Fizz Saver Dispenser

Dinner today -> Leftover Stew.
Re-boil some of my tasty stew and ate it over the leftover rice.  As you can see it was mostly meat left :)
Leftover Stew.

Useless Food News:
I picked up the Fizz Saver Dispenser from Bayshore for $2.  I thought it was neat.  I tried it out with Coke and it dispenses alot of fizz foam.  You have to wait for the foam to disperse to add more Coke.
Fizz Saver Dispenser.
It's kind of useless and way slower than just pouring the bottle myself.  Mine doesn't drip as I've seen in some Youtube reviews.  Mine also doesn't stall and trickle the liquid out.  In the end this is kind of useless, but it was only $2.

Useless Food News Part 2:
I got a bottle of Ranch Dressing Soda from Sugar Mountain last week.  I had to try it and shared it at work.
Ranch Dressing Soda.
It is disgusting!  I only had a couple sips and I couldn't finish the rest in my cup.  June and Becky like it.  Peter wouldn't try it.  I think Katie said it smells like her nail polish.

Useless Stuff:
Picked up some stuff from Centrum Walmart this week.  I finally found PotP Slash.  Lots too at Centrum location.  I also grabbed the newest Sailor Moon DVD set.  In the clearance section I got the Catwoman Catcycle Chase Lego for $10.

Long Weekend Report: Staycation

On staycation since Friday and I haven't done anything but eat, sleep, and watch stuff (mostly Running Man).  Awesome!  1 more staycation day left.

I bought a couple Hot-and-Ready pepperoni pizzas for Friday.  I was able to get them as they came right out of the oven.
Pizza #1.

Defrosted and cooked a Christmas roast on Sunday morning.  Used the 500F method.
Not Freezer Burnt Roast.
Took it over to my parents for dad to slice it up.  I came out a nice medium to medium-rare.
Sliced Up to Chow Down.
Ate it over fresh white rice.
Mmmm.

Took the bones home and boiled then with frozen bones from the last couple of roasts to make a stew.
Stew.
Boil-cooled-reboiled the meat and bones over night.  The meat became really tender and fell off the bones clean.  Also got alot of the gelatin out of the bones.  Made fresh rice to go with the stew.
Too Hot.  Burnt My Tongue.

Sweet Heat Skittles

Useless Food News:
Found some Sweet Heat Skittles at SuperStore last night.  Used to be a USA exclusive, but now it's in Canada.  They are like regular Skittles, but with a small spicy kick right before finishing the candy.
Sweet Heat Skittles.
I don't think they are as good as the Sweet Heat Starburst, but different enough to be good as a continuous chewing snack.  Perfect for movie theatres.

Probe

Dinner today -> Cheese Jalapeno Wontons and Meatballs.
Picked up some discount meatballs from Loblaws after work today.  Then I headed over to Farmboy and got some "Fried Wontons".  Those "wontons" weren't Chinese wontons, but filled with cheese and jalapeno.  They've got a nice kick to them.

Dragon Drool

Lunch today -> Fish Burger and Seafood Chowder.
Took a stay-cation day today.  Picked up Julie in the morning and went shopping at Place d'Orleans.  We stopped for lunch at OCCO Kitchen.  I got the fish burger with seafood chowder.
Fish Burger and Seafood Chowder.
The fish burger lacked flavouring (mainly salt).  It was so-so.  The seafood chowder was amazing.  This bowl was way better than the last one I had because it had alot of big chunks of fish.  It also had alot of mini-scallops and a couple pieces of lobster.
Julie got the blueberry and brie burger with herb fries.  She said her burger was good, but the fries were too salty.  I tried the herb fries and yes they were too salty.  The herb flavour was an after-taste of parsley.

Useless Food News:
Julie got a bottle of Dragon Drool from Sugar Mountain.  It was a strong black licorice soda pop drink.

Surprise Baby Fish

Useless Aquarium News:
So I had gotten 3 "male" Sunburst Wags about a 6 weeks ago.  Well... they were labelled as "males" in the store.  Anyways, a couple days ago I notice something small and orange swimming around with the Neon Tetras. 
Baby Sunburst Wag!
Surprise!  It was 2 baby Sunburst Wags!  1 or 2 of those "male" Wags were actually female.  I'm still not sure which are females.
