We have been having one heck of a
never ending winter spring here, but this weekend the sun gods decided to come out and play! We had 3 days of 26 degrees celsius (79 F) temperatures and not a cloud in the sky! But now we're back to having a cold, rainy week ahead of us. How do people that
live in rainy climates not go crazy? I miss the sun already....*sigh*, but least my lawn is green...

Unless you've been living under a rock you probably know that the
World Cup 2010 is taking place in South Africa right now and soccer
mania has begun in our household! Unfortunately Husbands beloved
Greek team did
not win their first game against South Korea, but he's convinced they can make a comeback (me, I'm not so sure...but I won't be telling
him that!) Soccer is sacred yo!
This weekend we came out for our communities annual
Greek Festival. Three days of fantastic food, games, dancing, live entertainment, drinking and more food all under a gigantic tent! It's a way for local Greek-Canadians to share their heritage and culture with the rest of the city, it's also known for being a pretty
huge party!

Sunday night we went out for dinner with friends to a Moroccan restaurant called "The Sultan's Tent." It was my first time trying Moroccan cuisine. Exotic indeed!

We ate some seriously authentic middle-eastern food and it actually wasn't too bad. I'm not gonna lie though, I was thrown off by eating with my hand (that's right, you can only eat with your
right hand) no forks, not even both hands. Challenging? Yes. Maybe I should try this at home because you definitely
eat less and more slowly, though wet-wipes are pretty much a necessity! Could this be a new dieting technique for Mama to try?
