Meatball Flavour!

Lunch today -> Pepperoni Pizza.
Grabbed a Hot-n-Ready Pepperoni Pizza from Little Caesar's.  I didn't want to wait for a Canadian to be cooked, but I should have.  It's only a couple dollars difference but you get way more toppings than the few slices of pepperoni on this disappointing pizza.

I saw this pic of a new flavoured gum: Italian Meatball flavour!  I wouldn't mind trying it.  If anyone finds it, let me know.  I'm guessing Sugar Mountain would be my best chance at finding this.

Overflowing Pomelo

Lunch today -> KNH
Went to Kanata Noodle House for lunch.  I got the Chicken and Shrimp Pad Thai.  The plate was huge it was very good.  I had to add alot of hot sauce to make it spicy.  I was satisfied when I hit 1/2 way, but it was too good to stop :)  The only bad point was that the 6 shrimp were really tiny.

Steve and Ed both got the vermicelli with shrimp, beef, and chicken.  Ed added alot spice and was sweating.  He also says it's not as filling as the soup.

FYI: I just discovered you can order KNH takeout online!

Snack tonight -> Pomelo.
I was still full from lunch and didn't feel like cooking dinner.  I just peeled and ate 1/2 a Pomelo.

The pomelo was very juicy and the flesh was overflowing out of the segment skins!

Rogers Channel 267 (Travel and Escape) is free until April 1.  I just watched Bizarre Foods.  It's super interesting and features some good foods..., but tonight they boiled bull's scrotum until it is tender and ate it!!!  This is the sac, not the balls, I'm talking about!  The balls... the cooked and them and put them in sandwiches.
Before that, they showed huge black mussels.  The lady would force them open, and stuff them with cheese and sausage.  Then she would wire them shut and put it on the BBQ.  It looked so good!
Check out this channel and watch this show!

HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY MARK!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!!!
(Mark's birthday was on Feb 03.)

Dinner today -> Steak with Corn and Nappa.
Nappa was on sale this week at Sobey's.  Probably because of Chinese New Year.  Got a huge bundle for less than $1.  Canned Peaches and Cream Corn was also on sale 4 for $5.
Cooked the steak with salt and pepper at 2 minutes a side.  Outside was cooked and the middle was rare.  The little touch of wasabi really adds to the flavour.

Today the Canadian Penny was retired.  These are the details and the rules to rounding.
So everytime it rounds down, I should pay cash and save up to 2 cents.  When it rounds up, I should use debit/credit.

Updated: Weekend Report: Super Bowl

I played some Proline on Sunday.  I picked:
- PIT over WAS,
- MTL over OTT, and
- SF over BAL.
I don't know anything about football, so I went with suggestions from a couple friends and the TSN analyst predictions.  At 8:50pm (when the black out happened), it looks like they were all wrong :(
Update (at 2min warning):
I need the 49ers to win by 4 or more points too.  It looks like the SF is making a comeback and it'll be close, but it looks like it won't be enough!!!

Food this weekend ->
Got a couple pizzas from Little Caesar's.  I got a Canadian and a Supreme Hot n Ready.  The cashier said all the pizzas were $5.99.  That usually the pepperoni price.  Did she make a make a mistake or did Little Caesar's change all their prices for Friday?

Supreme and Canadian Pizza.

Made a small roast beef in the microwave with some sweet peppers, onions, and garlic.  The meat came out really rare, even for me, who likes it bloody.

Roast Beef.

I sliced it up and re-cooked it for a bit longer and it was too much.  It became well-medium and some were medium.

Didn't know what to eat on Sunday night.  I felt like going out and getting KNH or Rideau, but I was too lazy to take a shower and get dressed to head out.  I just threw together some Shanghai bok Choi, instant dry-cooked ramen, and some leftover roast beef for dinner.

I picked up 2 booster boxes, 1 fat pack, and 2 U/B pre-constructed starters of the new Magic set, Gate Crash.  I've only opened the fat pack and 1 booster box so far and got 2 Mind Grinds.  Need 2 more.  I did score 9 different mythic rares, but not Aurelia or the Planeswalkers.

Played 5-player Touch of Evil at Ben's house.  Brian got the expansion that expands the map and includs new heros, villians, and items.  We played co-op again, but I still think it would be way better (and shorter) in vs mode.  Before Gordon and Brian showed up, we played 3-player Road Kill Rally.  Right before we were about to finish the game, we discovered we played it without using one of the rules!

According to a CBC article, a bunch of Best Buy and Future Shop stores are closing, including the big one at the old Montreal Forum!  They want to switch to using mobile Kiosks instead.  I don't know if that is a good idea.  I like to pick up stuff that I want right away instead of waiting for it in the mail.

Salmon Overload

Lunch today -> Seared Salmon Tail, Sashimi, Spicy Salmon.
Went home for lunch today.  I pan seared some salmon tail, finished off the salmon sashimi and spicy salmon.  Still have a whole other salmon fillet to eat tomorrow.  I'm starting to get sick of salmon.

Snack today -> DQ Raspberry Ice-cream Brownie Cake.
Last Saturday was the DQ customer appreciation day.  Almost everything was 50% off.  I would have posted it but I only found out when I saw the sign Saturday morning.  I picked up a Raspberry Brownie Cake.  The lady who was after me in line bought 10 cakes!  I should have bought a box of Ice-cream bars.
This cake is OK.  The chocolate on the outside is not very good.  It's gooey soft and thick.  The insides was good.

Perfectly Clean Teeth

Had my dentist appointment today for check-up and cleaning.  There wasn't much for him to clean, as I've got perfectly clean teeth again ;).  My dentist did find that I had chipped a tiny bit of my molar, and he guess correctly that I shouldn't be chomping down on lobster shells :)

Dinner today -> Salmon Sashimi and Spicy Salmon.
Bought some salmon from Costco today.  To make some spicy salmon I cubed some of the salmon belly and added 2 spoon fulls of mayo and 1 spoon of Sriracha. Sliced some other salmon to eat as sashimi.  Made a little rice to go with it.
