Weekend Report: Oat & Mill Ice Cream

Food this weekend ->
Lunch of Friday was stuffed peppers from Farmboy.  They are pretty good.  I also got a box of fresh mini oatmeal raisin cookies.  I usually don't like raisins in cookies, but these cookies were still warm the raisins were still soft.

Made lamb chops on Saturday.  They were on sale on Basics.

I also steamed some corn from Walmart in my pressure cooker.  The corn was OK.  Not very sweet.

Made a big pot of red congee on Sunday.  I made it the ground pork, shitake mushrooms, preserved duck eggs, green onions, some eggs, and Korean red pepper paste.  Hot congee on a hot day!  I was dripping sweat when I was done eating a couple bowls.

Mark and Jes picked me up a new ice cream made out of oats.  There is no milk in it, but it is very smooth and creamy.  I had the chocolate peanut butter flavour and it is awesome!  I had to force myself to stop, as it is so good.  It's made by a local Ottawa company called Oat & Mill and they sell the ice cream online and at the Carp Farmer's Market.  BUT it's expensive.  Even at $10 a pint, I'm still tempted to order some other flavours.

4-Player gaming Friday night at Brian's.  We started with King Down.  It's a prequel to chess and up to 4 players.  Neat game, but some pieces/cards are broken.  Needs more rules clarification.  We played a bunch of variations of Pairs afterwards.

Found Transformers: Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus on Friday at Walmart.  I had just ordered the Japanese version Thursday night because I wasn't sure if I would have found it in stores.  The Japanese version comes with Alpha Trion too.
