More Pepperoni

Lunch today -> Pizza.
Picked up a Hot n Ready Pepperoni pizza for lunch today.  There was a sign at Little Caesar's saying there were more pepperoni on the pizzas.  It looks to be true.  I would say that each slice had about 1.5x to 2.0x the previous amount of pepperoni.  I think the crust was thicker too (which I prefer).  It was a good upgrade with no change in price.

This Giant Salamander soup bowl looks pretty real.  I'd try it.

Happy Birthday Nathan!!!

Lots of Mushrooms

Lunch today -> Ramen and Short Ribs.
Went home for lunch today.  Made ramen and topped it with some pan fried short ribs.  The last of the short ribs from 2012.  It was good and filling.  Then I took a quick nap before going back to work :)  (I was sore and tired from yesterdays softball practice.)

Lunch Ramen.

Dinner today -> Lots of Mushrooms.
I got some mushrooms stuffed with crab meat from Farmboy.  I also picked up some 50% off Cremini mushrooms from Loblaws.  I made a can of Cream of Mushroom soup mixed with a can a Cream of Potato soup.  Added sliced cremini mushrooms and the stuffed mushrooms.  Boiled/steamed the whole mix in a pan.  It was good.  It could have used some rice, or even better with fried rice mixed in.

Mushrooms Galore!

Becky got me this bag of popcorn called "Avocado-licious".  It's popcorn topped with avocado oil and pink salt.  I'm saving for when I want to snack on popcorn.  Becky says it's really good, and she got it from the Natural Food Store.

Blueberry Lemon Sorbet

Dinner today -> Chicken Wings and Scallop Potatoes.
Softball practice today.  Alot of fielding practice in a mini-game.  After practice, I only had leftover ribs for dinner, so I went out to Loblaws and got 50% off wings and scallop potatoes.  The wings were too salt :(  I'll get rid of them at work :)

Wings and Scalloped Potatoes.

Dessert today -> Blueberry Lemon Sorbet
I tried this amazing sorbet from FarmBoy last week, and I got more on the weekend.  The blueberry lemon flavour is so good.  I highly recommend this.

More Rib Meat

Lunch today -> Ribs.
Peter and I went to Big Bone BBQ to get take-out ribs for lunch today.  We both got the Monday Mania special each: full rack of ribs, 1 pound of wings, and large fries.  I got my wings fried with fiery honey garlic sauce on the side.  I also upgraded the fries to poutine.  I'll be eating this for a couple days :)

They've changed the price since I've last gone there.  It used to be $25 with tax for this meal.  Now it's $25 plus tax.

Weekend Report -> Fridge Cleanup and Expired Food

Food this weekend ->
I was cleaning out my freezer and I found a pan of frozen short ribs from Costco... but they were from August 2012! 

Short Ribs 2012.

I decided to defrost it and see if it was still editable.  I pan fried a few strips and ate them.

Tastes Fine.

They tasted pretty good.  Only a small taste of freezer burn, but otherwise they were good.  I didn't get sick later that day either.
I ended up eating the whole pack throughout the weekend.  I ate some with some old mini-Eggos I had in the freezer too.  These expired in March 2017 and had a stronger freezer burn taste than the meat.

Short Ribs, Waffles, and Fruit Cups.

I had fruit cups for dessert.  They had expired in February 2017 and they totally tasted fine.

I also made pasta on the weekend to use up the leftover bolognese sauce.  I added expired sour cream from Feb 2017.  I tasted it before and it tasted like sour cream.  Maybe more sour?  I also added some old orange, red, and yellow peppers.  They were starting to wrinkle and get limp.  Finally I added brown mushrooms.  Nothing wrong with the mushrooms.  They were fresh. 

Pasta.

The pasta tasted abit too sour when it was hot.  After it cooled, the dish tasted perfect.  Didn't get sick after eating this too.

Was at Loblaws Friday afterwork.  I found the new McDonald's sauces for sale.  They were on this week too.  They had Big Mac sauce, McChicken sauce, and Filet-O-Fish sauce.  Most of the Big Mac ones were gone.  Only 2 Filet-O-Fish sauces were left.  Lots of the McChicken sauce on the shelf.  I only bought the Big Mac and Filet-O-Fish sauce.
