Found a chocolate bar in a kitchen cupboard, good tasting 70%; after I finished it a few days later, looked on the packet and discovered it was cooks chocolate. :gasp:


Oh and I also noticed the best before date was Sept 2017!, but tasted fine to me.  :blush:

The mother of one of the people I work with gave me some home made dried pork belly.  I was instructed to place it over rice in our rice cooker - easy and oh so delicious.  I am not sure exactly what spicing she used, apparently it changes a bit from year to year.

Mrs B had training downtown this last week.  She called me up and said we should go for lunch.

My office is literally next door to Edmonton's Chinatown, so that's where I suggested we go.  Wound up going for Vietnamese food.

I love Vietnamese food.  It's this weird mix of being 90%+ asian, but with these French and American influences on top of it.  Like Vietnamese iced coffee.  First of all it's one of the only places in Asia that has adopted coffee, but also used condensed milk.

Anyways, I ordered salad rolls, but wound up taking most of them home, and gave them to my kids.  They really enjoyed them, and they can be picky eaters.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

I was at McDonald's and had a McPlant with a Beyond Meat patty. Not bad. Or at least not worse than the other stuff they sell.

I am effectively vegan at this point. Modern mass factory farming is a moral blemish on humanity.

Damning with faint praise.

It was next to the Autobahn and the alternative was a Burger King.  :sleep:

So you didn't consider roadkill instead?

Congratulations, you managed to elect the worst.  :P

Never tried it, so I can't say whether there was a real choice to be made or not.  :hmm:

Celebrated Easter (and the end of Lent, when I'm vegan) by doing some home made char siu pork :mmm:

I made a chicken roast with the chicken covered in ingredients to make it taste like a chicken kyiv.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Having rabbit today. Easter tradition in my family.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
