Friends & Comfort Food

This weekend was filled with friends and comfort food. 

Thursday I went for dinner with my mom and we shared Fish & Chips at Edith & Arthur's. Later on in the evening Elissa and I went on a date to Cactus Club to have some dessert & wine. We had a great visit catching up talking about everything under the sun. While we ate heavenly chocolate, our husbands were together at our house watching the Canucks win!


You guessed it! Two Chocolate Lava Cakes for dessert... Love <3

Friday David and I decided to have a date night, so he took me to Olive Garden for dinner. We indulged... too much. I didn't feel like eating ever again after that! Something about the service and food at the Olive Garden is special. All the servers have been wonderful and they seem to go above and beyond to keep the customer happy. {They also cook with excessive amounts of butter, so that helps!}
We ended our evening by watching the latest episode of Suits. We don't watch a lot of TV together, so it's fun to have one show we religiously follow. 


Zuppa Toscana with a fresh bread stick. All you can eat!

Saturday morning Jeff popped by for bacon & egg breakfast and then David and I continued with our day. Last week was Monica's birthday so Michelle & I took her out for a late-birthday lunch at Browns Social House in Panorama. Again, we overindulged in poutine, tacos, beef, cupcakes, and a couple beers for the birthday girl. It was a really nice visit, and while we were missing Janine, the three of us hadn't seen each other in a while so it was nice to catch up!


Dream Team missing Janine. The three of us are called "Short Hair Don't Care" as we all have eerily similar haircuts right now.

Cupcakes, homemade birthday card, and a bottle of champagne for the birthday girl!

Saturday night we had David's parents over to watch Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince. Larry & Shelley are going to Universal Orlando in March and Shelley has never seen all the Harry Potter movies. We figured we'd assist them in completing the series before they go so she can get more out of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter experience!

Sunday morning we went to church. I ALMOST had a week where I wasn't involved in the service somehow, volunteering, but then we were asked to do greeting for Rachel & Kyle as they were away. It is a simple, not very time-consuming job and we were happy to do it, but it did prevent me from completely relaxing and enjoying the service to the fullest. 

Speaking of fullest, after church David and I went home and watched some Fuller House. It's cute... charming... nostalgic. It may not be the highest quality television out there, but I'll continue to watch. 




Sunday evening we went over to our friends Brent & Amy's house for wine & cheese. We've had such a wonderful time getting to know them over the past few months and are excited about where this friendship will take us!

What a weekend! So much delicious food & drink. Wonderful friendships. Enjoying our life where we're at right now.
