Our Anniversary

Enough of this dog! lol will update about her later, now to get your juices flowing! lol...

It was our anniversary on July 11th! Steve took the day off so we can go out and play but we didn't really do much we went out for lunch, went to the US to pick up a package, came home for dinner and saw a movie. We're boring people... lol Steve doesn't like to go out that much, especially to crowded places.

 Went to Aberdeen Centre in Richmond for lunch

I ordered Japanese Katsu and curry from Saboten 

(its a chain restaurant, I saw one in Seoul when we were there last year)

I have to say this made both me and Steve have diarrhea.. but it was delicious LOL

 Steve got a hamburger from Vera's burger

That poutine was monstrous!

Then right after we ate had some fun bathroom times LOL. Afterwards we went to the states to pick up Steve's rotors for his car and decided to have dinner and go see a movie. Steve's mom phoned us like once an hour to see where we were -___-' so annoying and to let us know that she was getting a hair cut (which we were like wtf we don't care lol)

 For dinner we went to a nice fine dining restaurant called Gusto Di Quattro

I've always wanted to go to this place because its been around for a long time

I even had a high school friend who did a work experience there and he said the food was amazing

 I'm only a fan of white wine

I've never had a red wine that I've liked so far
suggestions?

 At least Steve chose a good wine

He drank most of it anyways because he knows I have a low alcohol tolerance

 I'm a huge sucker for fresh bread and good olive oil with balsamic vinegar

I think we had two baskets full of bread that night lol

We shared a pretty big Caesar salad

Apparently this was an appetizer O_O

Any salad that has pancetta in it means its good LOL

 My Entree Fusilli Tartufate

It had shaved beef and wild mushrooms in a truffle cream sauce

T_T best creamy pasta dish I've had

I love wild mushrooms!

 Steve had the daily Steak Entree

I'm not sure what the greens were but the potatoes tasted like a potato salad

But it was still really really good, especially with that wine sauce

Afterwards we went to see a movie nearby, I also wanted to take a walk at the automall area since that's what we did on our first date. I think we saw white house down LOL. We were pretty tired after the movie since we got up pretty early and then we ended up just going home and sleeping T_T we're getting OLD!!!!!!!!!!!

What did you and your significant other do for your anniversary? Suggestions for next year?

Dog, The District and More!

Wow the year has gone by so fast already! Almost half the year gone!

 She's a 1 year old Toy Pomeranian

Steve likes to scare here with the helmet, I have no idea why she gets so scared of it lol

I think I mentioned before that Steve's mom is here and his sister had visited.. So far there hasn't been any major issues besides the dog thing... If the dog is left alone as in we're asleep and Steve's mom is in the bathroom or something she will start barking and its super annoying. I'm a little worried that our tenant will move out because of this dog but I told Steve that if she moves out then the dog has to go too lol.

When his sister was here for some reason his mom decided she wanted to go for a drive to Squamish and I thought it was a stupid idea and a huge waste of time. There was nothing to see, we stopped at Shannon falls and that's it. We drove all the way to Stanley park right after and did nothing there too. I mean if they never lived here before yeah why not go but if you've lived here for more than 10 years then its stupid to take a random drive up to look at nothing.

Recently discovered The District, a restaurant at the bottom of lonsdale. Its quite a small place but has great food plus the location is great especially on nice days out I like to sit outside on the patio.

 The menu

 Our drinks (I got a mojito but its not pictured here)

 My friend ordered cure we have no idea what we got 

because the board of meat/cheese was inside

 I've been "trying" to watch my diet lol

since finding out that I have gallstones I've kind of been watching what I've been eating 

so far so good no stomach pains since the results.

I got the warm pear and candied bacon salad... To be honest it was ok but the bacon tasted kind of weird lol. I wish I got the Belgian Salad tons of people ordered it and it looked gooood T_T maybe next time.

 Oven roasted Chicken and Brie Sandwich

Comes with handcut super crispy fries and the tarragon mayo is SO GOOD I'm hooked!

My friend also ordered meatballs and croquettes but the croquettes were too creamy for me

The meatballs also had too much of a creamy texture too >.< not my style

Speaking of food... I'm subscribed to Foodwishes on Youtube and whenever chef John makes something (especially soup) I want to make it lol plus his recipes are so simple, I'm still contemplating whether or not I should make the chocolate bundt cake.. but no one but me will eat it T_T

The other day I attempted to make the Sopa De Ajo he made which is a garlic/bread soup

 I basically made it the exact way he did it but I didn't have Parsley on hand so I had to omit that ingredient

 Had a little trouble with poaching the egg it fell all the way to the bottom of the pot T_T

but I felt like it was too much for this soup anyways so next time I make it I won't put the egg in

Ok it looks unappealing in this photo but it was so delicious! OMG I can't wait to make this again :D

Opened up one of the red lipsticks I picked up last time I went to the States! By Revlon #740 Certainly Red (Super Lustrous Lipsticks)

 How red! I'm used to wearing a darker shade of red so this was quite refreshing!

Oh my can you see how red my skin is? 

Lol have to start wearing some BB creams/foundation >.<

I think I might just try all of the lipsticks and take photos so you can get an idea of how they all look. I'm looking for the 02 matte lipstick by Revlon but I'm not sure if I want a matte lipstick or not... I do want a nude and these are super affordable as it is so I might as well give a try next time I see them.

I also picked up two more lipsticks recently so you can see which colors they are if you follow me on instagram and other purchases too.

Yep Yep so I was in the states for almost 2 weeks and spent thanksgiving with Ashley. I usually don't really drink when I'm here in Canada because its so expensive, I think I had at least one alcoholic drink every day while I was there, we finished a bottle of wine between three people lol.

The Keg Lunch

Post By Amanda

I love going out and getting fat and poor.... lol. Among my friends The Keg Steakhouse is known for their french onion soup and their spinach salad, not so much for the steak, odd lol.

 Their Lunch Menu
