A Sweets filled day

Day 4 in New York!

The sun was out again so we decided it would be a perfect day to spend it in Central Park. Of course on every single corner of the park there was an ice cream vendor. 

My First popsicle of the day: Hello Kitty! :O

 Some beautiful bridges everywhere you turn

 Conservatory Waters 

 So many street performers in this area of the park. 

 Last stop in New York for the day, Laduree!!! <3 Such yummy macrons 

 Macrons and Hello Kitty =] two of my favourite things. 

We then returned to Jersey to head back to Top's diner for some more gigantic portions of food.

Jambalaya and Pork chops 

War Horse

*Please excuse my crappy pictures, I used my phone's camera which has no flash.

Tonight my friends and I went to go see War Horse. We went because we got discounted tickects =P Plus we decided we should all be more cultured. It was out first time going to see a live performance (so grown up of us!) So it all was very exciting.

It was at the Princess of Wales Theatre and I believe it is playing there until the 6th of January. I loved the performance, the puppetry of the horse was amazing and it was such a gripping tale. I definitely recommend watching the live performance. When I got home I decided to watch the movie and I just couldn't make it through the whole thing, it was just too lengthy and not as dramatic as the play was.

We went to "Hey Lucy" Cafe
We ordered the Antipasto Platter and Steak Frites 

Food, Food and More Food

Here are some pictures of food over the past month. Yes, it has been a food filled month =P 

Sushi Boat

"Cookie Monster" Cake 

I tired Hero Burger for the first time this month. It was a decent burger, nothing special. It was nice to get to choose your own toppings, but at the same time I found it was a bit pricey. 

Flaming cheese!!! (not yet set on fire though)

Cookie in a cup! it was actually decent. Heres the recipe: Cookie in a Cup

Yummy hot cocoa 

Experimental cookie decorating 

The finished product... :l

Ikea Day & Fall

The other day my friend and I made a spontaneous trip to Ikea! As per usual we enjoyed the food and all the pretty furniture. 

Typical meal at Ikea 

Taking a quick Survey and my moose that I got from the children's section =P 

Fall has officially arrived! Despite all the random weather that's been going on. Seriously just needs to make up its mind! 

Bacon Day

Today was a very unhealthy day... Today was Bacon Day! 

So this all began when one day I was just craving bacon, so my friend and I decided to have a day of it! (It seemed like a good idea at the time) 

At first I don't think my friend was completely onboard with the whole idea once the day came along, she insisted we have veggies... mostly veggies. What kind of bacon day has veggies?! and then we almost forgot to buy the bacon!   

We ended up making veggies, but we cooked it in bacon grease or we wrapped it in bacon... and cheese. Yum! 

 It was a lovely, and filling day of bacon which was ended with s'mores, but we ate the s'mores too quickly so I didn't get a picture.

Burgers & Butter

Today my friend and I went to a yummy burger place that we love to go to on St. Clair West. I think I've talked about it before, but not I have pictures!!!

The Stockyards

My Favourite burger is definitely the butter burger, so yummy!

The Butter Burger: 
bone marrow, blue cheese red wine butter, onion frites, butter lettuce.

Now when I first looked at this I was like, eww blue cheese! but it's actually not that noticeable  there is a slight taste but it's mixed in with the bone marrow. It's so yummy, but you can feel the heart burn afterwards =P

We also tried something new this time, I think it was called Caribbean Corn, it's corn that has been deep fried, rubbed in mayonnaise and then sprinkled with chilli powder and cheese.

Normally I tend to stay away from spicy food, but my friend really wanted to try this so i just gave up, oh and it was spicy!! My mouth had a burning sensation for a bit after :l

This is definitely a place that everyone should get around to trying, they have lot more to offer than just burgers, so check it out if you are ever in the area =]
