Friday...
Dropped off our Cervelos at Wheels of Bloor for full tune ups so they're in pro shape for the second half of the season.
After dropping the bikes off, we had dinner with Amanda's dad and family at Bella Notte. We love this restaurant but unfortunately my mushroom risotto was made with chicken stock so being a pescetarian, NOT GOOD. Oh well, just have to keep reminding myself to ask some questions. The dish tasted good anyhow and the salmon carpaccio app was delish. Drinks wise we opened two bottles of Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cab Sauv, their latte was good finish to the night's meal. After dinner we went back to Amanda's dad's place and had a swim and water gun fight, food was good and weather was great, it was a wicked night.
Saturday...
Woke up early to go to St.Lawrence market. Picked up Amanda's cousin and aunt on our way there and had a great morning. The local produce were beautiful and smelled so fresh, just seemed like everything was in season. Came back home and then started cleaning the house to some great jazz on the radio from the digital box. The two bottles of Amanda's new love, Pierre Sparr Riesling were wonderful in heat. Had a relaxing dinner on the patio as the storm blew in and just chilled for the rest of the night.
Sunday...
Woke up early AGAIN! Went to grab breakfast at Sunset Grill and then went shopping for everyday stuff and some stuff we didn't need but got anyways, hahaha. Grabbed some decoration for the walls around the house that we thought were just wonderful. We'd been looking for a chalk board or chalk board paint for one of the kitchen walls but we found this peel and decorate chalk sheet instead...
we also found these to go on the main entrance hallway wall...
And of course I found something to treat myself with, yep, finally Riedel. I'm ashamed to say it's taken this long. SO EXCUUUUUSE ME you wine snobs, I actually drink to enjoy and not for the la-di-da factor.
Wow, see I did do a lot and I'm already skipping lots. Let's wrap it up, we continued to clean the house and then went out for Japanese, came home and then started to prepare for the week ahead.
And the most important thing about this week... AILEEN AND JURG ARRIVES ON WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!!
