Last night the hubby and I got dressed up and headed out to a fundraiser for our local Science Center. We went with our friends Jeff and Alaina.

 |
| Some kind of raw fish on a cracker & crispy polenta with pork belly |
 |
| Pulled Pork |
|
 |
| Cheesecake cup |
 |
| A warm salad |
 |
| Can't remember what this was :-) |
 |
| Some things I can't remember, but one of them was made with beef tongue - it wasn't good |
 |
| Kangaroo Meat on a Bun |
 |
| A Poutine Spring Roll and Some other thing |
 |
| This was a dried ice thing made from the essence of popcorn |
 |
| Foie Gras with Black Truffles (this was nasty) |
I tried quite a few foods that I had never had before, including kangaroo (tastes like beef), beef tongue, and foie gras. I would eat the kangaroo again, but the others were repulsive. My favourite bites of the night included the fish taco, the beet with goat cheese, the pulled pork sandwich and the pork belly with crispy polenta.
Have you ever eaten kangaroo? Foie gras? Tongue?

You look gorgeous! Didnt realize your hair was so wavy...you look marvelous.
And that rose champagne..marvelous too!
Looks like such a fun time!
You look gorgeous - love your hair in that photo!!
I have not eaten kangaroo, even though I spent a semester studying in Australia. I tried Foie Gras in France and did not care for it at all. I've never had tongue, but have heard it can be good when it's slow roasted? A local authentic mexican place sells beef tongue tacos. My brother tried them and raved about them but I just can't force myself to try them as it sounds repulsive to eat tongue!
Love your hair! Very cute.
I've never had any of those three:)
Well I'm drooling just looking at these pics. A Poutine spring roll sounds genius!
Ummmmm the food looks good! And you're hair looks AMAZING!
Jolene!!! You look stunning!!! Love your hair and just about everything!
I've tried foie gras and tongue (yuck) but not kangaroo...yet.
I ate kangaroo this past weekend!! And omg...I love truffles!!! What a fun event!
