McD's Fish & Chips

Dinner today -> McDonald's Fish & Chips.
Tried out the Fish & Chips from McDonalds for dinner today.

McDonald's Fish & Chips.

It's OK.  Not really worth the $7 for small fries and 2 pieces of fish.  AND they didn't give me any tartar sauce in the takeout bag.  I was still hungry after this.  Good thing I also got 2 McDoubles.

Strike Fighters lost to GDC tonight 10-4.  Our big hitters kept hitting line drives right it to their gloves all night, so we couldn't get any offense going.
I hit 2-for-2 tonight with 2 singles.

Captain's Boil Lunch

Lunch today -> Captain's Boil
Took today off from work.  Ran some errands in the morning and then picked up Julie for a late lunch.  We went to the Captain's Boil.  Neither of us had tried it before, but was very good.  I got the Captain's Combo #1. 

Captain's Combo.

It included 1pound of clams, mussels and shrimp in the Captain's Boil flavouring with mild heat.  This was uber delicious!  It also came with a side of potatoes.  Dipping the potato chunks in the sauce was very good.  Everything is served in plastic bags, so I don't think my mom will like it, eventhough its delicious.

Went to Kanata Ribfest for lunch on Friday.  I got a half rack with 3 sides from Gonzalez Venezuelan BBQ.  I haven't seen them before, so I gave them a try.

Gonzalez Ribber.

They were good.  On the sweet side with a nice spice.  (I forgot to take a pic)
I went back later around 2:15pm when there was no crowd.  I went to Brickyard BBQ to pick up dinner.

I got the Belly Buster: 1/2 rack + 1/2 jerk chicken + 1/2 lb pulled pork + 3 sides.  The jerk chicken was very good.  Ribs were so-so.  Pull pork was better than the ribs this time.

Belly Buster.

I also got a Blooming Onion to share at work.  The onions they use were huge!  Probably about the size of a cantaloupe.  The cooked a fresh blooming onion in 2mins and it was amazing.  It's too big to eat alone and has to be shared.

Blooming Onion.

Made steak for dinner on Sunday night.  Susanna and I bought these AAA grade rib steaks from Loblaws in Bell's Corners.  They were marked down by 50%.  We didn't know why as mine didn't expire for another 4 days.  I also went to Centrum Loblaws and the same steaks were regular price and not marked down.

Was cleaning up the basement Sunday night, and when I opened up my mini-fridge I found 4 bottles of water from Sept 2006.  The bottles had shrunkened with time.  They had expired in Sept 2008 too.  I'm probably not going to drink these.  The plastic for these bottles are super thick compared to the bottles now.

Water from 2006.

Weekend Report -> Mother's Day

Food this weekend ->
Susanna and I went to T&T on Saturday.  I got some tofu curds with mushroom for lunch.  This little package was $10!  The cooked food isn't worth it any more at T&T.  It's too expensive as everything is by the same weight.

Expensive Tofu.

I also picked up a couple lobsters for dinner.  They were on sale this weekend.  I picked out 1 male and 1 female and they were both fiesty.

Feisty Lobsters.

Made a casserole on Sunday morning to share with my parents and grandparents.  Made with ground beef, chili spices, mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and pasta.

Made fresh guacamole for dinner today. 

I mixed 4 mashed avocados, 1/2 diced red onion, 2 diced tomatoes, 1 chopped jalapeno, 1 juiced lime, 1 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of cumin all together in a bowl.  I dipped pita chips into it and ate half for dinner.  I think I'll add garlic next time.

Charcoal Roasted Chicken Chips

Dinner today -> Whopper Wednesday
Whopper Wednesday today and I haven't had a Whopper in a long time.  The best deal was 2 Whopper meals for $10.99, so I got it.

2 Whopper Meals.

Boy was I so full after eating 2 Whoppers, 2 med fries, and 1 Strawberry Fruitopia (saved the other Iced Tea for later).

Snack today -> Charcoal Roasted Chicken Chips
Got a bag of Charcoal Roasted Chicken chips from Walmart.  It's a flavour from Portugal. 

Portugal Inspired Chips.

The initial bite was very good.  It had a smokey grilled roast taste, but then the 2nd taste that over-powered this was a tart lime taste.  I didn't like that part.  Ed says in Portugal that he had the roasted chicken and it is supposed to be served with a wedge of lemon/lime.  That's why its in the chip.  Anyways, not to my liking.
