Sazerac Lounge Media Dinner

A couple weeks ago I was invited to Sazerac ok King to sample their menu and have a few drinks. I love these kind of events. We all sat down and tried the best from the menu paired with drinks to complement the selections.  I sat with Brock, Pay, Dan, and Notable.ca. Andrew posted about all the things we ate on his blog dobbernationloves.com.  Photos by Ryan Emberley via his site C Daily.  Thanks Sharyn & team for the invite!  Sazerac is located at 782 King Street West.

T-List Night Out @ Echo Beach

Good morning, good morning! Had a great weekend with the fams and all my besties. Cooked food for the week last night. Started a new book. Cleaned the house. Had a great sleep and woke up early. I’ll share the pro photos from the meet & greet with The Sheepdogs when I get them. Mum read us their Rolling Stone article as we were getting ready to head to the show. Hung out with the band at Cadillac Lounge after too. It was a heap of fun. Here’s some tweets from our crew. Big thank you to Praxis PR & Canadian Club for showing us a great time.

Pass the Courvoisier: BBQ Chicken & Cognac Cursed Peaches

The other day we had a BBQ inspired by Courvoisier as part of a their current Courvoisier Challenge contest. I must give credit where due because I was in charge of the cognac and Barbie did all the cooking. I’m no chef! It turned out REALLY tasty so I asked her to share the recipes. I took the peach photos. If you are a budding chef, go get a bottle and cook something!

Generously pour marinade over the chicken; let sit for several hours, the longer the better. BBQ the drunken chicken:Brush grill with oil and put chicken pieces on the grill. Turn frequently and bbq till fully cooked. Enjoy tender chicken with whatever side your heart my desire – I recommend a spicy fried rice to offset the sweetness in the chicken.  Cognac Cursed Peaches Buy a variety of peaches to make it interesting. Cut peaches in half and remove pits. In a bowl mix together 3 parts Courvoisier to 1 part honey. Add ground cinnamon to taste. Place peach halves in large Ziploc bag(s). Pour cognac marinade into the bag. Let the peaches soak up this marinade for a few hours, at least one hour before cook time. Brush the grill with oil. BBQ peaches on the grill, 5-7 minutes on each side or until you can easily press a fork into the flesh. Leftover marinade can be drank, as it’s delicious, or…
