Pre St Patty's Day Pub Crawl

Pre Saint Patrick's Day Party this Saturday was a blast.....

I ran my annual Pre-St. Patty's Day Event Saturday Evening and it was pretty awesome. We had lowe numbers than usual but it made it more intimate. Everyone got jello shooters, a St Pat's tiara or hat, leprechauns gold coins (Chocolate) and VIP access to four venues in downtown Vancouver.

We started off at Blarney Stone in gastown for some Irish fun. They recently renovated and it looks really great inside. Our Emcee, Kyle, ran some activities for our group as well as others in the pub enjoying Green Beer and Traditional irish food.

After lot's of drinks and games we hopped on a bus and headed to Shark Club where we ate, drank and enjoyed the Canucks game and the boxing match on several flatscreens.

The Irish Activities continued and we gave away a bunch of cool prizes.

Our third stop, most were tipsy or beyond and we shook our botties on the dance floor at Au Bar. There were some models there in angels outfits, one of them was Brandi from Canada's Next Top Model. (On the right)

Our last stop was Gossip Night Club where we rolled up and gained VIP access and immediate entry to the club. Everyone had an amazing night and since I have been fighting a cold for about a week I headed home instead of dance the night away.

Overall it was a great time as always and I just wish I wasn't getting sick.

St. Patrick's Day is on Wednesday this week so I may go for my traditional Once a Month Wednesday that I have been neglecting for so long.... mechnial bull riding and 5 cent wings at Roosters... we shall see.

Stuffed Baby Yorkies

I had never had a home-cooked roast beef dinner until last year.

Shocking to many, we just didn't do the big, fancy, roast dinners growing up and our holidays often consisted of Turkey or Hams.

Of course I had roast beef sandwiches and what not but last year my friend invited me to her parent's for dinner, where her mom, who makes roasts weekly, cooked an amazing Roast Beef Dinner with all the fixings! It was amazing!



Now, I understand a roast takes time and effort, in which I have neither, but this is one of my fave roast beef appies to order when I go to St James Well in Port Moody, BC

Stuffed Baby Yorkies
Baby yorkshire puddings stuffed with shaved
beef and topped with horseradish cream,
au jus for dipping $10.00

These are cute little mini-yorkshire puddings filled with roast beef.

I first had them when I went in 2006 with a bunch of co-workers for a social event. The boss bought a selection of appetizer samplers and although it was all enjoyable, those mini-yorkies still haunt me and taunt me into a quick pub night in Port Moody.

Let me also add that I love pub food. Often you find certain pubs that make exceptional items and being the appetizer whore that I am.... I love pubs with friends for martini's and appies.... heaven!

St James Well also offers Traditional Poutine, Crab & Avocado Tostados, along with a variety of other appetizers, salads, entree's and Traditional Irish Food (yes, Bangers & Mash is on the menu)

Yes I am an appetizer whore.... and pub food always tempts me .... if you are in or near Port Moody, BC, I suggest popping by Newport Village and trying these yummy Stuffed Baby Yorkies
