Aroma Mediterranean Resto Bar

Aromas was delicious, good atmosphere, tasty food and good company. We got the Baked Spiced Goat Cheese. It was Goats Cheese Rolled In Spiced Nuts With An Apple Rosemary Compote, Wonton Chips, Flatbread And A Black Berry Paint. 

We were recommended a red Sterling wine and it was great. Aimee had the Northern Saskatchewan Pickerel and Sarah had the Streak and Mushroom Not Pot Pie. Both were delicious! Would go back to try the fire-over-pizzas those also looked good. Not very many dessert options, so we made our own :)

Pottery- Becoming a Part of the Guild!

If you hate Mondays you should take a pottery class! It will make you excited fore Monday night and its a great start to your week. Aimee and I took a class through the Saskatoon Potters Guild. 

Leather Hard- Before Firing!

After Glazing!

 The first thing you will learn to do is center your pottery on the wheel. Sounds easy enough, but it can be quite difficult especially if your a perfectionist! The second thing you will learn to do it throw a cylinder. Once you master cylinders you can learn to make handles to make a mug. After cylindars you learn to make bowls, which have a round bottom. From this you and further master creamers and sugar bowls. If its a flop it turns out to be a spoon rest, great idea!

 

Aimee's Creations :)

Sarah: What are you going to make today?

Aimee: Well I'm going to try for a bowl, but we will see how it turns out..

(Everything doesn't always turn out exactly how you planned it, which is all part of the fun!)

Sailor Dan

Many people recognize this man walking around town. He is know an Sailor Dan for his ship sketches and unmistakable personality. He is so famous that he 12 729 likes on facebook!  "In Saskatoon, he's a novelty, he sticks out like a sore thumb." -StarPhoenix

One of Sailor Dan's Sketches

"His red shoes, green socks and yellow corduroy pants are complemented by a shiny dollar sign belt buckle. A worn-down mermaid tattoo is visible below his rolled up sleeves. His coffee sits on the table to his left -- no cream, two scoops of sugar. Directly in front of him is a clean white bristol board. He takes out one of the six black Sharpie pens hooked to his shirt collar, lifts off his fluorescent orange Mickey Mouse hat, slicks back his silver and black hair and begins to draw, one line at a time."

What a great Saskatoon souvenir, eh?

Sailor Dan: "How are you getting there?"

Sarah: "Im taking a plane."

Sailor Dan: "Ohh.." 

(He was so sad I wasn't sailing across the ocean! Haha)
