The wonders of Soy Milk

I went to Montreal this weekend to visit some friends from Madrid who study at Concordia. The friends that made the right choice and did not venture back to America. (What was I thinking?) The highlight of the trip was Saturday morning's brunch and a party our friend Svetla kind of threw in our honor (that's what she told everyone). So we had brunch at this wonderful little restaurant called Chez Cora. They had the most interesting breakfast foods. I chose something called Bobby's Button Breakfast, or somthing like that made with a Theo style omlette. It gets even more intersting. My omlette was made with egg whites only and it was inside a crepe. Lots of wonderful vegetalbes with chedder cheese hiding inside a crepe. What a great idea. Crepes and eggs. The span of time inbetween Chez Cora and the party was uneventful and brutally cold. I dont think it could have gotten any colder that day. But we went walking around the old port with our friend Victor who lives there and then got icecream after we warmed up. We went to this ice cream shop where you could taste as many flavours as you wanted witout commiting to anything. You could just leave after trying all the flavours and say, "I think i've changed my mind. I can't seem to find a flavor that I like". That's because you've already tasted 25 flavors of ice cream and can't deal with your brainfreeze. So after icecream we go to pick up party materials-namely vodka. White russians sounded really good to me, so I figured that soy milk would be good because i hear mixing milk and vodka is not the best of ideas. It was actually really good. I almost felt like i was doing my body a healthy favor by consuming these delicious cocktails. Imagine that? A healthy cocktail that contains vodka. That's exactly what it was- a vegetarian specialty.

vodka plus kalua plus bailys plus soy milk = wholesome and healthy

I had two drinks and by the time i made it back to the kitchen there was not a drop of alcohol left to be found. It was only one third into the party and all the drinking items had run out. I heard that the canadian party scene involves wine. I did notice quite a few unopend wine bottles and many empy vodka, rum, etc bottles clean as a whistle. You bring crappy stuff that you yourself don't care to drink and down the good stuff. The best part is when the hostess started collecting money to buy alcohol after hours from some guy (i think liquor stores clost at 11). So Bill and I donate $20, i think the hostess put in around $100. I didn't even see a drop of vodka for the rest of the party. But we were dutifully handed an half empty bottle of rum that was "ours". I don't like rum. And there wasn't any Coke. So the party pretty much ended around that time. My share of vodka was drunk by someone I dont even know and everyone else could only chip is $2-$4. What's that?

My first party with Canadians=cheap wine and cheap guests and vodka hoggers
