Food Network Lookout!!!

Happy Winter Bloggers??!?!

Good thing there will be some spicy Mexican food and Tequila to heat things up for us this coming Saturday. Old Man Winter has played his last trick on us. From here on in, nothing but sunshine and patios!

We had special guests at Diane's home this past Friday evening. We kid you not, Food Network Canada lookout!!! Farid and Alex are a dynamic duo. One is a super star Latino foodie and the other is a super star Latino Comedian. We will leave it up to you to decide who is which when you meet up with them at Cinco de Mayo on Saturday. They will be hosting the Tequila Tasting Bar. Diane has never had a cooking lesson in her life and she has a new found appreciation for a man in the kitchen with an apron;)

The kitchen was a magnet for all our guests. Friends and family were anxious for the end results from all the fabulous aromas wafting throughout the home. The dynamic duo entertained us with their great humor and skills in the kitchen. We had so much fun preparing authentic Latin influenced dishes and learning all about essential spices and techniques to WOW you all this Saturday. Checkout some action photos. Too bad we don't have a videographer:)

We are counting the days and hours til our guest of honor arrives. Yes folks, Eleanor arrives Thursday afternoon and we cannot wait to show her our true Western hospitality and Calgary Spirit. We would like all of you to show Eleanor a warm welcome this Saturday at the Cinco de Mayo Celebration! You will be sure to recognize her - she is a cross between Diane and Brooke! We look forward to see you all on Saturday.

Sunshine and Puppy Dogs,

Geneskirt Divas Fundraiser #1 - Easter Bake Sale at Heninger Toyota

We've officially and successfully finished our first fundraiser in nothing short of the highest style (as if you'd expect less from us!!). Heninger Toyota generously hosted us gals and our selection of delectable sweets. The staff and management were our first customers and purchased a good lot of what we were offering - I'm sure they were on a sugar high all day! We can't express our thanks enough for their support!

In addition to the fine folks at Heninger, we must also express our sincere gratitude to Sobey's Urban Fresh Market on Fairmount Drive SE Calgary for their donation of packaging for our cupcakes - they were perfect and made for easy transportation for our supporter's later enjoyment!

Last, but certainly not least, we have to give huge props and lots of love to our family and friends for sampling many a recipe and always giving us the thumbs up (we definitely had some mishaps and bloopers but they tasted our fares anyways - and with a smile on their face!).

Thanks so much to everyone again - we're very excited for the next fundraiser, Cinco de Mayo, on May 2nd and look forward to raising some huge dollars for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer! Hope you to see you there!

Love from the Geneskirt Divas

Where is our division title...

Well bloggers,

What can we say???  It was a very disappointing lost tonight with the FLAMES!!! Canucks didn't deserve this win.  Despite the heart breaking lost, here is a photo of Brenden and our lovely Clubber.  Please keep on supporting our FLAMES.  We play the oils the next two games and we MUST WIN!!!

Forever FLAMES die hearts
