. The previous time I went to this place was in the middle of summer. I remember sitting outside on the patio, with the sun shining down on me. I almost melted because it was so hot. But that night when we went..it was extremely cold and the lake was pretty much frozen. I can't wait for warmer weather to arrive again..so Hennessy and I can take daily harbourfront walks again:



Last weekend we went for a teppanyaki dinner at Memories of Japan for my dad's (belated) birthday dinner.
