Web of Spies

Useless Gaming News:
I stepped on a package on the way out the door this morning.  I didn't crush it as I caught myself before I put all my weight down.  No one rang the door bell.  The DHL delivery guy just left it by the door!  Anyways, inside was my copy of Web of Spies!  I ordered it directly from the KickStarter creator.  Took over a month to get here, but it got here.

I got the mini-expansion too.

Happy Birthday Susanna!!!

Haunted Ghost Pepper Chips

Snack today -> Paqui Haunted Ghost Pepper Corn Chips
Peter brought these Paqui corn chips in today from Toronto.  The flavour is called "Haunted Ghost Pepper".  It's the 2nd hottest chip they make, and yes it is hot, but good.  Loblaws is supposed to sell them, but I didn't see any at Centrum today.  I'll need to go check another one.  OR get Loblaws to order them.

Paqui Haunted Ghost Pepper Chips.

The hottest chip is Paqui's Carolina Reaper and is sold by the single chip in a special mini-coffin.  Lots of videos of the Paqui One Chip Challenge.

Dinner today -> Steak and Zucchini.
Made more steak and zucchini for dinner today.

Peter picked up Mansion of Madness (2nd Edition) for me when he was in Toronto this weekend.  He got it for $103.  Way better by any price I found in Ottawa by atleast $20.

Weekend Report -> Black Friday Weekend

Food this weekend ->
Went to Kanata Noodle House for Susanna's birthday lunch.  It was an audible call from going to buffet to KNH.  We started with some BBQ pork rice wraps.  Very good with a spice peanut sauce.

Susanna, my dad, and I all got the Pho #15 medium.  It's the perfect size to eat there and you get a bit of everything.

FYI: KNH2 opens in the building beside Hockey Sushi on the Grand Opening Dec 7!  Close to CMC and my house!

Made steak Sunday night.  Also made zucchini in the drippings.  Added a blob of Kraft Garlic Aioli (from the US).

Useless Shopping News:
Went shopping on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for Black Friday sales.  I couldn't believe I went to Carlingwood mall all 3 days.  Went myself on Friday.  Went back on Saturday with Julie.  Then went again with Ben and Susanna on Sunday.
I picked up some Christmas gifts for people, and some stuff for myself.  I got a new duvet cover.  I like the pattern and it has a metallic purple tint to it.

I also picked up some new 1000 piece puzzles from Calendar Club.  Apparently each store get's different puzzles!  I hit 3 different Calendar Clubs this weekend and only found 3 of these "Wasgij?" puzzles where the box doesn't match the puzzle you make.

Wasgij Puzzles.

#11 is the basic "What happens next?" puzzle,
#15 is "What happens when the little girl grows up and shops in the shop?",
#23 is the best one where "What does the baking judge (and the others) looking ahead see?"

4-Player gaming at Brian's on Friday night.  We played Stop Thief!, Dicey Peaks, and Beeeees!  The new game was Dicey Peaks is a pretty fun push-your-luck dice rolling game where players compete to clime the mountain and find the flag first.  It's a quick starter game.  Good to play now and then, but not going to pick it up.

Cookies for Lunch

Lunch today -> Sea Salted Caramel Cookies.
Went out a lunch time to Toys R Us and Walmart.  I was going to pick up McDonalds on the way out of Walmart, but the line was super long, so I didn't get it.  I was also in the mood for cookies, because I was emailing with Suzanne about Loblaw's gourmet cookies today.  She got some of the oatmeal lemon cranberry cookies and the triple chocolate.  I had to eat what I had at my desk, which were the sea salted caramel cookies.  They were good too.

Dinner today -> Schwartz on Toast.

Stayed at CMC til almost 8pm tonight.  I was hungry so went looking for discount food at Loblaws.  They didn't have anything tonight!!!  Got home even later, so I made something quick.  Made toast and topped it with yellow mustard, garlic aolie, and microwaved Schwartz Montreal smoke meat.

Toys R Us had a BOGO Free on all board games today.  I picked up a bunch of board games and also found the missing Amiibo I was looking for.

TRU Gets.

I can only show these 2 games I got for myself.  Can't show the rest as they are gifts.

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.
