My soon to be hubby and myself wanted some original engagement photos… we aren’t really the type of people to sit in a park and stare into each others eyes so we did this instead….

Oh! I made the cake! (its done in our “wedding colours”)

Enjoy!

My wonderful better half designed and printed business cards for me for valentine’s day this year.

I just wanted to share them with you, I’m working on incorporating the brand into the site.

Why its always a good idea to be friends with your bartender…

Saturday night after service the bartender gave us a sample of his strawberry mojito!! Yummmm

Rhubarb Picking

Over the long weekend I went home to visit my parents. My Mother and I went out to visit my Grandfather’s farm and took the chance to pick some end of season rhubarb!

Shut Down

In the middle of a 13 day work week, and trying to get this site up and running but I still wanted to post even if its just quick.

Shot of the station shut down before I put the lids back on… I’m obsessed with tight saran wrap, lol.

The Crew

Quick post!! We had a slightly later start to service today so we had a few minutes to relax… I grabbed this shot of the team during our outside time (we love our outside time) ENJOY!

Days Off!!!

I usually manage to get my Sundays off, the restaurant is open 7 days a week so its not always a guarantee. Today was beautiful outside so I grabbed a much needed pedicure then me and my hunnie went to check out a bakery I’ve been trying to get to for a couple months now; OMG Baked Goodness in Dundas West. They close at 5 on Sundays and being that we didn’t get going until 4:30 I called ahead and talked to Lesley, she said no problem she’d be around for a bit still so we were on our way.

Lesley was awesome, we chatted about the ups and down of opening her own bakery (its something I may do in the future so I was curious) she gave me a tour, met the staff, sampled her mini vegan cupcakes (any vegans reading this will want to be ordering these by the dozens, I promise) I ordered a small sample of things to go; a beautifully, buttery turnover, a wonderful, best I’ve ever had butter tart (and I take my butter tarts VERY seriously) and finally a perfectly executed chocolate lavender tart. Next time I’ll be smarter and order more than one of everything, (perhaps half a dozen butter tarts?) her prices are certainly reasonable enough to be doing so! Props to you Lesley, thank you for taking the time to chat with a young budding little pastry chef.

A Champagne Toast!!
