My weekend included dinner parties and busses and dinner on party busses

  So, like I mentioned before, I was having some friends over to say farewell to Adam, Tyson and Tim. Alex and Heather helped me make Sweet Potato and Coconut soup, hummus and Pumpkins and Spinach wontons. Everything turned out delish and I think it's safe to say we all had fun.  Ooooh and we ate those cupcakes, the pumpkin choco-chip ones, for dessert. So here's how the cooking and hanging out went, pretty much in order, for your viewing pleasure:

                                                              Peace and wonton filling

Aww Shucks. You're a doll.

                                                                 The beginning of soup

                                                         Drunk Heather and drunk Dru

Wontons! Didn't think these would turn out...But they did!

 Skip ahead to Saturday. Billy got home from 6 weeks of touring the US and so I met up with him and Alex and we went to Hibiscus in Kensington Market to get vegan ice cream for his friend MJ from Australia who's been on tour with him, working for one of the other bands. We were going to go to dinner with her at Fressen but time was running out so we went to grab a sammich at Urban Herbivore instead.

                                                                               Billy

 

 From there we went to the Sound Academy where Billy's band was headlining that night, and hung out on their tour bus until show time. The weather outside was cold and miserably wet. the bus was warm and cozy. It was a good hangout choice . Lots of fun was to be had including games of C-lo, Snaps- which has taken me 3.5 years to finally understand!!!! -and another Aussie game which Tyson and Alex stumped us all with called Black Magic.

 My camera died right after the last photo, so I couldn't get the rest of the fun that was had lastnight, but Rob Dyer showed up and I got to see my friend Katrina too! The guys played a good show, the venue was packed with kids mostly so it was nice to be able to watch from side stage and not get trampled by little emo's. After the show I came home and Billy and Alex went on to the Horseshoe Tavern to see Attack In Black play. Anyway, that was my weekend. How was yours?
