BBQ Time

Today I opened up the BBQ for the first time this year. The weather was really nice, the BBQ warmed up nicely and I did some burgers, yummy burgers! The smell of a BBQ really reminded me of the Spring, warmer weather and envy of nice steaks, baked potatoes, veggies, and other good stuff cooked on the BBQ. As you can see in the lower picture, the burgers were really tasty! I'm really looking forward to more BBQ'ing and nice weather.

Let's make some pasta, I got the sauce

Every once and a while, I like to do a batch of meaty red sauce. I usually do a big pot and eat some pasta throughout the week and then freeze the rest for later on. Today, I finished gathering my ingredients and went at it. Here are the results :


It made for a good meal for tonight and now I have some leftovers for tomorrow and the next few days :)













Here's what it looks like packed away with a few containers of leftovers with a little bit of pasta that cooked. I figured I'd start off with spaghetti, but will probably change it up in a few days. I actually measured my pasta portions and it seems small, but I imagine with an apple and yogurt tomorrow for my lunch, it should be all good. :)

Mmm Muffins...

My roommate Amy often spoils me. She usually makes muffins every week or so and usually offers me a muffin. I figured I would take a photo of this week's muffins: blueberry muffins. The whole apartment smells of blueberry muffins, yummy!

Mmmm dessert

Simple: Good cake with Mack ice cream. Hanging out with friends and celebrating a friend's bday. Good combination :)

Savoury donair

Tonight was my normal Tuesday board game night at my old library. We continued on our game of Descent and I suggested we try a new place tonight. On the bus ride (no.85) from downtown, the bus stopped in front of Centertown Donair & Pizza (they don't seem to have a web presence). However, they advertise their donair's as being Halifax style donairs. If you've ever been to the Maritimes, or pizza corner in Halifax, you've hopefully tried out Halifax donairs and you know it's not your typical Ottawa style donairs. They come with a sweet garlic sauce, and the meat is a bit spicier compared to regular donairs. I have to say, they were TASTY! Just like I remember the donairs out east! Might not look appealing to everyone, but it all has to do with the taste! If you ever want an out of town experience in Ottawa, try out these donairs and you won't be disapointed!

Yummy Donair!

Welcome home

I'm on a road trip this week. I flew home to New Brunswick. As per usual, I usually try to get my seafood intake, and this time my dad surprised me. A short while after I got home, he said "do you feel like having some lobster rolls for dinner" and I was like, YEAH! So he said, come take look at this, and he pulled out a big bag of frozen lobster. He said, let it thaw, and then you can make lobster rolls for us. This is quite the treat!

The image is smaller than normal, trying to upload with no regular internet is not an easy or fast task. I had to re-size the image 3 times to get it uploaded. I'm currently on "Edge" internet speed tethering off my IPhone.
