Weekend Report -> Asian Night Market

Food this weekend ->
Friday, I picked up some BBQ pork and fried dungeness crab.  The ate the BBQ pork in some hambuger buns and snacked on the tasty crab legs.  I should have gotten another container of crab.

T&T Food.

Went to the Asian Night Market on Saturday night.  The place was packed, but only packed because the layout was horrible.  All the stalls were in 1 row with very little room to line up for food, and the lines were uber long.  Whoever setup the layout doesn't know how to do it for an event like this.  Plus there were tons of room elsewhere in at Lansdowne.  Also, all the plants got trampled and there were only green bins for cans, but no garbage bins.  So every was just throwing the garbage into the green bins.

Night Market.

I waited in line for 30mins to get 6 lamb sticks ($10).  Wasn't worth the wait.  They were good, but not worth the wait or the price.

I then got a souvlaki platter from a food truck because the line was short and I was hungry.  Only waited 5 mins for the platter.

I wanted to get the Stinky Tofu, but the line was atleast 45mins.

Long Line for Stinky Tofu.

The squid on a stick was the best thing there.  Filling and good, but I remember it being a whole squid and not parts of one last time.

On the way home, Ben and I went to Menchies for frozen yogurt.  I got vanilla, chocolate cake, and pineapple sorbet.  I topped it with all the different popping balls.

Gavin was in town this weekend.  Ben and I dropped by his place to play some games.  We played abunch of games of 3-player Magic.  Ben's Wurmcoil Engine was played almost every game, and we each had control of it at least once through various control abilities.

Magic Gaming.

We also played a game of Libertalia.  It doesn't play that well with just 3 players.  It needs atleast 4-5 for best play.

1 Flag Captured in 1 Hour.

Dinner today -> BBQ Chicken.
Made BBQ chicken again for dinner.  When I was pre-heating and cleaning the grill, a huge spider and a earwig crawled out onto the grill.  I guess they were running for their lives, but I don't think there was anywhere to go.  My BBQ gets hot really fast and I closed the lid on them. 
When I went inside the house for 15 seconds, some of the chicken caught fire and I burnt some of the skins.  All good in the end.

Gaming Thursday at lunch today.  We played 6-player RoboRally.  No one else had played it before, so it was a learning game.  Only 2 players reached the 1st flag in 1hr, when we had to stop.  Everyone liked it and we'll probably play it again, but faster.

Pluto

Pluto's been in the news lately with new close-up photos.  NASA's pluto photo below.

Pluto.

But notice how the Pluto was photo-shopped to look very "Plain Jane".  I found the original Pluto photo on Twitter, and it's more menacing ;) 

Pluto?

Lunch today -> Junk Yard Poutine.
Food Trucks today at Kanata Community Hub.  I got lunch from Big D's.  This time tried the Junk Yard Poutine.  It's topped with beans, bacon, and cheedar cheese on top of the regular curds and gravy.  It was filled to the top and I was stuffed after finishing it.

Strike Fighters lost to DRS tonight 12-7.  We played 6 1/2 innings when the rain poured down soaking us and forcing us to stop.  Second week in a row we get rained on.  Atleast the seagulls seemed to enjoy the wet field.

Seagulls on a Wet Diamond.

It was a weird game where players kept getting hit by the ball.  Jeno got hit in the leg during warmup.  Maureen got hit in the face on a bounce.  Marc got line-drived in his side-butt.  Players on the other team got hit in the face, face again, and chest.  No big injuries, except maybe for Marc's butt.  It's going to leave a mark.
I batted 1-for-2 tonight with a double.

The Asian Night Market is this weekend at Lansdowne Park.  I want to eat a whole squid on a stick or fresh takoyaki.  I may try the stinky tofu.

Discount Food

Dinner today -> Discount Food.
Went to T&T tonight.  When I got there there were alot of people swarming the discount foods.  There was nothing left that I wanted.  Picked up some regular groceries and left.  As I was paying, they announced all the sushi was "Buy 1, Get 1 Free", so I hustled there 1st and got a couple sushi trays.
I went to Bayshore afterwards.  Got there around 8:25pm.  The Mac's Sushi was Buy any 2 for $12, but nothing good left.  Shanghai 360 didn't even start selling off their food yet.  So I went to Manchu Wok.  I got 2 boxes for $5 each.  Super deal!  Got one with noodles, sweet & sour pork, and veggies.  The other was fried rice, noodles, General Tao chicken, and teriyaki beef.  Only ate the 1st box.  Saving the rest for lunch and dinner tomorrow.

I read an article about the new talking Minion toys at McDonalds.  It said the Caveman Minion swears.  I thought it was small news, but then CBC picked it up on their site.  I was intrigued and had to get one before it got pulled or sold out.

I got it (and some McFlurries for my testers), and it kind of does sound like it swears.

Picked up some figs from the new wave of Marvel Legends at Toys R Us.  I got Giant Man, Ant-man, and Wasp.  Didn't see any of the other figures on the shelf, but I only wanted these 3 Avengers first.  The extra parts make Ultron.

I think I should pick up Hawkeye from the previous wave.  Missing him to complete the Avengers team.
