The Keg














Saturday night I had the chance to go out to The Keg with Brandon and his mom, aunt & younger brother Ryan. We settled into a comfortable booth, and I immediately began to peruse the menu. There was so much to choose from! Although I had been glancing at the online version of the menu, there were a few things that were different. Brandon's mom let us order an appetizer to start, so Brandon and I shared the calamari - by shared, I mean, I had most of it & Brandon paced himself (because he's smarter than me). The waitress also brought by some fresh baked bread. Who can say no to that!? I for sure didn't. Drinks were served to those who ordered - I started off with a mojito. It was light and refreshing, and it had a nice tangy, minty taste. Soon, we were ordering our entrees. I ordered the mustard salmon with asparagus & a twice baked potato. If you guys haven't tried a twice baked potato, DO IT NOW. They are sinfully delicious (as was my kiwi-tini I ordered during my meal). Being the kind person that I am, I snapped pictures of Ryan & Brandon eating, and then caught Toni & Bonnie with their lobster tails. I also tried to give Brandon bunny ears in one picture, but they were more like little nubs coming out of his head. Didn't work out. However, I did attempt to jab him with my fork!

After picture time, we talked a bit and glanced over the dessert menu. At this point I was more than sufficiently full (having eaten a Lindt white chocolate bunny & a handful (or seven) of macaroons before we left), but I opted for the cherry cheese cake. Brandon's mom had fun cracking the top of her creme brulee, and Brandon ordered a giant brownie sundae - smothered with whipped cream, ice cream & chocolate sauce - with a cherry on top, of course! I managed to eat half of my cheesecake before I decided I couldn't eat any longer. It was a good thing my dress was baggy, because on the way home I was pushin' my belly out and fell asleep on Brandon's shoulder. Classy, I'd say!

I wore a dress by CostaBlanca, gifted Guess bracelet & a pair of Spring Shoes embellished flats (kind of pictured).

Tomorrow I will post my Easter festivities! I'm catchin' up!

Happy Birthday to Sarah!











1. Birthday napkins on the table! 2. Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing, sprinkles & paired with Coldstone Creamery's Birthday Cake Remix ice cream... Can you say DELICIOUS!? 3. The birthday girl & her treats! 4. My helping. Thanks, mama! 5. SURPRISE! I'm practically rich now, thanks to the money my mom snuck into these cupcakes. What a coincidence too - Sarah got the cupcake with the most money in it (a whopping dollar). The birthday girl was on a roll! 6. The birthday card I made for Sarah. I was feeling artsy last night, apparently. 7. Sarah was erupting with giggles tonight as she read my card. I must say, I am pretty witty sometimes! 8. Picture with the birthday card take one. It looks like she's giving the finger to all my readers. TSK TSK! In all seriousness though, she was doing a peace sign. I just wasn't ready/aiming properly and caught the wrong finger. Oopsies! 9. Picture with the birthday card take two. I finally got it this time! I'm not sure if you guys can see it or not, but I drew a little picture on the back of the card & the caption says, "Me ruv ru rong tyme." Me so funny. 10. Sarah & her favourites (minus me, since I was taking the picture... Ha!), Damon (right) and Rachel (left).

All in all, it was a pretty darn good night! I'm stuffed, I'm warm & cozy... I'm going to fall asleep. Have a good night everyone!
