sunday supper.

sunday evening, my friends and i went for a beautiful supper at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the bosphorus river. we ordered an assortment of mezes (appetizers). we decided to skip the main course, ordering instead a lavish fruit platter and a chocolate soufflé to share.

perfection.

fude.

last night, last night, my dear friends and i decided to try out a new restaurant - fude. we shared a delectable bunch of appetizers - bruschetta, chili chocolate chicken skewers, toadstool puffs, and a mediterranean dip. mmmm.

one of the most humorous parts of the evening was when my friends convinced me to try the chili chocolate chicken, "oh it's not spicy at all janis!". the first bite was good...and then my eyes started watering and my mouth started burning. sigh. i further cemented my reputation as the biggest spice wimp. oh well... 

 oh i love the feet of my dancing friends!

here's a little random video sarah took of our conversation {the topic being la vie en rose}...

the most lovely spot.

well, my little vancouver trip has come to an end.
but i will be re-living it these next few days
as i share pictures + stories from my glorious little holiday.

first up,
the most lovely spot.
the award goes to finch's.

it's a tiny little breakfast + lunch spot, tucked away in almost obscurity.

the walls are peeling, the floors are old hardwood,
twinkle lights are intertwined with pine garland,
little carnations in tiny glass vases are placed on each table,
and big fat delicous baguettes are brought out on waxed brown paper.

i could not stop gushing about the place in between bites of my delightful baguette.
and i think thanked danielle about ten times for taking me.
{she had been there with her family a few weeks before}so if you ever find yourself in vancouver,
you must must go.

can't wait to catch up on everyone's blogs!
it's so nice coming home to a weekend...
between work + two christmas parties + unpacking + christmas shopping,
it's sure going to be a full one!
