Ice Cream!

Sometimes you just have to say, "Everyone can EAT IT! I'm having ice cream!"

With banana slices. :)

Work Snacks

The last desk drawer I had at work had a lot of Asian snacks. A lot more compared to my previous work snack stash, at least.

Many of my former coworkers enjoyed the chocolate filled koalas. Those and the shrimp crackers are my favourite. Granola bars were great for when I forgot my lunch and didn't have money to buy lunch.

This little cake treat was given to me by my former coworker who was trying to cut out fatty snacks from  his diet.

The packaging is directed towards kids, but I quite liked it as well. 

The cake part is a bit shiny and you can kind of taste how unhealthy it is. That doesn't mean that it isn't a good pick-me-up sugary snack for work.

Igor also comes in Conga, where the chocolate part isn't a chunk but drizzled across the top.

I think I like the wrapper because the monkey reminds me of Diddy Kong (of Donkey Kong Country).

I prefer Conga over Canoo.

Fiona gave me these Magic Flakes to try. The pretty much taste exactly like Sky Flakes, which I like so it was all good.

Renée was telling me about this case of Crunch Crunch Pear that she bought from Galleria supermarket. The last time we went there we couldn't find it, so she gave me one of hers. 

I brought this to work, and that whole day I couldn't stop saying its name. It's just too cute! The can itself looks like a cute, little, stumpy pop can. 

It's Korean.

This drink is cool. It has a bit of fizz, and bits of pear that taste like pear pulp. It is on the sweet side and has that Asian pear taste. I found it quite novel, but I don't know if I'll be able to find it in stores.

Thanks to all the people who donated to my work snacks!

Hello friends,

Welcome back. It's been a while.

Some OCD arranged koala cookies!

These Japanese chocolate-filled koala cookies are awesome! Just look at the different pictures!
These are great snacks for work or for school. Family pack rocks! (approximately $8)
My other bag had ninjas.
I microwaved pieces of milk chocolate and milk. Then I added instant coffee and topped it off with Bailey's. Yum!
More koala cookies!
Work dinner:
I quite like the pasta.

Another work dinner:
The chicken wasn't as exciting as the last time we were served chicken.

Tim Hortons chocolate danish ($2.51):

Josie wanted to make ratatouille:
Took forever in the oven. It also leaked a lot of water at the bottom. In the end, it was tasty enough though.
Tuna, artichoke, and anchovy pasta salad. Another dish made by Josie and me. Pretty good! I liked it.

McCain's rising crust pizza:
It was on sale at the grocery store for $3 or $5 and it was quite comparable to the Delissio pizzas.

I made pie!
I found the easiest pie crust online and added lots of sugar. I burnt it a bit, but it was still okay for the most part. The crust is not like normal apple pie crust. It's a bit more crunchy, but Sheila liked it.
Out of laziness I did nothing to the apples before I put it in the pie except peel and cut them. And added sugar. Always with the adding of sugar.
Sheila's eyes lit up when she saw the sign for smores pies at McDonald's. The crust isn't the same as their apple pie, and I actually thought it tasted a bit... lardy.
Leftover thanksgiving food from my aunt!
I like how neatly packaged it is.

That was a table made rich with alcohol:
Premium Canadian Club is way smoother than Chivas Regal. Grey Goose is the smoothest vodka that I know. The pear flavoured one is delicious.

Chinese food from the food court under North York Centre. So cheap and plentiful!
There was a giant Ferrero Rocher tree at the Eaton Centre around Christmas last year.
They were giving away samples of their new dark Ferrero balls.

It tasted like heaven, and was worth the line-up.
Egg salad sandwich from Michel's Baguette.
The bread and ingredients tastes fresh, but it's sill overpriced for a sandwich.

Yet another work dinner:

Jo made me take a picture of this at Loblaw:

I bought these not realizing that they were the wasabi flavoured version:
My nose started running. :| Also, the normal version doesn't usually clump up like that.
Banana bread:

I laughed so hard at this sign:
Buffet King food:
It's not the best Chinese buffet out there.

Tried to make apple crisp using this recipe I found onlin.
Tasted like raw oatmeal, except for that glazed-looking part on the side.

Banana bread ingredients:





Super moist banana bread. The recipe with sour cream was the most moist.
Pizza chips!
Est Asie (1320 Sainte-Catherine Street East, Montreal, Quebec)

I got the orange beef. All I remember was that it was quite large.

Lemon pepper chips courtesy of Sheila:
The first bite really was a kicker. I think it involves salt and vinegar seasoning.

I think this is from Kuni Sushi Ya all you can eat buffet:
Not the freshest sushi I had.

Breakfast buffet at some hotel in Montreal. I can't remember which one.

Clock Tower Brew Pub (575 Bank Street, Ottawa, Ontario)

Happy hour specials include mussel plates and beer. They brew their own, but nothing stands out in my memory as this was a very long time ago.

Free President's Choice samples: chicken, some spread, and italian soda. Italian soda wasn't bad.
Um... I don't know.
