8000 Scovilles Korean Hot Chicken Ramen

Snack today -> Limited Edition Hot Chicken Ramen 2x
Susanna and I got some Limited Edition Korean Hot Chicken Ramen on Sunday from Kowloon Market.  The regular one is 4000 Scovilles (left) and the limited edition one is 8000 Scovilles.

Regular and Limited Edition Hot Chicken Ramen.

I made a pack at lunchtime and tried a couple bites.  I started hiccuping right away!  I had to run and get milk.  This stuff was hot!

I brought the rest into work for some people to try.  I tried it again when the noodles were cold and it wasn't as hot as it was fresh out of the pot.  Still has a punch though.

Dinner today -> Steak.
More steak from Sobey's.  Pan fried it.  Too hot to out and BBQ.  I cooked french beans and microwaved rice to go with it.

Weekend Report -> Very Disappointed with EVOO Greek Kitchen.

Food this weekend ->
Made mussels for lunch on Friday.  They were OK.  Nothing special.  Just steamed in garlic and black bean sauce.

Made steak for dinner on Friday.  The steak was on sale at Sobey's.  Seasoned with only salt and pepper.  I then cooked some green beans in the steak drippings.  Finally added some microwave instant rice.  Very satisfying :)

Went out for a belated Birthday dinner on Saturday with Gen, Julie and Roger.  We went to a place that none of us has been to: EVOO Greek Kitchen.  It looked good on their website and had good reviews.  We ordered a bunch of dishes for the table.  We got the House Spanakopita, Fried Calamari, Avocado and Halloumi salad, Patates Lemonates, and a $80 plank of spit roasted lamb and spit roasted pork.

Dissappointing and Expensive Food.

The meal was not good for the prices we paid.  The spanakopita was OK  Not amazing and not bad.  The fried calamari was very good (not shown in pic).  Cooked just right and very tender.  Best thing we ate.  The avocado and halloumi salad was dripping with olive oil.  It was more greasy than the meat and the oil just pooled on the plates.  It would have been good if they had used less oil.  The lemon potatoes were good, but very strong on the lemon side.  The worst was the plank of meat.  The lamb was mostly fat and bone, not alot of meat.  The roast pork was very over cooked and dry.   I ate alot of the burnt/charred pieces too.  I was expecting a spit roast to be juicy with crispy skin.  None of that was there or even close to being good.  We are 100% sure we are never going back.  
I expected to be full after the meal but we weren't.  So we went to Menchie's and got some good frozen yogurt for dessert.  FYI: if you show your Costco membership card at Menchie's on Merivale, you get 15% off!

Useless Gaming News:
Got the last 5 packs of Mighty Meeples at Comic Book Shoppe.  I had forgotten that these came out a little while ago.  The Might Meeples are printed with DC characters on them.  I think I want to get the set of 30.  I'll need to get more packs.  Not sure how I'll store them yet.

Yakuza Shirt and Lobster Shorts

Lunch today -> Burger Builder.
Julie and I spent the day shopping, but before we did, we started with lunch at Burger Builder.  I got a single patty sandwiched together with grill cheese sandwiches.  I also got the burger "built-to-code" for toppings and added a slice of marble goat cheese.

We went clothes mainly and Julie helped pick clothes out for me.  I got a few shirts including lobster shorts!

New Shirts.

Lobster Shorts!

But my favourite new shirt is this "yakuza" style shirt.  For some reason it just reminds me of what a gangster would wear :)

Useless Transformers News:
Found "Roadburn" at Walmart today.  Also picked up "Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon" for $5.  "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" was also available for $5, but I think that movie was horrid.  Also got a bag of garlic pork rinds.

Birthday Lunch at Rideau

Lunch today -> Rideau Restaurant
Went for my birthday lunch with the work boyz and 1 girlz :)  We went to Rideau Restaurant and ordered 9 dishes for the 8 of us.  The order went in quickly and the food came flying out of the kitchen.  We destroyed all the plates.  To bad Marc and Steve got stuck in a meeting that went long and couldn't make it out.  They missed a good meal.

Took a Pic Before the First 6 Dishes Disappeared.

We had ordered: 2x Schezwan Beef, General Tao Chicken, Lemon Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, spicy long beans, beef chow mein, sizzling black pepper steak, and salt & pepper squid.  We almost didn't finish all the plates but Ed and I gobbled up the last of the long beans and chow mein.

Happy Birthday Fongpay!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FONGPAY!!!

Happy birthday to me :) 
First time in years I didn't take my birthday off from work, but I took Thursday and Friday off instead :)

Microwave Monkey Bread

Snack today -> Microwave Monkey Bread.
Microwaved the frozen monkey bread I got from Ogdensburg Walmart a couple months ago.

It's not bad.  Taste mostly like a cinnamon bun.  It's good for a quick snack, but it's no where near as good as the one I make as it doesn't have any raisins or nuts in it.  It also doesn't come with a plate to flip-out the monkey bread.  Thanks Becky for the plate.
I'll probably buy more of these as they are quick and cheap to have in the freezer.

Useless Softball News:
CMC Strike Fighters won tonight 18-13.  I missed tonight's game.  My upper legs were still sore from the weekend's tournament and we had a full lineup.
For Jeno's notes, I hit 0-for-0 tonight :)

Hot Water Tank Inspection

Left early from work today because I had a hot water tank inspection appointment.  It was already included as part of my rental fee, so I accepted it.  The operator told me the guy could show up anytime between 3-5pm.  He showed up just before 4pm, looked at the tank for less than 30 seconds and said nothing was wrong.  Then he asked why I made the appointment and what was he checking for?  I told him he was supposed to do an inspection!?!?  He then just said everything was fine and he was done.  Man, what a waste of my time!  FYI people:  Don't get the free hot water tank inspection!

Useless Gaming News:
Went to Jeff's place to play JeJu Island with Jeff, Anthony, and Linda.  I re-read all the instructions before heading over, and found that Brian had explained 1 major rule wrong.  When traveling around the island, you can move any direction you want, not just clockwise!  This changes the game tactics.

4-Player JeJu Island.

The first 2 games I couldn't pick up any Diver Tiles (wild card piece) at all.  There would never be any on my turn or when I got the statue.  I finally got some in the 3rd game.
