A great weekend...lots of creative time, catching up with my friend Kim, girlie movies, great music with a touch of dancing, yummy food, angel card readings.  I always go home missing my little family, a bit tired from staying up till 3am and feel good about being productive.

Wine Club - Malbec

Even though I don't indulge in wine at wine club while preggo, I'm so lucky to have these girls to get together with every month or so. It's so great to catch up, chit chat and have many great laughs.

The tasters of the evening:
Kendra, Lian, Michelle,
Jocelyn & Trinette
Trinette was our lovely host this evening and she made the most delicious beef roast I have EVER tasted...she's an amazing cook!
Here are the malbec reds that were tasted this evening. Malbec wines are often associated with Argentina as the grape is most popularly grown there. It is best known for it's dense violet color with sometimes hints of dark coffee, blackberries & chocolate flavors. Notes from the tasting:
The Show - 2009 - $12: nice dry red, consistent from start to finish, fruity
Alamos - 2009 - $12: spicy smell, mild dryness, smooth
Los Cowboys - 2008 - $13.40: hints of plum & chocolate, deep inky purple color
Melipal - 2007 - $19: 100% malbec, from 80 year old vinyard
The Gaucho Club - 2007 - $12: great with red meat & heavier cheese (asiago)

Loved the look of this bottle.
Mmmm, roasted sirloin tip medallions with bernaise sauce, cheese topped mashed potatoes & steamed asparagus.
And for dessert, tuxedo chocolate covered strawberries...sooo good!

Thanks again girlfriends for a wonderful evening and thanks to Trinette for being such a gracious host...and it was so cool to be able to tour your house!

We shared Valentine's Day celebrations with Pieter & Dawn at the Olive Branch Bistro in Carnduff, SK. We had an amazing meal, some great laughs and caught some pics to remember the evening.
Wine for drinkers...it was good to have a smell.
Pumpernickle bread with a yummy warm spread.
Delish house salad.
Pieter's spagetti & meatballs.
Dawn, Cory & I had these crabcakes in a buttery-lime sauce...so good!

We indulged in their famous cheesecake for dessert, but had to take it home since we were so full from a wonderful meal!

Dinner With Girlfriends
We travelled to the village of Forget (population approx 29) this evening to celebrate my friend Jocelyn's birthday at the Happy Nun Cafe.
I was amazed by my first visit to this fantastic restaurant, just a short 50 minute trip from Oxbow. The part I was most impressed about was the warm atmosphere, delicious food and customer service.
Appetizers...

Good company...


Great conversation pieces...
Their menu is simple and it works...choose from three daily items
Cozy atmosphere...
Vintage touches...

Dessert...


Great friends...
Hot cocoa...

Happy Birthday Jocelyn (here she is with the cook)!
A great night! I think I speak for the rest of the group when I say we'll be heading back to The Happy Nun very soon!
