CANADA DAY WEEKEND

It was a good and most importantly RESTFUL weekend.

Dan came up friday night and arrived shortly after I got home. We went to the manx for supper and scotch and I thouroughly enjoyed blowing his mind with the Glengarioch '88. Currently one of my favourite scotches along with the Abunad'h, the Bowmore Dawn, Ardbeg: 10, 25, ugleidagh (sp?), lord of the iles, Balvenie 21 Port Wood, and the Blair Atholl 12.

Anyway we then got gelato and went home to wait for liz where we chatted and had an enjoyable evening. Saturday we tried out a new deli (thats A 'new' Deli not New Delhi) for lunch and most of the guys went down town. Liz and I went home and got ready for the BBQ we were having later in the day when folks came back. BBQ was good.

We found a great spot near the supremem court to watch the Fireworks and they were fairly good. Not as good as symphony of fire but fairly good.

Sunday Dan and I hit the works for lunch (http://www.worksburger.hospitalityjobs.hcareers.ca/) then went to the war museum hoping to meet up with TJ and Brooke but found Feiner and Jen Geisbrecth (+bf) instead. After looking at tanks I took dan to pub italia which is ottawa's best place to find over 100 beers many of which are hard to find belgians!

Then off to supper with TJ, Adam, and liz at stone faced dolly's http://bronson.hallbrand.com/ since Sweetgrass (http://www.sweetgrassbistro.ca/) was closed in order to prep a new menu.

Later on that night we played about 20 games of BANG where the higlight of the evenign was watching TJ 'get blowed up good' every time the dynamite was played. Bad luck...

That's all for now... a good weekend had by all I think.

Cheers,

P

  • Sounds like a good time. And a nice listing of scotch...but I'm surprised not to find "Hector's Nector" on the list! ;)
