Girl Expands Her Horizons By Eating Bleu Cheese and Asparagus; Looks Forward to Skipping School for Montreal

I always try new recipes and make amazing home-cooked meals for friends but when you're living alone, making elaborate meals is never quite as satisfying. Tonight however, I planned myself the most delicious meal and I have to say that it was well worth the extra effort!

The Main Course (alright, there was only one)

Steamed Asparagus with Olive Oil and Crumbled Bleu Cheese

Glazed Basil Gold Potatoes with Green Onion

Braised Steak with Chutney Marinade

It is only a week now until my whirlwind trip to Montreal with my mom. The Canadian Barista Championships will prove to be a great time with friends and the chance to see so many amazing baristas show off their skillz. Calgary will be well represented by my own boss, Phil Robertson, and Joel May of Fratello Coffee. I'll look forward to seeing some amazing talent out of Vancouver as well with Sammy Piccolo in the running and Spencer Viehweger of JJ Bean. Truly, everyone in the lineup has copious talent! As a bonus, it all goes down in Montreal, as "Europe" as we get in Canada. I don't think I can go wrong with this.
