Take Advantage of Free Tickets Offered by Friends! Lakeside a la Carte!

This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to go to Burlington’s Lakeside a la Carte.  By all means, this is not a THRIFTY event.  AT $110 per person, it’s pretty high on the hog for me.  The thing is I was offered two free tickets through a friend.  I jumped at the opportunity to grab them as I know I would never be able to afford them myself.  I took my sister with me as she loves food and trying new foods.  (Hubby had to work and as he is the pickiest eater ever, he would not have enjoyed it anyways.)  I know this is not a thrifty idea, but I can’t stress enough that if you are offered an opportunity to go to an event for free, JUMP ON IT!!!  I was so glad we did as it was AMAZING!!!

My sister and I pretended we were “foodies” (I always associate that word with hoity toity food professionals; either chefs or fancy bloggers) and enjoyed some amazing treats: lobster rolls, pork belly sliders, prime ribs sliders, venison sheppard's pie, Dr.Pepper ribs, peach and blueberry cobblers, foie grois, to name a few. 

And lots of wine! Correction, my sister had lots of wine, I was DD and I don’t drink much anyways. At a $110 per person all the alcohol was included. 

We had a wonderful afternoon!  It was beautiful weather and we were at a beautiful park right on the beach of Lake Ontario. 

Great times and great company!

Make sure to take advantage of free tickets for any event offered by friends, you just never know how much fun you will have!!!
