Flattened

It’s the weekend, so of course I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. (photo: Urban Mixer via Flickr) Dinner at Wild Rice last night was fantastic.  Soooo good, and the place has a great atmosphere. I had the Kung Pao chicken along with some seared halibut and shrimp conji.  Will definitely go back again. Afterward, saw [...]

It’s wild, and rice-like

Tonight, I am leaving the sanctity of Fatty’s Palace to venture out into the world.  To be among people. For food, of course! Destination?  Wild Rice! (photo: Magalie L’Abbé via Flickr) Is it just me, or does Wild Rice bear a strong resemblance to Ten Forward from Star Trek: The Next Generation? Anyway, I hear it’s good.  I probably should [...]

A man of leisure?

Slept in until noon today.  Made a full breakfast when I got up: eggs, breakfast sausage, Earl Gray tea. My apartment smells like Denny’s now. Weather has deteriorated again.   I was going to go down to English Bay today with some of my more underused cameras (Holga 35mm, Diana, etc.), but I should have done that yesterday [...]

I do write about other things, honest

Lest ye think this is a single-issue blog (and oh, what a lovely single issue it is), I do write about other things.  No I don’t. Before I proceed any further, allow me the liberty of saying that I completely forgot that The Darcys played The Bourbon on Guy Fawkes Night. That’s a GIMME post [...]

Now we’re cookin’!

Click click click! I went grocery shopping. Look at all the healthy things I’m going to pretend to eat! Pictured: organic carrots, stuffed pork chops, potatoes, bananas, and two organic soups: butternut squash and Thai coconut.  There may or may not be a bottle of Diet Pepsi in the background.  (Shut up.)

Protected: I have Halloween plans

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

All aboard the Gluttony Express!

Choo choo! If I could take these crepes, cook ‘em in a spoon, and shoot them into a vein, you know I would.  Totally.

Dim sum, yum yum, sleepy time, awww yeah!

Oy.  I’m in trouble now.  I “rested my eyes” at 6:00pm (I was dead tired), and now it’s 11:00pm and I’m wide awake.  Clearly, I’ll be up most of the night now, as my sleep cycle has been thrown way off. I’m going to make some tea, and perhaps have some cereal. How did I get to [...]

A chill in the air

I think tomorrow is the first day of Fall. I like Fall, but the current stretch of rain/clouds here in Vancouver has me bummed.  Plus I am swamped with work right now.  I feel pulled in fifty directions.  It’s not fun. Baking a cake in Fatty’s Palace maybe wasn’t such a good idea.  It’s already a third [...]
