Food this week ->
Went to Montreal on Tuesday with James and Michael. On the way back we stopped by the Montreal bakery and I got a couple cakes including a Nutella Crepe Cake. So good with all the layers and whipped Nutella.

CMC Christmas Party was this week. It's the first one we've had in years. It was held at the Nepean Sailing Club. They dining hall is pretty nice. The roof is actually and upside down wooden boat hull. Very cool idea.

There were alot of door prizes, including 1 prize of an extra day of vacation.
|
Door Prizes. |
Andrew won the vacation prize. If I had won, I wouldn't have picked that. I have too much vacation already.
I did win a Godiva Chocolate basket. I thought it was a good prize at first, but when I opened it later the basket only has 8 pieces of chocolate, 1 pack of hot chocolate, and 2 bags of chocolate covered mini-pretzels. It also came with a giant brown flower pot. I told the organizer not to get this basket again (which I think came from Costco).

Bad Godiva Chocolate Basket. |
There was lots of food at the Christmas party made by the club chef. The bacon wrapped scallops were amazing! We had so much food, people were encouraged to take home doggy bags.
|
Lots of Good Food. |
Even with the doggy bags, I still packed 16 boxes of food to take back to work for the next day!
|
And Lots of Leftovers. |

And More Leftovers. |
Tired out the new Big Mac this week because they are $3 for a limited time! The new Big Mac has more sauce, meaning it has sauce on the upper and lower halves. Before it was just on one of the halves (don't remember which half). The probably with this is that when you bite the Big Mac, the middle bun and burger now slides out easily. It made a mess. BUT the burger upgrade and bun change is good.
|
New Big Mac. Too Much Sauce. |
Went to Rideau Restaurant with the guys from work. We ordered 8 dishes. The General Tao Chicken dish was changed back. The sauce was changed and it was very bad. It's been fixed since the fall.

I think the Schezwan Beef was mostly fixed too. The beef slices are now bigger and sauce was change back too. The sauce is still not as spicy or "tangy" as before, but much better than the summer.

Went to Farmboy Saturday morning. I got some bacon and sausages from the Breakfast Bar. Went home and made eggs and toast to go with it.
|
Saturday Breakfast. |
I got some PC brand sausage rolls from Loblaws on Saturday. I cooked a box in the oven. They tasted bad! The sausage had a weird taste.
|
Very Bad PC Brand Chicken Sausage Roll. |
I noticed afterwards that I bought a
Chicken sausage roll box. Never again! Problem is, I bought 2 boxes because it was on sale :( I need to dump the extra box.
Made a roast pork shank on yellow potatoes and carrots. The pork shank was pre-cooked from Costco, so I only needed to roast it for 15 minutes.
|
Roast Pork Shank on Vegetables. |
The pork is really good. It shreds like pulled pork. The sauce/drippings caramelized and were soaked up by the vegetables.
|
Shredded Roast Pork Shank. |
The roast pork shank comes in a 2 pack and Susanna took the other package. I'm definitely getting more of this.
Breakfast "round 2" on Sunday morning. Scramble eggs with leftover bacon, sausage, and some disgusting chicken sausage rolls.

Useless Gaming News:
I had a huge headache on Sunday, but I really wanted to finish Luigi's Mansion 3. I was on floor 15, the last floor. The level was pretty easy but the 2nd last boss battle against Hellen Gravely was tough. I think it would have been really easy to do with 2 players, but in single player and switching between Luigi and Gooluigi makes it hard. I died once.
Then the final boss battle against King Boo was super hard! I died 4 times before I beat him. Before these 2 bosses, I only died once in the whole game.
Overall the game is pretty good. The first 3rd of the game is better than the last two 3rds. Mainly because you get the elevator buttons in a non-linear order. After level 5, the elevator buttons are gained in order. It would have been better to get them in different orders. Multi-player looks good, but I haven't tried it yet.
