Pontegi

Dinner today -> Discount T&T Food.
Picked up some chicken wings, salt & pepper pork, and sausage rolls for dinner.  Because of the rain, there wasn't alot of people at T&T, and today's selection was good.

Searched through some more Name Cokes.  Got Jeff and Anthony each a bottle.  Still can't find mine.

Jeff and Anthony Cokes.

Speaking of Anthony... It's been decided (mainly by me) that Anthony and Ben will eat some tasty pontegi when they are vacationing in South Korea.  I'm sure Jeff agrees with me that they MUST do this, as it's not a real vacation until you sample the local cuisine ~_^  If the HKT48 girls can do it, so can Anthony and Ben.  They say the flavour spreads throughout your whole mourth.

After today's AKB48 Group concert (where no one announce their graduation from the group), Akimoto-sensei (creator of AKB48) did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.  Then Mayu did it too!

But they couldn't top Montreal Canadien's PK Subban Ice Bucket Challenge.  PK! PK! PK!

Starting a New Winning Streak.

Lunch today -> Franks
My second Franks #1 was devoured for lunch today.  So much meat :)  Just writing this at this time at night, makes me feel like eating another one...

Useless Softball News:
Strike Fighters played a late double header tonight against Sportfeasors.  We played from 8-11pm!  Atleast there were no mosquitoes tonight. 
We lost Game #1: 13-8.  It ended closer than we thought, but thier D was playing good and we were hitting right to them.  Our other mistake was sitting both Marc and Jeno in the same inning.  I left a hole in our defence, just like Monday night.
I only hit 1-for-2, with a single.

In Game #2, we won 24-6.  Our offense was hitting all the holes in the field.  We were able to force the relief pitcher to come in.  It was only their homerun hitter we couldn't figure out.
I hit 4-for-4, with 3 singles and a double.

4-Game Winning Streak Broken.

Lunch today -> Franks
Picked up some Franks Sandwiches on Sunday and saved them for lunch this week.  It's been awhile, but so good.  I couldn't fit this sandwich in my mouth so I had to eat it as 4 open-face sandwiches.

Frank's #1.

Useless Softball News:
CMC Strike Fighters played Chipworks tonight.  We lost 19-10.  It broke our 4-game winning streak.  Mark was our starting pitcher, but they got to him early and often, but alot of it was our defense unable to complete the plays.  Gary came in to relieve him in the 4th and he shut them down the rest of the way, but we couldn't recover from their big lead.
I hit 2-for-4, with 2 singles.  Denise got out going to 2nd both times I made it to first :( but I did make a good play at home.
2 more games on Tuesday night.  Marc and Jeno will be in the line-up, and they should upgrade our defense significantly.  If Stefano shows up, he'll add D and offense.

Weekend Report: FarmBoy Salad Bar Card

Didn't do much this weekend but work.  But I wasn't alone, so the time went quicker.  I watched/listened to the AKB48 National Olympic Stadium Concert in the background twice too.

Food this weekend ->
Went to the bank on Friday, so I dropped by Farmboy afterwards.  I got stuff from thier hot and cold buffet.  I took mostly meat: butter chicken, korean spiced beef, pulled pork, meatballs, quinoa chili, garlic butter shrimp, and sliced steak..  Also took abit of garlic pasta, broccoli, mushrooms, and onions.  It ended up being $14!!! But I was given the Farmboy Salad Bar card.  (Buy 10 salads over $5 and get the next one free - up to $8).  I wish the gave this to be before.  I'd be up to salad #6 now.

Farmboy Food.

Got some KNH on Saturday night.  The usual #15XL.  There seemed to be way more meat than I remember.  8 large slices of the rare beef, 4 slices of chicken, 4 slices of cooked beef, 4 meatball halves, some chunks of tendon, and a quail egg.  I got a big bag of bean sprouts too.  I was so stuffed after eating this.  I only added 1/2 the broth this time.  If I had used the whole thing, I would have exploded.

KNH #15XL.

Got some ribs from T&T and ate it with some rice and candied salmon.  I wanted to get the "Mid-Autumn Chinese BBQ Platter", but they didn't have any left on Sunday afternoon.  I did pick up the "Taro with Duck" clay pot, which I'll cook later this week.

Useless KickStarter News:
I backed this boardgame on KickStarter called "Lift Off!"  I hope it makes it.  It seems really fun and is a modular design.  I can imagine the start where everyone is friendly, but by mid/late-game we are messing over everyone's aliens >:) hehe

Kaiten Yakiniku

Dinner today -> Spaghetti
Made more spaghetti with meat sauce tonight (a have a pile of pre-cooked ground beef in the fridge to use up).  This time I topped it with some crispy fried onions bits from Costco.

Ate some fresh Walnut and Date chewy candy wrapped in rice paper.  I got it last week from T&T and it was abit pricy, but SO GOOD!  Way better than the pre-packaged stuff.

Useless Japan News:
A new kaiten sushi restaurant in Japan, but it offers kaiten yakiniku (article about it here).  The meat comes around on conveyer belts and you cook it on the grill at your table.  I totally want to eat there!!!  I'd grill up some choice cuts, and some intestine, liver, and tongue too.  Hey Gavin bring me!

Limited Edition Franken Berry Cereal

Useless Food News:
Got some cereal from Target... Limited Edition Franken Berry cereal!  I've never had it before.  I wonder if it's good?  They also had Limited Edition Count Chocula, but I'm not a fan of chocolate cereal.

Lunch today -> Indian Food.
Ed and I went to an Indian Grocery story near Burger King.  We found out that the store has a mini-takeout buffet.  Selection varies each day and it was $1.69 per 100gms.  No butter chicken today, but I got alot of lamb chunks, mini-meatballs, roasted veggies, roasted chicken and mushrooms, and abit of rice.  It was pretty good, but I really liked the lamb.  I went back after work and got container full of lamb eventhough the buffet was closed :)

Tasty Indian Food.

Washed down the meal with some Organic Iced Black Tea from Farmboy.  It was sweet, lemony, and refreshing.

Dinner today -> Spaghetti.
Went to T&T tonight with Susanna, but we went too early and nothing was on discount.  So I made some spaghetti with meat sauce when I got home.

Useless Transformers News:
Picked up the new animated Batman movie.  It's about the parallel event that lead up to the game Batman: Arkham Asylum.  I like the movie.  It was good, Batman story from the villian's point of view.
I also got the complete Transformers Animated series.  I don't know how the series ended.  I don't remember if they showed the ending on YTV/Teletoon?
