Weekend Report -> Easter 2018

Food this weekend ->
Went to Kanata Noodle House on Thursday for lunch with Ed, Steve, and Peter.  We split some wraps and we all got vermicelli.  It was good and filling.  Good way to end the week before the long weekend.

Vermicelli.

Susanna picked up a prime rib roast (with bone in) for me from an amazing Superstore sale.  I cooked it on Saturday using a new method I found online.  It's super simple.  Preheat the oven at 500F.  Dry rub a room temperature roast (room temperature is key).  Then put it in the oven at 12.5 mins per kg.  Do NOT open the oven door after this point.  After the calculated time, just turn off the oven and let it sit in the heat for 2hrs.

Roast Beef.

Mine came out a juicy, perfect medium to medium-rare.   The top was abit charred but still editable.

Sliced Roast Beef.

It was so good on white rice.  I'm going to use the bones to make soup or congee.

On Sunday I made peanut butter and Nutella rice crispy squares.  Simple to make and amazingly good.  Key is a big non-stick pot.

Useless Gaming News:
Gavin and his family were in town this Easter weekend.  I got his boys some dinosaur sets that they have to excavate from blocks of sand.  It made a big mess in the kitchen (as I said they should have done it outside), but got the bones out and build the dinosaur (with some help) in the end.

Ben, Gavin and I played some Red7, Palace of the Mad King Ludwig, and a few games of M:tG.
