Food this weekend ->
Went to Montreal Saturday to celebrate my uncle's birthday.  We went to Chinatown and feasted.
Started with fish maw soup.  There was lots of fish maw, squid cubes, real crab meat, and shrimp chunks.  This was a high quality soup.

Then we had seafood rolls.  It was OK.  The crispy wrap was abit greasy but alot of seafood filling.  Goes well with mayo.

Useless Gaming News:
Since Gavin was in town, Ben and I met up with him and played Magic and boardgames.  We played Power Grid, but we screwed up the buying power plants rules at the 3rd phase.  Gavin had only played once, and Ben and I had never played.

We also played Robinson Crusoe.  Co-operative game but it felt like a 1 player game.  We just did what Gavin suggested to do.  I didn't see how we could lose.  Might need to try this game again, but as of right now, I'm not a fan.
