CanadaWhat's For Dinner?
Last night we went to BB's parents but missed dinner so we had left over pizza from Donatos smile.gif

One thing I miss from TO is getting Oxtail and rice and peas from Raps or Spence's on Eglinton. Man I love Oxtail...the meat just falls right off. Its so good. I found one place here that has it but aparently its in a shady part of town. But really, for that type of food, its probably best in those parts! If anybody knows Toronto, Eglinton West wasn't the best of places, but I was used to it. I want to go. I will one day.

Just wanted to let you all know that all that excitement about my greek meal last night was totally fulfilled....that chicken recipe is definitely a keeper! It was absolutely DEEEEELISH!!!

thats all! Tonight for dinner, I have no idea, I made dinner the past 2 nights in a row, so BB's insisting it's his turn. Yay!

I miss Zorba's more than I miss the Friendly Greek!

Im warming up leftover Donato's Pizza right now. Yesterday we went for lunch and while we were waiting for our pizza, the cashier accidentally gave us a pizza almost the same as ours but thin crust, BB asked for thick crust...but then our pizza came up, so we got them both!

Sure, I just use: lemon juice from 1 lemon, 1/3 cup olive oil, 4 cloves of minced garlic, some salt and pepper and just a pinch of oregano, I stick it in a ziploc bag, shake it up and marinate the chicken for about an hour in the fridge.

I'm snaggin this recipe and trying it also...I absolutely LOVE greek food, Taste of the Danforth is my favourite part of summer for sure!!!

Today being Monday is Beer n Brats for Heroes night, but since BB has hockey @ 920, were gonna save it and do all that tomorrow night probably, and add in some Law & Order SVU to the mix smile.gif ( I heart.gif Stabler, and apparently this is a big episode for him....based on the previews, I'm scared!)

Im in Columbus Ohio right now! I was excited when I read that LOL

So apartment hunting last night with Buddy, and found this in an ad:

QUOTE
Details:
First and last month rent will be required along with a one year lease.
References will be required and will be checked.
Pets..... talk to me and we will see.....
Special note: We will not accept inquiries from, "BOYFRIENDS or Special Male Friends" of women who may be interested in this apartment as we are tired of pimps trying to find their 'girls' a nice place to stay. So if you're a woman and serious about the apartment there are two owners of this building, myself and my partner and either of us would be happy to talk with you and show you the space


Needless to say we will be staying out of that area LOL!!!

I've considered LASIK as well...my eyes are really bad! If I dont have my contacts, things that are 1 ft infront of me or less is blurry. However, I hate wearing glasses. I have small frame glasses and I hate that I can only see whats in the lens in front of me, and the surrounding is blurry. I get tunnel vision quite easily and refuse to wear huge glasses. So this means I wear my contacts for up to 16 hours a day. First thing I put in, last thing I take out. I'm sure this is damaging my eyes even more!

Is anybody willing to share their script? I'm at -5.5 in both eyes for my contacts, and I believe my glasses are even worse! (at my last check-up, 3 years ago anyways. Its probably worse now)

Ya, Ive been back and forth from C-bus to visit Buddy so much, when Im in TO, I dont have much time or access to a pc as I do when Im "on vacation" lol

Soo much to catch up on with all the readings here but for the most part, looks like everybodys doing good smile.gif
As well, Hi to those I dont know!

For the record, BB and I are doing great! We're still in "dating mode" and haven't decided where we want to set up shop to call home. We don't want to rush into something that we aren't completely sure of as of yet. So, we're both still doing the travelling to the other to get some together time smile.gif But I am armed with all the info I need for whatever choice we make smile.gif And Ive read through the whole wedding info thread, so when that time comes, Ill be even more so prepped hehe!

I'm on both sides with this one. I can understand having it for long trips, but I've seen a 2 year old who screams and points at the stupid thing any time they get in the car, even if its just a 5 minute drive! That drives me insane! Since when are parents so afraid to say no to their toddlers???

laughing.gif That sucks!! I know this is bad because cooking with real garlic is a million times better, but I got tired of my fingers smelling for like 2 days after peeling and cutting it,


Proven to work, touch anything stainless steel after cooking or cutting or any sort of handling garlic. If your faucets stainless steel just rub your hand along it for a second or 2 while lathering. I usually grab a fork of a knife and lather with that in my hands, then rinse. Kills the smell instantly! Try it!

I experienced the same thing when at Roy Thomson Hall, kind of. There was the regular bars, then the Lexus Lounge which was a private open bar for the people who had some serious money and donated it to the TSO. The guests in the lounge were always so much nicer than the regular patrons.

Haha. From my aunt:

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So, if you give her any #######, be ready to receive a ton of #######.

Toronto Invades Columbus Part 2!

Im excited. I just found out that my brother and a bus load of his friends are going to be going down to Columbus again for another Toronto FC Game against Columbus Crew. It was this road trip last year that gave our relationship the boost we needed to get where we are today biggrin.gif

To make matters 59832095823 times as better, the hotel they booked is 1.2 miles away from BB's House! I love partying with Toronto peeps! Especially Soccer Hooligans!! And even better, at my home away from home!

LOL the whole thing is a fiasco. I have to get the perfect zigzags all the way around (always takes forever and is never right...makes me want to pull my hair out instead!) Also, our bathroom is white and dark red hair dye and black hair dye stain. I covered the WHOLE bathroom in plastic (a la Dexter hehe!) and still managed to get some on the counter. Also I have to try to get the red on the right parts and the black on the right sides of the zig zag. It just takes a long time. And a lot of work. But definitely worth the effort in the end!
When I pull my hair back with a clip, you can see the red and black sections quite clearly. Yay!

So I finally took some pics of my colouring fiasco from last week. Too bad I left them on the camera like an idiot (I took everything else off of course) But this is from summer when I did the exact same thing:



I just did the exact same thing again, split it in half in a zig zag pattern, then did the top red, and the bottom black. I like the way it turned out!

CanadaWorst Excuse you have EVER given for not being able to go to work...
Heh, not an excuse for not showing up rather, but kind of in the same category. I was working in a call centre and our "managers" were these stupid kids still in high school who really enjoyed the "power" they held...I was a little bit late coming in to work. legitimately because of the subway. They asked why I didnt call. I told them I asked the conductor if I could use his "phone" but they didn't let me. It shut them up and I ended up using that like many times LOL


I've never used the death in the family excuse, but I have definitely used the Sick Family member line.
