My Sister Got Married on the Weekend!

I’ve been away from the blog for a bit because my sister just got married this weekend. Even though it wasn’t my own, there was still a lot of running around getting everything organized for her big day.

Nash and I caught garter and the bridal bouquet, so I guess we really are next.

Now that my sister is married, we can focus on planning our own. I’m so excited. I felt like I learned a lot from the weekend on all the things that still need to be done.

I can’t believe we’re all grown up now and I’m super excited for my little sister.

Chefs Plate: Crispy Tonkatsu

Categories Food, RecipesLeave a Comment on Chefs Plate: Crispy Tonkatsu

Sometimes with Chefs Plate, you can learn a much easier way to cook something. This happened when I made tonkatsu. I had blogged about making tonkatsu in the past, but I usually baked it, used flour and cooked the panko beforehand.

This Chefs Plate recipe required just eggs and panko and could be done right in a heated frying pan with oil!It was delicious and juicy, not to mention quick. Both ways have their advantages, but when I’m hungry, I’ll definitely be doing this pan method.

Chefs Plate: Montreal Steak Strips

Categories Delivery/Takeout, FoodLeave a Comment on Chefs Plate: Montreal Steak Strips

I had a Chef’s Plate delivery last week. The first meal was Montreal Streak Strips. As always, the ingredients came handily measured and packaged. I always think that there’s not that much meat, but when I open the meat package, there’s actually more than I expected.

The steak strips were already in strips so I didn’t have to do any cutting and everything was very easy to cook. It was served with potatoes and green beans. There was a delicious honey mustard rosemary sauce that I highly enjoyed and I’m not usually a mustard person!

Tonymoly x Pokemon Pikachu Mini Cover Cushion

Categories Beauty3 Comments on Tonymoly x Pokemon Pikachu Mini Cover Cushion

When I want light coverage lately, I’m loving my Pikachu Mini Cover Cushion. It goes on light to hide imperfections but makes it look like it is still my skin.

The packing is super cute. The cushion applicator is a Pokéball and the front is a smiling Pikachu.

The best products are both cute and functional!

Sudbury Ribfest

We happened to be in Sudbury during Ribfest, so we got a half rack from Boss Hog’s BBQ.

Over there, a half-rack is generous, so we were too full after sharing this to try anything else.

We also had some Pappy’s Olde Fashioned Soda. I liked the grape and orange flavours. Butter beer was a bit too sweet. It tasted like butterscotch!

I spent the long weekend up in Northern Ontario. It was lovely to be out of the city (especially during the airshow) and to feel unrushed.

We stayed with Nash’s parents in his hometown of Espanola.

We also travelled to nearby places like Manitoulin Island:

Mclean Mountain peak:

Whitefish Falls:

I liked being surrounded by greenery. I’m back in the city now but I feel refreshed.

As you know, I was up north on the weekend. Any time I mentioned Nash’s parents live in a town near Sudbury, everybody always asked if I’ve ever been to the Big Nickel. Now I can finally say I have!

The nickel has overlooked Sudbury since 1964. Sudbury was originally established as a mining town where nickel played a big role.
It was modelled after the 1951 Canadian nickel with King George.

Yesterday, I went to Science North in Sudbury. There were a lot of animals and other fun contraptions. Here are some photos of my adventure:













This doesn’t seem to work:

We weren’t very good at putting this back together:




Supporting Local: Italian-American Dinner @ Sugo

Categories Food, Restaurant ReviewsLeave a Comment on Supporting Local: Italian-American Dinner @ Sugo

Sugo is a relatively new Italian-eatery in our neighbourhood near Bloor & Lansdowne. The atmosphere is very casual and inviting for families, something that is still a bit lacking in the area. They feature a lot of Italian-American classics like pasta and parm sandwiches and focus on the importance of good sauce.

I had the Rigatoni (pictured above) which was a pink sauce that had a spicy kick with grana padano cheese. It took a while to get the pasta, but it was totally worth the wait. The sauce was so good I wanted to lick my plate.

Nash had the Veal Sandwich with a super stretchy muzzarella and a generous amount of sauce.

I also couldn’t resist mozzarella sticks with marina sauce.

To drink I had a Americano Cocktail: Campari, Vermouth Rosso, Soda.

Nash had the classic Manhattan: Rye, Vermouth Rosso, bitters, cherry.

What I loved about Sugo was that it was good quality food without breaking the bank. Our bill was around $50, which is a decent price for both dinner and drinks. Welcome to the neighbourhood Sugo!
