Tapas Attempt Number Two: Failed

Last time I was in Florida, I posted about my experience at a popular tapas restaurant here in town called Ceviche.  Unfamiliar with the style of restaurant and with no guidance from the waiter, we ended up ordering too much food and having it arrive all at once – not quite a relaxing dinner nor did it encourage dinner conversation as I later learned serving tapas is supposed to do.

This trip, I was keen on going back and giving it a second chance.  After all, the food was absolutely delicious and I felt confident we knew what we were doing. 

We placed our orders and explained to the waiter what plates were our appetisers and which were our mains. Well things didn’t go so smoothly… the rice arrived before our salad then one of our meals came while two of us sat wihtout ours.  Confused by why this happened, we spoke with the waiter but he insisted “This is the way tapas works”.  So tell me, is he right?  Is it everyone for themselves?  Does the eating etiquette number one rule “wait before others are served before you eat your meal” not apply when eating tapas?

We still had a very pleasant evening.  The food was delicious, we laughed a lot and the best part – we rode home in a golf car with ground effects and spinners.

A Guessing Game By Mama H

Good Friday morning!  Well, I've been invited back to blog so thank you to all the people who commented on what I wrote the other day. 

I haven't had too much to write about this week as I've been side-lined with a sore foot, the result (according to the foot guy) of walking too much!

A few years ago, I would've crawled through broken glass to get to the gym for a work-out but due to health reasons, I had stopped going and took up walking instead and I have to say, I much prefer being out wandering the streets of Montreal and discovering all the interesting areas of town!

In future blogs, I'm going to map out routes I've taken over the past couple of years in-case any of you are interested in replicating where I've been.

I'm now going to be away for a week and thought it might be fun for you to guess where I'm off to.

I could drive there but to save time, will be flying.

Where I'll be staying is very safe but they do have "bucaneers".

Hopefully the weather will be sunny and hot the entire time, but I'll have to watch out for the "lightening".

Those are the only clues I've going to give 'cause if I write much more, I'll definitely give my destination away.

So, I'm signing off now but I will certainly try to write alittle something while I'm away.

Bye for now and those of you in Montreal, be careful walking out there 'cause it's as slippery as "spit on a door-knob".

I'm Off To Sunnier Days,

Mama H

Bikini Crazy

You will rarely see me in a bathing suite here in Montreal and definitely not for the next four months but you would think I lived in them by the drawer full I have. I can't help it, Victoria Secret always has such cute ones that any time I go away - any excuse I can find - I will buy one or two.


Here are a few of my favorites from their new line:
