DanAldo's Moved.

Dinner today -> Perogies.
Bought the same kind of Perogies that Mark made and brought to the softball party a few weeks ago.  I got the 3 cheese version.  Pan fried 2/3 of the box in some oil.

Pan Fried 3 Cheese Perogies.

I think I made these before, but I boiled them.  No where near as good when it is boiled.  These must be pan fried.

Got my hair cut at DanAldo's today.  They moved to a new location in the Kanata Town Center last week.  It's now in front near the bus stop.  The new place is pretty nice.  Apparently the gymnastics school is expanding over the part of the mall beside Food Basics.
BTW: the new Mandarin Buffet Building is pretty close to done :)

Scratch Chicken Soup.

Dinner today -> Chicken Soup.
Got a pack of chicken bones from Farm Boy.  6 chicken ribs/backs for about $2.  I boiled them with some onions, carrots, and abit of oyster sauce.  Reduced the liquid to concentrate the flavour and to get the meat to fall off the bones.  Boom, chicken soup from scratch.

Weekend Report -> Birthday Party

All day 40th birthday event for Jeff this weekend! :) 
We met up at Ben's house early afternoon, had some pizza, and then walked to the Canadian Tire Centre to watch Ottawa play Arizona.  We had excellent 200 level center ice seats.  It was pretty good game, but the Sens lost in overtime 3-2.  It was because of a couple bad goals let in by Condon.

Coyotes @ Senators.

Afterwards we went to Zolas Restaurant for dinner.  There was live Jazz and the food was very good.  I got the night's special of Cod and Tiger Shrimp with Vegetables. 
The cod was amazing, but the portion was small.  I would say very small too.  The shrimp were OK and only 3... Good thing there was fresh bread at the table.

Back to Jeff's place for dessert and boardgames.  Ben brought a Limoncello Fruiti Di Bosco cake from Montreal.  Linda got cookies & cupcakes from Nestle Toll House, and a fruit tray.

Birthday Dessert.

For games we played Roll For It, Tsuro, Sushi Go, Guillotine, and finished the night with a few hilarious rounds of Telestrations.

Happy Birthday Jeff!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF!!!

Stranger Things Season 1

Dinner today -> Steak with Rice and Eggplant.
Got some 50% off steak from Loblaws.  Pan cooked it and then cooked some slice Chinese eggplant in the drippings.  I'm really into eating eggplant that past couple weeks.  Not sure why?  Microwaved some mushroom wild rice as another side.

Useless TV News:
Finished watching all of Stranger Things: Season 1 in two nights.  Pretty good show.  The show had a good story and kept me interested.  I did find some scenes were slow because of an extra 3 or 4 seconds of the camera panning or silence between the people on screen.  Not sure why the director did this, but the few extra seconds felt like an eternity.  (After 2 episodes I learned to fast forward through the silence.)  The hysterical mom was also abit annoying because she did so many things stupidly wrong and was screaming all the time.  It felt like the actress over acted her hysteria. 
Definitely will need to watch Season 2.

Oatmeal Cranberry Lemon Cookies

Snack Tuesday -> Oatmeal Cranberry Lemon Cookies.
Got an 8 pack for 50% off at Loblaws.  This oatmeal cranberry lemon cookie is really, really good.  I think I like it more than the triple chocolate cookie, but it's very hard to decide which is better.  I don't think it's worth the regular price of 8 cookies for $6, but worth it for $3.

Dinner Tuesday night -> Monk Fish.
Made some monk fish for dinner on Tuesday.  It's suppose to be the "poor man's lobster".  I don't know who said that, but it totally not like lobster at all.  Maybe I made it wrong, but I just pan fried/steamed it with simple salt and black pepper.

Monk Fish.

Dinner Wednesday night -> Pho #15 XL.
Got some KNH for dinner.  My usual Pho #15 XL.  I didn't eat much all day today, so I destroyed this when I got it home.  Lots of meat!

Fancy Egg Tarts and Shrimp

Lunch today -> Ramen and Peanut Butter Toast.
Went home for lunch today.  Made Korean ramen with a couple mini potatoes and a soft boiled egg.  Didn't think that was enough so I made some toast with peanut butter too.

Lunch.

Susanna and I went to T&T tonight.  They have a Fancy Egg Tart event going on.

Fancy Egg Tarts.

We got a 6 pack egg tarts: black sesame, salted egg yolk, Japanese Chawan Mushi, and Korean Style.  They didn't have any Durian ones left. 

Yummm Egg Tarts.

The black sesame one was good as was the salted egg yolk.  Not very good was the Japanese Chawan Mushi one.  The Korean Style one was savoury like a quiche.

T&T also had this new Crispy Shrimp snack.  It's OK.  It's just dried shrimp but bigger.  Tasty but not worth $5.

Speaking of shrimp, my ghost shrimp like to hang upside down on my feeding ring and wait for me to feed them.  Here is a pick with 4 of them!
