Even as we continue to celebrate one embassy opening, we begin to celebrate a new embassy opening with our friends in Europa. I've had the privilege of working with members from Europa on the ambassador protocol's conference in Q102. It is now also my privilege to introduce the rest of Canada to the wonderful people I've met in Europa.

Welcome to the great region of Canada, esteemed friends from Europa.

Please fill yourselves from any of the find foods we've prepared. Waiters and waitresses will be at your beck and call for whatever you wish, or there are tables set up in a formal dining room.

Sensational Stuffed Mushrooms
Marinated, flame-broiled mushrooms filled with Gorgonzola cheese

Maine Crab
Maine crab cakes with beurre blanc, garnished with lime

Chocolate Hazelnut Tort
Served with chai whipped cream and fresh berries.

Warm Spinach Dip
Zesty dip served with pita triangles.

Euro Baguette
Pesto, Kalamata olives, fresh basil, tomato, cucumber and Brie cheese layered on crusty French bread.

Excellent. The baguette is too tempting, even though I'm in class for the next 3 hours.

Hey hey all ... welcome to the party.

*throws his 500 song CD into the player*

Thanks for bringing the grub TV.

*opens the cases of beer, bacardi, pop, juice and WiLD UP (all flavours, including the newest - THC)*

Welcome new friends. I hope you enjoy the celebration and good relations continue for a long time.

That's a toast if ever there was.

Welcome to Canada, Europa.

*raises glass* Cheers.



Okay - who's going to brave setting off the fountain?

That's how I got electrocuted last time.

But the uncontrollable twitching is hardly noticeable anymore, JG.

However ... the smell is a different story.

We promised JG not to talk about it in public.

*munches on some chips with spinach dip*

So, is anyone from Europa going to show up? If not, can I have their stapler?

in an imitation of someone else. "Put that stapler down Mister." Europa will surely be here today or tomorrow. Europa also said that you should wait.

Thanks Mr. Beckett.

I knew there was an invitation or two I forgot to send!

Sorry I’m late Ladies and Gentlemen. You will have to excuse my attire however; I’m on operations with TEA at the mo.

Hey! I'm kinda on time for this one! :D

Welcome Europa!


I bought a new gown for the occassion:


My second in a week....I'm gonna go broke. Oh well :D

Looking good, Checkers! :yes:

I bought another gown and dyed my hair! :D

Welcome to our new friends from Europa!

*raises glass in cheer*

Wow. Literally and metaphoricaly.

Texas Greetings to the Delgation from Europa!

Congratulations on your new diplomatic relations with the great region of Canada!

We brought some Texas 'Tizers - Bacon Wrapped Jalapeños stuffed with Pepper Jack Cheese! Enjoy!




We also brought a Little Ol' Band From Texas:



Let's Party Canada & Europa!

Cheers and Welcome!
*Sways to the music*

Nice to see you and welcome you, Scipii. No apologies needed about anything. We're a take-em-as-they are kind of place. ;)

Trust me, Chex, it's worth it; I second Carb completely.

LaS, you look like you're just waiting for an offer to dance...

I always love seeing NewTexas post in embassy openings and such ... he always brings such lovely food that makes my mouth water and urges me to get to Texas to be able to eat these food items.

RL & OL Texas are both worlds of their own. I always enjoy going to both places too.

*Brings in the waffles*

Sorry I'm late. Did someone say waffles?

Luckily I happened to bring some syrup.

*places syrup assortment on the table with the waffles*

And suddenly, all the party we needed is right here. ;)
KG, you look as scintillatingly beautiful as ever.


BTW, got any butternut syrup in there?

Would I forget the butternut? Never!

*makes a plate for myself and TV*

Here you go, baby. You might want to eat before the party gets out of control. :lol:

Europa...Welcome. I hope you enjoy being a part of the embassy!

:blush: I guess it's alright then :D


Mmmm waffles :wub:

I can only hope. Thanks for the syrup, KG; I can't wait to taste it. ;)

Waffles!!!!!

*Opens a bottle of Maine made 100% natural Maple Syrup.*

Help yourselves everyone. :drool:

Anyone got any peanut butter? I like peanut butter and syrup on my waffles. :P

I want mine with fresh sliced strawberries, whipped cream and some of JT's syrup! :yes:

:drool:

*saunters in*

Hey everyone!

*wakes up*

Hey ... look ... people!


Everyone Under Rules Only Particpates Anonymously.

This has nothing to do with anything really.

Why thank you right kindly Judith Gap! :clap:

Actually, we forgot to cook that batch last night! :o

Here is a new batch!



*waves a KD*

"Wanna see if you can still Two-Step Cutie!"

Why does this not suprise me?

Upon reflection, those look a tad on the nasty side cooked the day after...

How about Hans & Frans BBQ up some fine Texas Snausages! Dig in 420, we know you have the munchies! :P

*waves back at Big Tex*

I'll try my best; I'm sure I still remember, but this dress might hinder my movement. :)

You know you've thrown a good bash when Hans and Frans show up with their fancy 'staches.

*gleefully digs in*

You know me too well NewTexas.

Parrrrtay apparently knows a bit aboot me too.

Wow. All those sausages. Are there any bread buns about? I really fancy a hot-dog for some reason *drools*.

Hot dog anyone?

What, no steaks?

I wasn't sure how you liked them, so...

Carbanousa, you have definitely been importing some fine Texas Beef! :lol:

That is a mighy fine dress KD! :blink:

Where's the Poutine? This is Canada right?
:clap: Poutine! Poutine! Poutine! :clap:

:Canada:

The mushrooms are fabulous! The crab ... er coming form a landlocked country ... maybe not my favorite.
