Thank you all for the anniversary wishes!
On Saturday morning the hubby and I were up bright and early, as we were heading to Saskatoon to visit my mom. I had a bagel and OJ for breakfast before we left:
In Saskatoon we had lunch at a Coffee shop/ Korean restaurant. I had Bee Bim Bap:
All stirred up with lots of hot sauce:
We spent the day visiting with my mom, and then found out that "Taste of Saskatchewan" was happening in the city. It is a festival with different restaurant booths set up. You buy tickets and can sample foods from different restaurants throughout the city. We went there for dinner, and shared a bunch of foods.
This looks like a lot, but I only had a few bites of each thing. We actually ended up wasting a lot of food because we had tickets to use up, so we just tried a taste of some of the things.
Pasta
Enchilada
Green Curry
Butter Tart Flambe. This was INSANE.
Deep Fried Ice Cream
Deep Fried Mars Bar
We left happy :-) And full.
This morning we had my family over for breakfast.
We had mimosas, waffles, mini fritattas, and bacon:
This was my plate (1/2 waffle with strawberries and whip, 2 mini fritattas, 2 slices bacon):
Our mimosas were made with sparkling wine and POM Juice. The kind people at POM Wonderful sent me some free POM to try. I have had the regular POM juice, and so today I tried the Mango POM:
This juice was excellent in the mimosas, but also great by itself. I prefer it to the regular POM as it is a little less tart. It has a slight sweet flavour. The mango flavour doesn't stand out, but it does taste different than the regular POM juice.
The regular POM juice has only ONE ingredient - Pomegranate juice.
This mango POM has only TWO ingredients - Pomegranate juice and mango juice.
It is loaded with antioxidants, and is 100% pure.
Many other companies purport to have 100% pomegranate juice, however if you check their labels you will see that this is not what you are getting.
This juice is expensive, at approximately $5 for 473 ml and it is perishable (good for 14 days after opening) - but keeping the ingredient list in mind, I think it is a fair price to pay!
This evening we had the hubby's family over for a hotdog roast :-)
Yes, I went from 100% pure, natural juice ... to hot dogs. Hehe.
Dessert was a strawberry rhubarb crumble.
Before:
After:
I had a small portion of the crumble with 1/2 cup ice cream, and a s'more:
I forgot to mention that I hurt my ankle/ foot about a week ago. While dancing last Friday I must have jammed something in my foot, or pulled something, because it felt funny all week. It is still hurting when I move my foot a certain way, or when I walk too long on it. It is not excruciating, just uncomfortable. I am going to have it looked at tomorrow if it is not better.
What did you do on the weekend? What was the highlight? Do you ever sit around a fire pit and roast hot dogs/ veggie dogs, marshmallows etc.?

Aw, your table setting is so sweet - breakfast with friends/family is always a nice treat. I hope you guys had a great time! (How could you not! Look at that food.. mmmm)
Looks like you had a great weekend!!
We roast marshmallows on occasion - wish we did more often! :)
Wow sounds like you guys had one packed weekend. Love the idea of the mini fritattas. We had a busy weekend too: lake day, dinner with friends, knocking tons off the to-do list. Hope your ankle feels better soon. That's never fun.
Wow, look at all that delicious food- yum! So sorry to hear about your foot - I hope you take care of it and that it starts to feel better soon!
Sorry to hear about your foot/ankle! Rest up, hope its better soon!! Girl you are brave to tackle those dogs...I cant stand the thought of eating one!! Maybe its just because I know what they are made of haha but when I was little I use to love them with chili!!
Mmm, pom mimosas sound like a great twist! This weekend the highlight was going out with friends. I don't get to have fire pits very often, but that sounds super fun!
I hope your foot/ankle feels better!
