Sashimi Dinner!!!

Last time Macy made a fantastic meal for us in Cheryl’s house, you can read my post here “Macy, the Super Cook!!!” and this time while my parents are away, she brought 2 HUGE fish to my house and made a sashimi dinner, just look at the size of that thing below :p.  They were super fresh and yummy as expected, just didn’t expect Macy would know how to cut them right in front of our eyes.  We were very surprised that the price was quite reasonable, with a trout, salmon and a box of uni for $110, I was like dreaming, lol.  The whole procedure of the cutting part was very interesting and took some time, I really have to thank Macy for spending the time and made us a super nice dinner, the food was amazing, not only the sashimi but the beef and udon as well 😀

Little Emilie’s Birthday

Time ran by fast, little Emilie is already 3 years old and Grace and Simon decided to celebrate on the Easter weekend.  I know it was a long day for them because they had to go to a Easter egg hunt thingie really early in the morning in Aurora.  Anyways, I remember there were soo many kids at Emilie’s birthday party last year and it was giving me a headache.  This year, not a lot of kids, which was a good thing because we could finally get to chat a little without kids running around like crazy :p  Overall, it was a very fun night 😀

Miller Tavern to celerate Karen’s Bday

Karen’s birthday is next week, we decided to celebrate it early on this weekend to a fine dinning restaurant.  We picked out a few but most of them were full because of St. Patrick’s day but at the end, we got seats at Miller Tavern located at Yonge st. and York Mills rd.  Never been there but it’s sure very unique because you only see that 2 storey building in the corner and nothing else around it, so there is no way you would miss it :p

They don’t have a huge variety of food choice, the menu is quite simple as 2 pages and we didn’t need a lot of time to think what we wanted :p  Anyways, when the dishes came, I already knew everything would be amazingly good just by the looks and as expected, taste was really good.  We ordered 3 different steaks dishes cuz they are all VERY good as told, the black cod was also a surprise too, and you know what?  I haven’t had dessert for a LONG time and I decided to order one because we had the confidence to try everything there :p  Anyhow, the whole night was fun and all, I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone if you are looking for a nice dinner out, one hint tho, the price is not cheap :p

Valerie

It was Valerie’s 1 year old birthday a couple weeks ago and I invited Rosanna, David and little Valerie to my basement studio to have some pictures taken.  It was my very first time having a studio session with a 1 year old, it would have been a mess if I didn’t have any helpers there, so many thanks to Karen and little Marcus.  They also brought their own babies toys and clothes to make this event happen, took David 4 rounds to get everything from the car so you pretty much have an idea how much preparation that was.

How hard it is to take photos for a 1 year old?  Seriously, I thought it was easy but after the first 10 mins of the photo shoot, I realized there were a few issues that I wasn’t aware of, e.g. babies crawl super fast, they will not listen to you and super hard to get the right facial expression etc.  And after 2 hrs of the photo shoot, 550 pictures were taken, everyone was exhausted, Valerie even felt asleep right after. Anyways, I finally got the time to pick out the right pictures for my facebook and blog, they actually turned out pretty good considering that was my first time :p

Super Cook Karen!!!

Yet another weekend gathering @ Karen and Simon’s house, me and a few friends were invited over for a nice home made dinner.  She is already an amazing cook no doubt, maybe its the generic because her mom is a great cook too :p  I got there a little earlier than the others so I was watching the whole progress and she really made all those dishes looked extremely easy.  Seriously, with Karen and all other friends with amazing cooking skills, I really should learn from them and hopefully I could be that good someday 😀  Anyways, enough with the talking, lets take a look at all the dishes she did for us all by herself tonight and would probably make you go WOAH.

BTW, that lobster is over 5 lbs, just look at the size of those huge claws, really not easy to work with in my knowledge.
