Ahhhh last night was so much fun celebrating my CTV interview!!! :D :D
I enjoyed my drinks! I had a couple glasses of one of my fav. wines- Wolf Blass Merlot. And then I had a few sips of Eric’s beer.
We went to Baton Rouge because we just love this restaurant. We used to be regulars here back when we lived in Toronto and we had one just a 1 minute walk away from our condo.
I had a roasted vegetable sandwich (sans mayo and goat cheese). The veggies were sautéed in a balsamic vinaigrette. For some reason this sandwich wasn’t as good the last time I had it. It was a bit soggy! Still good, but not perfect…
(Sorry for the poor picture quality…using my point and shoot in very dim lighting!)
I had it with a side of roasted cinnamon apples. I asked for them without butter.
I love baked apples…I think I might have to make some this weekend!
Eric had his ribs and bacon infused mashed potatoes. Oh boy does he love this meal!!!
It was such a great night!
Contest Winners:
1. US Aurorea Yoga Mat Giveaway:
Congrats to mmclaughlin!
"You could put the extra couch in another room if you’ve got space for it – like a guest room or office – more seats/beds always come in handy! Or selling/giving it away on Craig’s list or to friends would be good too. We acquired our dining room table/chairs when friends of ours wanted to “upgrade”. As for the yoga mat – I’d have to go with the Violet I think. I like the Ocean and Seamist, and while I’ve had blue and green yoga mats before, I’ve never had a violet one!

2. Canadian Oral-B Triumph Giveaway
Congrats to Marian!
"My first dentist visit involved me being carried in kicking and screaming. Not good. But now I go regularly for cleanings and have actually been flossing daily for the past 2 weeks! It’s *almost* routine. "
3. Canadian Daily Spark Glo Pack Winner:
Congrats to pambws!
EMPOWER sounds…well, empowering. Dark chocolate & coffee! I’m not much of a chocoholic, but dark chocolate…that’s a real treat. Combined with a cup of really good coffee…that is decadence.

I wish I could give everyone a prize!!
Do you ever feel like you will never win a contest when you enter?
Sometimes I wonder if giveaways are a good thing on the blog. I mean yes it is awesome for the people who win, but it is also very disappointing for all of those who get their hopes up and don’t win. What do you guys think? Do you like contests or could you do without them??

Needless to say after the past few days, I have a LOT of baking to catch up on! My goal is to bake at minimum 400 Glo Bars this weekend, if not more! Eric is going to be painting all weekend again. The excitement will be over…that is until the interview airs on Sunday night!
I’m off to have a green monster, workout, and then begin my long day of baking!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far :)
Congrats on the interview!! What a feeling it must be to have it over and done with successfully :-)
I wish I had an event I could celebrate with Wolf Blass merlot (my fave wine ever) and a sandwich as pretty as that one…
I don’t mind contests. True I don’t usually win, but that’s half the fun of contests, you never know if you’re gonna win. I mean if everyone won something, we’d all be expecting free stuff all the time wouldn’t we?
I definitely feel like I’ll never win! haha! but i don’t think that’s a reason not to have them :) my sister won one where brownies were the prize and had the blogger send them to me instead since I was about to start exams :) gotta love that!!
I think contests are great, I’d rather have someone win than no one, even if its not me!
I’m doing a giveaway for a bride t shirt on my blog right now actually :)

400 Glo Bars!! Wow! That’s a lot! You can do it!!
It’s sort of disappointing not to win but it’s kind of exciting just to know that there is a possibility you could win. :)
Congrats! Glad you got to celebrate :-)
And good luck on all that baking!
oh and my new thing is hating when companies ask me to sponsor a contest, and then i see 15 others bloggers hosting the same contest on the same day. but thats a from-a-blogger perspective. i’ve begun to ask who else is hosting the contest and when.
I would hate that too. I see a lot of the same contests over and over again. But if it was something I really wanted maybe that’s more chances to win it.
Congrats! Sorry your sandwich was soggy :(
I already commented on this post, but I had to tell you– I took my dog out today for a hike in the snow and cold, and I totally thought about project snow the whole time! :-)
Congrats again on your interview! You totally deserve it. You seem like such a great person and I am constantly inspired by the way you live your life.
Those ribs have my mouth watering!!
I always wonder how honest servers are about the ability to get somethings with no butter. When I worked in restaurants, much of our sides were pre-made or came from a large batch. Eric’s meal reminds me of my own carnivore. He would love bacon infused mashed potatoes!!
Glad you were able to kick back and relax after such a hectic but exciting day! Looking forward to seeing it on TV! :)
I like contests but don’t ever expect to win. I’ve only won one contest at a race for a door prize and was shocked. I never win but think it’s great for those who do. If I were to ever win I think I’d scream out loud.
Congrats on the interview. I like the contests but I never win. I always enter though.
The only thing that bugs me about contests is the fact that the comments section gets flooded, so I don’t even bother to check for legitimate comments. I love Tina’s blog, but I haven’t checked out her comments since she started doing a daily giveaway that requires you to make a comment to enter. I don’t want to weed through 500 “entry” comments just to read what people have to say about her daily post!
Congrats on the interview. That is Very Exciting!
You look GLOWING in that picture!
I think contests are fun and I went for a long time without winning but eventually my number came up on a couple of them :)
