March 13, 2011 - The Last Few Days

I am a bit ashamed of myself for being lazy and not taking photos of the fantastic food we have eaten over the last few days.

Friday - Lee and I sneaked in a Boston Pizza visit, I had a salad that was fairly awful, and Lee had a pizza that was fairly average. When we got to the chalet we had a couple of wines and some chippies, and opened a bag of Reeses Pieces.

Saturday - Grapefruit for breakfast. Lunch was at Beaver Valley members club, Krista packed an awesome picnic and I made three meat sandwiches on rye with mustard. And a beer.


We head into Collingwood and Krista took me to an amazing cheese shop where I stumbled on Bacon Jam, and it was AMAZING. But for $17 a jar, I had to leave the store without it.
We headed back to the chalet and cracked into some pepper salami, sweet onion cheddar and smoked salmon, I baked up the mushroom dip and we cracked into the beer. Then the bubbly, then the red wine.
I cooked a French onion soup which was not as good as last time I made it, it was lacking in depth. And to make it worse the Gruyere cheese was young and lacked its strong smell and taste so I was disappointed.
Jad cooked up some garlic prawns which were delicious, then Krista and I cracked on and made an awesome chicken risotto with pancetta and basil. We finished off the fun with some more Reeses Pieces. Yummo.

Today - Jad made us an amazing omelet today, it was exactly what the hangover needed. Krista bought some smoked maple cheddar (stunning cheese) and summer sausage.
On Lee's and my drive back home, we passed a dodgy little take away store that sold footlong hotdogs. Delicious!

Tonight we are going to get some pho and maybe some Vietnamese spring rolls. Tomorrow the diet kicks in cos I am extremely round and dairied out. It's all lean meat and raw veg for the next... well, I think for the rest of the year! Hahaha! What a great weekend, it was nice to get away and eat some great food.
