A Weekend Out With The Girls

She shoots she scores...or at least gets an assist!  

On Friday night I was treated to a delicious meal by Chef Taylor while we watched the new Pirates of the Carribean movie.  I thought it was a great bit of swashbuckling fun arr, and who can resist a movie with Johnny Depp in it?!

After the movie - and a brief interlude talking to Donna, Phil, Charlia and the gang - I headed out to UBC for the first hockey game of the season.  I love playing hockey!  One of these days I am going to do a skills and drills session and get better, but in the interim I can still skate (and stop gracefully) even if I do miss the puck.

Hockey Girls!

Grr!  Tara Williams - Hockey Player

The Cross Check Chicks - Check them out!

Saturday Adventures
On Saturday I bought my brand new ski stuff which I hope to try out very soon! Then I had a 4 hour nap - I guess I was tired ;-)  After my nap I joined Kristina, Karen, and Patti for a night out.  We went to the opening night of La Cage Aux Folles at the Vancouver Playhouse.  It was a great performance!  I would say that it is the best play I have seen there yet!  The two leads David Marr who played Georges and Greg Armstrong-Morris who played Albin had incredible chemistry and the music has kept me singing the songs every morning since!  If you are looking for I would definitely recommend seeing it!

Les Cagelles and Zaza

After the performance we headed to Chambar for some drinks and snacks.  Kristina and I have both wanted to go there for a really long time but never had an opportunity to, so this was a wonderful excuse!  We started with some drinks - or at least Kristina and Patti did ;-) The drinks looked amazing!

We Les Tapas
Pork Shoulder and Trotter croquettes, fresh herb mimosa.  Baby purple artichokes, white anchovies & almond rillette.  Buffalo mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes & Olive tapenade.

It was delicious!

We then broke down and ordered desert.  Craftily named Le Camping.  This delectable creation was Graham cracker ice cream, salted chocolate cremeux and toasted meringue.  Take a look

We all agreed that next time we will all need to order our own La Camping...either that or go there and order one for ourselves and one for our friends who conveniently don't show up ;-)

Thanks for a great weekend girls!
