Maestro SVP

This past Saturday night I was treated to a delicious dinner at one of Montreal's trendy hot spots called Maestro SVP, located on St-Laurent corner Prince Arthur. If you're into seafood, this is a restaurant for you! Famous for their 20 different types of fresh oysters, Maestro offers all types of seafood dishes! Probably the best calamari I've ever had, and their coconut shrimp wasn’t far behind either, delicious! For my main course, I had the Shrimp pasta. It was a linguini pasta in an olive oil lemon sauce, with capers, pieces of jumbo shrimp, and garlic confit tomatoes. I definitely recommend this dish to any shrimp lover, my mouth is watering just thinking about it now!

I will definitely be returning here for future date nights & birthday events, with being centrally located on the "Main", it's the perfect place to go before enjoying a night out on the town!

For information on other delicious dishes, check out their online menu at MaestroSVP.com.

Cheers!

Friday, you look Smashing

It totally feels like spring outside! Walking the dog this morning was great, the drive in, even better, there was hardly any snow! I realize this is a result of global warming, but I’m all for an early spring/ summer, so bring it on mother nature!

Jenna Marble's video was super funny this week, (what else is new)...she's so strange & I love it. Best Cinnamon Challenge I've seen to date! Check it out!

I love the part where she laughs and it blows out like fire, hilarious!

Cheers everyone! Have a great weekend!

Talent

SO 5 things has been postponed till next week, as I've been meaning to share this fantastic talent with you for months. My girlfriend texted me to check out this group because they were crazy good, so I took her word for it and Youtubed it. WOW is all I can say, so awesome! They have a ton of other videos that you should all check out as well!

Tuesday's Tune - February 14th, 2012

Happy Valentine's day fellow readers!

Today's tune is to pay tribute to one of the best female singers of all time, the late Whitney Houstan.

I have to say that the news of Whitney's death completely shocked me, and made me feel sick and uneasy. Hearing about any death makes me feel this way, and it makes me realize how precious life is, and how quickly real it can become, when you hear of a loss. 

I was pretty annoyed with Facebook and Twitter comments stating that "she deserved this", and that we "shouldn't be making a big deal out of her death". The thing is, Whitney Houstan was a big deal, she helped shape our music as we know it today, and touched millions of people's lives with her lyrics. I found it disrespectful and tactless to say such things about her. Addiction much like we saw with Amy Winehouse, is a disease, and unfortunately it always ends up getting the best of us. In my opinion, when someone passes, we shouldn't bash or criticize the choices he or she made, but rather celebrate their lives for who they were. In Whitney's case, she was a music legend. I cannot tell you how many drunken girls nights have ended up with multiple Whitney sing a longs, it truly makes me sad that we've lost such a great talent, especially at such a young age. Rest in Peace Whitney, I thank you for your music, it will live on forever.

Off the album "My Love is Your Love", (released in 1998), here is tuesday's tune. "My Love is Your Love", my favorite song from the late Whitney Houstan.

Cheers to Whitney

Puppy Love

Hope you all had a great weekend! Up north was absolutely fantastic! My weekend is still going on right now, as I took today off :) However, I'll still be technically working this afternoon, as I'll be in full blown production mode for Valentine's day!

Here's cupcakes from last week, they were a hit! Vanilla Butter Cake, with Vanilla Buttercream icing, fondant details and edible images.

Cheers!

C'est Vendredi!

I have never been so excited for it to be Friday! (Ok maybe I have, but still.. soooo stoked!)
I'm heading straight up north from work today, it's going to be greeeat! I've been patiently waiting for this day to come for a while now, the brisk northern air, delicious food, good wine, and great people - nothing better!

I'm excited to share some fun cupcakes with you in a couple of days! I have to wait until the client delivers them before sharing with you all, just in case I ruin any surprises! ;-)
In the meantime, I'll share some I did for a coworker! Awesome colors!

Here's the latest Jenna Marbles! Have a great weekend!

Cheers!
