Then we took it to the next level and made a typical Québécois meal - a poutine. Warning! This is not a point friendly meal (well it could be if you used a looooot less cheese... but it wouldn't be very nutritious...)
All you need is some sweet potato fries
Some gravy (my gravy of choice is the St-Hubert brand, of course. It's available for sure in Ontario and in Québec, but I'm not sure about the rest of Canada... probably not available in other countries...)
and some cheese curds - or like they say in Saguenay - some fromage 'skouik skouik'
And voilà! Just like in the Belle Province! :)
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
Not a good way to end a very inactive weekend due to neck injury, but hey, you gotta treat yourself sometimes! :) We used to have poutine all the time when we lived in Québec, and this was our first 'at home poutine' in more than 2 years... so I think it's ok :)
We did go out to a very special event on Friday night though! We went to see Toronto FC play vs Real Madrid!! It was - interesting... Man these Real Madrid guys were so good - so fast! As a soccer player myself - I really admired their tactics and skills... and their speed!
It was so funny how some guys at work requested that I take photos for them!! LOL I am a very lucky girl! It was a very special event, we don't get soccer royalty often over here!!
Here's the final score ;)
I almost felt bad (almost...) for Christiano Ronaldo - every time he had the ball people were boo-ing him... Anyways, it certainly was a spectacular evening - a once in a lifetime opportunity! :)

mmm poutine, that looks so yummy! A worthwhile treat for sure!
Wow, you got to see Ronaldo play in person... that is amazing! I love British football, but we don't get it on regular TV in the States, only on cable.
i love sweet potato fries - and finally my bf likes them too so now i'm sure we will try the poutine. i am partial to the swiss chalet sandwich gravy myself LOL.
