This coming weekend (Saturday, August 22nd, and Sunday, August 23rd) is the Niagara Craft Beer Festival. I went to last years that was held at Montebello Park. If you are a craft beer fan (and gourmet food truck fan), this is a can't miss event! How can you beat the opportunity to sample around 100 craft beers?!
Plus, there is a groupon to buy your ticket and some beer tokens until Thursday night at a highly discounted rate!
Last Sunday I got to go hang gliding for the first time with my dad. It was pretty AWESOME!
Much less exhilarating then the sky diving that we did a couple of years ago, but you got to enjoy the ride a lot more. The best part was landing when you feel like you are nose diving towards the ground full speed ahead. I would definitely recommend this for those of you who would like a little thrill. I will definitely be doing it again, but likely somewhere on vacation where you get to jump off a cliff in lieu of being pulled up by a winch. It was very comfortable and your could see all of Toronto.
We went in Pickering at High Perspective.
!!! COOK BOOK RECOMMENDATION !!!
My best friend introduced me to the cookbook 'The Forest Feast' this past winter, and it is absolutely amazing. The author has developed the recipes herself, takes all the photographs, paints the watercolour pictures throughout the cook book, and has done the beautiful hand lettering. It is a beautiful experience from start to finish! I love nothing more than sitting on the couch late at night with a great cookbook and plan what I am going to eat.
Disclosure - it is vegetarian.....but who cares.
Here is a sample of how beautiful and simple the pages are throughout.
I have tried about 15 recipes out of it, and all have been fantastic. Her salads are simply beautiful creations, and are very seasonally inspired. Below are a few pictures of the one I have made that I have actually thought to photograph.
'Green Salad'
'Strawberry Cucumber Salad'
'Black Radish and Citrus Salad'
Pssst.... I will be posting the recipe for the above Chocolate Beer Float with my own little twist on it later this week.
Bon Appetit!
