had a wonderful birthday celebration on Saturday. The hubby made me a lovely breakfast of a tomato and cheese omelet on half a bagel. We then spent the afternoon playing Laser Tag with our friends. It was SO much fun, even though I got a major Goose egg in the second game and had to bail out early. After the Laser Tag game the hubby and I split a small pizza to hold us over until dinner.
We had dinner with a bunch of friends at a Japanese steakhouse called Teppanyaki. This is a fun place to go with friends because the chefs cook the food at your table, do tricks with the knifes, and joke around with the guests. I sipped a few drinks, and enjoyed delicious fare.
Gyoza and 1/2 salmon roll (split these with the hubby)
Egg drop soup
Salad with orange dressing
The rest of my meal included veggies, rice, steak, shrimp and chicken. I was stuffed!
Someone tipped off the waiter that we were celebrating my birthday and they brought me a little treat.
I shared it with my sister.
We ended the night with a bit of dancing, and lots of laughs.
This morning we had a family brunch at the hubby's aunts house. I had some eggs, 2 sausages, 1/4 of a cheese bun, some fruit, a piece of cheese, 2 mini quiche and coffee.
My mother-in-law made one of my favourite meals for dinner this evening - Creme Chicken with rice:
Dessert was half of this piece of lemon cake with creme cheese icing:
Exciting News!
In 3 weeks I will be going to San Fransisco for the Foodbuzz Festival (a food bloggers festival)!!
I just finalized the plans, and booked my flights and hotel on Friday!! I am super excited!! I cannot wait to meet some bloggie friends in person, and spend some time eating gourmet food, and hanging out with other food bloggers. As a featured publisher with Foodbuzz, my ticket for the festival was free, but I am still forking out a big chunk for the flights and hotel - I think it will be worth it!
Are you going to the Foodbuzz Festival? What was the highlight of your weekend?
