Dinner at The Governor’s House

School is going great. Exams are still going on for me. This week was very progressing for me. I got many class assignments completed.

Last night, I was invited by Lieutenant Governor- Honourable Barbara Hagerman to have dinner at her house. The house was beautiful. It is similar to the Governor General’s house in The Bahamas. There are many antiques in it. The floor of the Governor’s house cost about 90,000. The Table we ate at was 175 years old. This was amazing to me and I was honored to have dinner with the Governor, her husband-Nelson Hagerman and other students and faculty members of UPEI. She told me that it was not her house; she was just living there until her term in office ended. She also described her house like The Governor General’s House in the Bahamas that she visited last year. She explained that she love The Bahamas and hope to go back soon. She has a son that works in The Bahamas as well; which I thought was great.

The food was very delicious. Here is the Menu:

Poached Pear & Pecan Salad with Goat Cheese and a Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Butter Poached Salmon Baby Potatoes, Broccoli and Roasted Beets

For desert it was:
Milk Chocolate Crème Brulee with Baileys Whip Cream. The desert was the most delicious part of the meal.

I enjoyed the dinner and I’m grateful for it.
