Ordered sweet and sour chicken for lunch today from the Chinese store near my summer job. Considering it was almost $8, I wished It tasted better. Unfortunately, it was mediocre at best and the wait was too long. Too bad too, since it’s the only restaurant within walking distance from here. It’s gonna be a long summer.

Last night’s dinner: Ribeye steak with sauteed mushrooms, mixed vegetables and fries.
Last night, I explored St. Lawrence Market with Boyfriend, before having dinner. I’d been hesitant to go to the Market before as I’m not really into the whole hanging carcasses, uncooked meat scene, but I thought I’d expand my horizons. There were some questionable sights (like fish and other oddly shaped seafood- I am very squeamish) but for the most part, it was quaint. The area is old, as are most of the shops, so they give off the vibe of a less complicated time. I don’t know why I assumed it would look like a butcher’s freezer!

I am anti-olive: This is a fact I have been aware of for many years. On my birthday last year, Boyfriend and I went to the CN Tower’s 360 Restaurant for dinner. I think my usual anxiety over new menus/restaurants played a factor in the brain fart that was to follow. By some freak accident, I found myself ordering, none other than olive brushetta as my appetizer. Immediately after I opened my mouth, I knew it was a mistake but I reasoned, it couldn’t be that bad since me and brushetta have a long standing friendship built on trust and reliability. All I have to say is that the chefs did an amazing job at capturing the taste of olives. So… if you like them, I definitely recommend it. Otherwise, stay clear.

The perfect excuse to have a bbq is to not know what else to cook/make. But alas! We were out of the essentials. So off to go buy some good ol’ burgers, hotdogs, buns, etc. Thinking this would take no longer than a half hour, I put my hunger on hold. Wrong. On both accounts. It took so much longer than expected, and my crankiness was increasing proportionally to my hunger. The final blow hit when I found out the store didn’t have any tomatoes. I was almost ready to give up and go home. Almost.
But to me, a hamburger, without tomato, is no burger at all. So to another store we went. We also bought (give or take) three thousand pounds of fries and macaroni salad. Sadly, when you’re hungry, you think you can eat everything.
Waiting on last night’s BBQ!
