Restaurant: Vin Room

Wow, I feel like this month is going to consist mostly of food lol.

Last Tuesday, me and a few friends had dinner at the Vin Room on 4th st. for the first time. Enjoy the food pictures!

When I first walked in the restaurant, it gave me a very cozy vibe because the place almost looked like someones living room & everyone there seemed to be enjoying themselves. The food here was very delicious, and the the wine menu was huge! I don't drink wine much so I randomly just chose one & it was surprisingly not gross. =P

Our waitress was awesome, although I think she was trying to get everyone drunk lol, every time she came to check up on us, she would ask if we would like more wine, even when we said no the first few times & our glasses were full.

My overall experience was amazing, I think this place would be great to take your lover and for people that would want a more intimate dinner experience.

Foodwishes Shrimp & Jalapeno Nachos

I just tried making Chef John's spicy shrimp & jalapeno nachos &&& it was awesome!!! Here is how mine turned out.

Look how pretty these little nachos look! My first few bites were pretty darn spicy lol, my mouth was on fire & my nose was starting to get runny because it was so intense!!! But, I thought the cherry tomatoes balances out the spicyness perfectly &&& strangely, my last four nachos weren't so spicy, they were more sweet lol, I guess I got immuned to the spicyness. =P

Sunday April 28: Evan & National

Happy first day of May! Spring is near...hopefully, it just finished snowing in YYC lol. Anyways, my pregnant cousin just had her baby boy last Saturday & here are the pics of Evan when I first met him.

He was sleeping through out my visit. Haven't really seen him with his eyes opened yet.

This is my favorite picture of him so far.

Grand tour of the baby room?

How cute is this baby bottle? It's so tiny!!!

Evan is such a cutie, I'm gonna spoil him so much!

After the visit, me and Dan decided to see the new National location. It's located on 10th st? Where Whiskey night club use to be. & let me tell you, it's HUGE!!!

Personally, I like the new location better than the one on 17th because it has a ping pong table, foosball tables &&& a huge bowling ally being built & roof top patio.
