    (T.O.): Gourmet Food & Wine Expo 1

    Pulled pork sandwiches with a signature coleslaw…*sighs* gone are the days… I used to LOVE pork!
    I was so excited when the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo came to Toronto! Unfortunately for me I was so sick this weekend, I didn’t get to spend as much time there as I wanted to *sad face*. The pics below are from the VIP opening night and some of day one and two. Enjoy drooling! ha ha ha
    mmm crepes…
    lamb chops anyone?
    So many ways to make your margarita more exciting!
    Spring rolls wasn’t playing around, there was so much food, this is only a tiny bit of what they were offering!
    I saw so many adults happily skipping along eating these… no joke lol
    There were lots and lots of alcoholic beverages… LOTS.
    ooooh chocolate covered strawberries…
    This stuff? DELICIOUS! I had a few samples, I wanted more but was too shy to go back… lol
    Vice was there too…yummy!
    *drools*
    A slideshow for your viewing pleasure 🙂
    peace and love

    (T.O.) My Macallan Scotch Whisky Tasting Experience…

    “My wife sometimes thinks I get carried away with drinking Whisky. I tell her, Baby… you eat organic, I drink organic”– Marc Laverdiere
    Myself and Marc Laverdiere
    I’ve become a bit of a light-weight when it comes to liquor, so naturally I was a little afraid of attending the Whisky Tasting Experience that was hosted by Macallan Single Malt Scotch Whisky. It was freezing last night so a Whisky Tasting event was just what we all needed to warm us up. Scotch Whisky Amabassador, Marc Laverdiere was there to guide us through the tasting; he made us laugh and taught us about everything that has to do with Whisky. He even shared some great tips on the best way to drink Whisky. 
    There was lots of food! All the cheese and cured meats that you could dream of! I admired them from afar lol 
    mmm I look at Whisky in a whole new light now. The Macallan 18 was my favorite, goes down like silk baby!
    Don’t use ice cubes in your Whisky, instead use ice rocks… Literally. Wash them, put them in the freezer, and when you’re ready to drink your Whisky; pop them in and enjoy. Ice cubes only dilute the wonderful flavours so don’t do it! And please please don’t use ice cubes made from tap water…
    yes… it was a good night 🙂

    Thank you so much to Marc for being such a great host, and to PraxisPR for inviting me out.

    peace and love
