Easter Weekend Two

Well... we had another amazing weekend: there was a LOT of food, there was drink (okay maybe a lot of that too), and there was dancing - and on more than one occasion. Last night at Jim's Steve and Arvis were cutting it up to The Twist... it was goooood stuff. So anyways, yes, Easter Number Two was a good one. I wasn't expecting such a low-key city - there were rumours that thousands of people were flocking to the coast for the big holiday, but the streets were as empty as the grocery stores were full (last week). I guess most people stayed home with their families all weekend - ooh, except for the club-goers that stocked the place full on Saturday night. Anyways, Friday night we made a HUGE spread of sushi, and almost ate it ALL. It was unbelievably delicious... really - we are getting good. I still really miss the raw stuff though - the sashimi and ooh, of course the tempura. Yum. As usual, going for sushi is at the top of my when-I-get-home to-do (to-eat) list. (Is food all I think about? I have other lists... I swear.)

Saturday we didn't do too much during the day - except hunt for Easter eggs!! I came home after my morning gym workout (in anticipation of the Easter Bunny and Easter eggs) to a kitchen full of chocolate goodness... yum! There were eggs galore, and even a colossal hazelnut Milka bar... danger. After sampling the goods, Steve left for training and Tammy and I had coffee outside and planned the rest of our weekend. Thinking that restaurants would be crazy busy, we made reservations at Baf, a cute place that has Argentinian beef on the menu. (Apparently the beef here is bleh, so the guys were looking forward to some quality meat.) Unfortunately, the place ended up not having any South American meat (not surprising really), so most of us ordered the standard go-to food... PIZZA! The pizza was great and so was the wine. Our waitress was clearly extremely unimpressed with the fact that she had to work - she was super super grumpy, which, I suppose, is also fairly normal. After dinner we came back to our place and had a few drinks before the people dispersed; some went home, some went out and some... stayed home. Tammy and I, along with two of Steve's teammates, went out a'dancing while Steve stayed home with his headache... boo. We had a good time - stayed out too late and slept in on Sunday. It was a gorgeous day here though, and Steve and Jim spent some quality time on the patio drinking beer and listening to classic rock. Jim cooked up a ridiculous amount of wings, and we just hung out outside until it was too dark and too cold to keep Jim up any longer. And that's pretty much the extent of our weekend, except that we're having people over tonight for the Easter dinner that was supposed to happen last night. So, I should probably get started on that... here are some pics - all from the Tam Cam - of our awesome weekend!

The Twist - can ya tell?

Lunch a few days ago with Jennifer - at a Lebanese place... soooo good!

At Jim's - patio time!

Me and Tammy... yay!
