Drinks and ‘Skating’
Three cheers for a day off! It’s Family Day and I’m relaxing on the couch with Bagigis after a good workout and a few chores. It’s a nice change from Monday mornings in the office that’s for sure.
This weekend we went out to celebrate my friend Tina’s birthday which was this week. Last weekend I made her a panettone for her birthday (I’m trying to hone my panettone making skills) which turned out pretty good, though I think I would have liked it a bit sweeter.
This weekend we went out to celebrate.
The plan was to go ice skating at Charles Clark Square downtown Windsor and then head for drinks somewhere. Since we ended up getting at least an inch of snow that afternoon, the rink was closed for cleaning when we got there so we headed straight for the bar instead—The Kilt and Fiddle.
Late in the night when we had our fill of drinking we decided to try skating again. . . only everyone was too cold to bother putting their skates (except one brave soul: Kyle) on so we ended up just sliding around the ice in our shoes.
I really wanted to actually skate . . . but at least I still have a few weeks of cold weather ahead of me to get out on the ice.
Happy Birthday Tina!

You always impress me with your awesome baking skills. The panettone is picture perfect!
Thanks!!
That sounds like SUCH a great day! I think that America needs to have a Family Day too!!
Unfortunately no one in my family actually had family day off so it was more like Sam day. Either way it was nice to have a holiday.
That panettone looks beyond legit!!!!! Way to go!!!!!
Thanks! It’s all about the panettone paper I think. People see it and are totally wowed.
Thanks Sam!! The panettone was not only a delightful surprise, but also very tasty!
What a wonderful way to celebrate another year older than with fabulous friends, great food, and some shoe skating!
