Final F&B Report (Saturday & Sunday)

Saturday was another hot one, but not quite as bad as the day before.  It once again began with early Jasper snuggles in bed, but Don decided to take them for an early morning walk and romp before it got…Read more

F&B Report for Friday – the Dog Days of summer

Friday began with Jasper's new sunup routine – although he was a little less excitable this morning, so we were able to get a bit more sleep.

It was a scorcher of a day, though!  The pups got a bit…Read more

F&B Report for Thursday

Slowly catching up...

We'd used the heat wave as an excuse to run the air conditioner overnight – hoping it would drown out the early sounds of screaming children, and hopefully keep the dogs asleep a little longer.  Well, it…Read more

F&B Report - Wednesday, continued

Sorry we aren't keeping up to date with this – a combination of being busy, plus the internet being rather intermittent.

While the dogs napped on Wednesday afternoon, we enjoyed half a maple butter tart each (left over from our…Read more

F&B Days 2&3, with Jasper-Boy and Sweet MacIE (okay, you have to work on the accent...)

Hi everyone!

Sorry for missing a day.  We've kind of enjoyed not being able to be on the internet, and totally blanked on yesterday's F&B report.  So today, you get two for the price of one.  Which, technically, means you…Read more

Anniversary 2016 – F&B report #1

Happy Anniversary to us!   

[First off, the only reliable internet access we have here is up at the main lodge, so don't expect to have us respond to comments or otherwise communicate much this week.  We’ll do our best…

Follow-up to The Rant

Wow.  A number of people have been in touch with us since we published The Rant about our awful experience at Sir Sam's Inn last month!

(Just to avoid confusion or cross-contamination, I wish to point out that Sir Sam's…Read more

And finally: The Rant (aka, the tragic end to the once-beautiful love story)

***Edited August 5, 2015 – if you've already read this, just scan to the bottom for a link to the follow-up post.
 
Preamble #1:  Sorry for the delay – it's just really darned difficult to work up a good rant…Read more

F&B The Final

Alas, sigh, ’tis the final Sir Sam’s F&B report — although Alyssa is typing it from the car, as Don drives us to go pick up our new puppy, so there is a consolation prize this year!

Saturday, most…

F&B The Sixth

It was a rainy day...  but we didn't mind a bit!  That's what covered porches are for, after all.  After a morning spent with books and view, Alyssa ACTUALLY MANAGED TO SURPRISE Don with his anniversary present (it's been a…Read more

F&B Report: Fifth of the Fifth – Happy Fifth!

Rather fitting that the fifth F&B report of our fifth anniversastravaganza happens on the day of our fifth anniversary!  Much better omen than "666", don't you think?

So, where were we... ah yes, the disappointment that we couldn't do a…Read more

F&B The Fourth

Hello, everyone!

First of all, let us apologize for yesterday's posting – we didn't realize until this morning just how messed up it got.  The glitches have now been fixed (we hope!), and you can now see all the photos…Read more

F&B The Third

Late Tuesday morning, we headed out to Haliburton to meet our friend Gordo for lunch.  We met Gordo at the inn last year, and hit it off, big-time (he calls himself our BFF – Big Fuzzy Fruitcake).  He's still working…Read more

F&B The Second

After a busy couple of hours sitting on the screened-in porch, it was time for our massage.  We had been a little nervous of whether Cindy and Cheryl would still be there, as we'd seen a lot of new faces…Read more

F&B Report: First of the fifth

Hello everyone!

Well, it's our fifth anniversary week away at the beautiful Sir Sam's Inn, and some of you gluttons for punishment are actually asking for an F&B report, so here's our first instalment.  Looking over our blog, it seems…Read more

Barrielicious F&B report #8: Spice

On the last Saturday of Barrielicious, we opted to go to yet another restaurant-we've-always-wanted-to-try-but-never-got-around-to-it, Spice.  Don had made reservations online but, judging by the look on the maître d's face, the online reservation didn't actually get through to…Read more

Barrielicious F&B report #7: Crazy Fox Bistro

For Friday night's Barrielicious, we opted to try yet another restaurant we've been passing by for several months and saying "we really should try it sometime" – The Crazy Fox Bistro.

Since their Facebook page said they were…Read more

Barrielicious F&B report #6: Rawlicious

As was the plan the previous week, on Wednesday after our yoga class, we decided to extend our virtuousness and do a Barrielicious night at Rawlicious.  Unlike the previous week, we remembered this plan before we walked home... (Yay…Read more

Barrielicious F&B Report #5: Breaking our own rules

Our plan for Barrielicious had been to only go to restaurants we've never been to before.  But...  Tuesday night, Don had a recording client who didn't finish until a little before 10pm, and we didn't feel like cooking, so... that…Read more

Barrielicious F&B report #4: Hudson

Wednesday evening, we'd planned to go to one of the more casual restaurants after our yoga class, but... we are creatures of habit, and didn't remember until we were already most of the way up the hill, and the place…Read more

Much-belated F&B report #3 – The Farmhouse

Sorry for the delay, folks – we've been busy doing the sort of work that we actually get paid for (so we can afford to go to all these Barrielicious restaurants), so fell behind on the F&B report.

Monday, however…Read more

Barrielicious F&B report, day 2

Sorry to be so late in making this report – we ate SO MUCH last night, that we were in no place to talk about food for quite some time.  (But it was worth it!)

Our restaurant choice for Saturday…Read more

Winter F&B Report

Hello, friends!

We've been dealing with kind of a cruddy end to 2014 and beginning of 2015, so have been rather silent recently (other than a super-fun gig earlier this month, which we'll post about soon, once Alyssa gets the…Read more

F&B Addendum: But Wait, There's More!

Totally forgot to post this après-dinner photo Don took:


That's Alyssa in the middle, obviously, surrounded by Deb, Sarah and Aly.

OK, that's really it now.  Honest.  We mean it.

Final F&B Report: We're here all week, try the gnocchi

As predicted, our noses were buried in our books for the first part of the day -- we each finished roughly around the same time, which was very good timing.  Don has since started the Elizabeth Gilbert book himself, and…Read more
