Robot Hockey Finals

Lunch today -> Little Caesars.
Picked up the Deep Dish Pizza combo at Little Caesars.  4 Deep Dish slices and a pop for $6.  I think I should have gotten the large 8 slice version without the pop for $9 (I think it was $9?).

Useless Toy News:
Picked up a blind pack of Walking Dead Chibis from Target.  I wanted to see what they were like.

Happy Birthday Steve!!! (belated)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!
(I forgot to post it on April 8)

Jello Noodles

Lunch today -> Fusion DimSum & Sushi.
Steve, Ed, and I went back to "Fushion DimSum & Sushi"  for lunch today.  We ordered right when we sat down and gave this to the waiter when he brought the tea:
3 Chicken Pad Thai,
3 Shrimp Pad Thai,
2 Sirloin Steak,
2 Short Ribs.
Then we ordered a bunch of different steamed dim sum, and a third order sheet of sushi stuffs as the pad thai arrived.
Plates were flying fast to our table with almost everything at once.  We were eating too slow so the plates filled our whole table.
Lots of Pad Thai.
Big Tempura Shrimp and Good Chicken Feet.
Red Dragon Roll and Spicy Salmon Roll.
I was very impressed with the speed, and the food was good too (except for the Black Bean Pork Ribs.  No flavour and very greasy).  Also the deep fried banana is a must try!

Useless Japan News:
Got a small shipment in the mail from Japan.  I got some limited edition Shrimp and Mayonnaise Doritos, and a Jello Noodle maker tool.
Jello Noodle Maker and Limited Edition Doritos.
I haven't tried the Doritos yet, but I did make a batch of blue jello and made the noodles at Jeff & Linda's tonight.  It came out OK, but I need to use less water.  The Jello was still too soft.

Linda also opened her mystery box birthday present.
Mighty Morphy Cherry Blossom Mug.
It was a heat changing cherry blossom mug.  When it's cold: it's a tree with no leaves.  When there is hot liquid in it, pink cherry blossoms appear.

Dragon's Hoard

Lunch today -> Egg and Bacon Sandwich.
Went home for lunch and made a quick egg and bacon sandwich.  I cooked the egg (with a cover), started the toast, and readied the bacon.  When the egg was done, and split it half and folded it.  Put the bacon on the empty half of the pan.  Toast was done by then.  Buttered and topped with a folded egg.  Added bacon and done.
Egg and Bacon Toasted Sandwich.
It was so good, I made it again for dinner.  Now I need more instant bacon.

Useless Gaming News:
Got my 3 copies of the KickStarted Dragon's Hoard game.  I kept the autographed one, and the other 2 copies are for Brian and Ben.  It's a short game with simple rules.  Need to try it out to see how good it is.
Dragon's Hoard.
A couple complaints.  My instruction book inner pages were cut on an angle.  All the words were there, but you notice it was cut wrong, espcially when the cover and back was cut correctly. 
The box fits all the cards exactly too, so when I sleeve all the cards it won't fit back in.  I wish they had thought of this and made the box bigger.  The good thing is that it is only 100 cards, so it'll fit in a M:tG Commander 100 count box.

Replacement Mousepad

Dinner today -> Bacon Crescent Rolls and Shrimp.
Made some bacon crescent rolls for dinner.  Easy to make since I used ready cooked bacon strips (they had expired in Feb but was still fine for me).
Bacon Crescent Rolls.
While the rolls were baking in the oven, I made some black pepper and oyster sauce shrimps.  I'm eating alot of shrimp as I'm trying to clear out my freezer of the older frozen foods.
Shrimp.

Useless Idol Info:
I got my replacement AKB48 Kashiwagi Yuki 3D mouse pad in the mail today.  The soft plastic (silicon?) in the old one kind of flattened out and separated in the middle.  The eBay seller sells it for only $20, while Comic Book Shoppe has the anime ones for $30+.

Weekend Report: Happy Birthday Ed!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ED!!!
I ate a light dinner on Sunday, incase we are going back to Fusion DimSum & Sushi on Monday :)

Food this weekend ->
I got a mixture of frozen ingredients from T&T's hot pot freezer.  They are mostly different variations of fish/shrimp paste.  The green one looked interesting.
Hot Pot Ingredients.
Threw them in a pot with boiling water, red pepper paste, ramen, ramen powder, and quartered baby bok choi.
It's Boiling in There!
Better pic when I removed the heat.  My favorites were the chikuwa tubes, shrimp wonton (but the wonton wrapper tasted like egg omelette), and the square fish tofu.
Finished.

I also made some pan cooked garlic shrimps.  Added some black pepper and oyster sauce too.  Ate these while watching new Running Man epidsodes.
Mmm... Shrimp.

Useless Project News:
My tube TV in my room finally died.  It would work for 20mins and then go white.  I had to turn it off for 3-4hrs before it works for another 20mins.  But some days it would work until I turned off the TV.
Old TV.
Anyways, it was getting annoying so I picked up a new 32" TV from Superstore on Saturday, because it was a "no tax" event.  The TV was only $197 too.  Never heard of Haier, but the reviews weren't bad.  I'm only using it watch TV too, so I didn't need anything special.
New TV.
