Jocelyn sings with Kokopelli

At the Spring Encore concert we sat next to a lovely lady named Lynda who loves to take photos. It was fortunate we forgot our camera because she got some fabulous photos of Jocelyn. Jocelyn also sang a solo in the last song Tshosholaza and then there was the post-concert singing outside afterwards.

The concert was held at the Sacred Heart Cathedral downtown, and there was an Ethiopian feast onging in the church basement and consequently almost no parking. Kelly is proud of the killer parallel parking job she accomplished even if it was the 2nd try!

Engagement supper


-

Alex and his friend Andrew decided in January to create a wonderful wedding gift for several couples this year...

In the 2 weeks prior to the wedding, they are invited over, but only the groom knows it’s for a special supper. Alex and Andrew spend the day cooking up a feast. The first evening (April 26) it was much too chilly to consider an outdoors event, so we cleared out the guestroom and set it up for a private supper for two. Matt and Caitlin said it was a wonderful evening (look at their smiles!).

The menu: samosas; ginger and celery soup topped with sour cream and a homemade onion and poppyseed cracker (ooh, ah); garden salad greens with oven-roasted tomato wedges; apple and lime sorbet; lemon and pea risotto with cedar plank salmon with a maple balsamic glaze (ooh); fresh strawberries with crème Anglais (oh oh oh!). Divine!

Even those of us “downstairs” enjoyed the amazing offerings... What a duo!
