Great New Restaurant

My husband and I went to a new restaurant last night for Valentine's called Sarpa. The food was great as well as the service and atmosphere. We started with grilled calamari with sweet peas and fried pancetta, then I had pumpkin and veal ravioli with sage, pistachios and truffle oil, my husband had eggplant and zucchini stacked parmesan. It was all so delicious, finally another decent restaurant in York region.

What a Beast!

I finally invested in an industrial sewing machine. I bought a used machine made in Japan. It is a Juki ddl5500. It sews super fast. I am still getting used to the speed.

The sewing machine and table weigh a ton. This baby is staying put.

The first three bags fresh off the presses made with the Juki. It can goe through heavy material without as much as a hiccup. My Kenmore broke needles at least every other day.

I will be delivering my bags to a new store tomorrow in Port Perry called Meta4, a fine art and craft gallery. I will take some pics, if I remember.

Personal Training in My Basement

I bought the family the Kinect for the Xbox 360 for Christmas. I went out and bought the Your Shape Game by Men and Women's Health. It is awesome. This is the personal training program where you can choose from a variety of different sessions. It actually scans you into the picture, as you can see I am taking a picture when I am suppose to be lunging! You enter all your weight and height information and it scans your arm and leg lengths.

This is called the Skinny Jeans Workout. You do a number of reps of different exercises with weights in 20 minute increments. I actually get a better workout with this program then I do when I'm at the gym. There is also sculpting and toning sessions as well as a Men's program.

At the end it lets you know your status, how well you did and calories burned. Sometimes you score low because you get out of rhythm although you are doing it accurately. There is also classes, a yoga/taichi and a kick boxing as well as some gym games to play. So if anyone is looking for something to do and have xbox go get yourself Kinect! I am really impressed with this program, you actually get a decent workout.
