Canada day

Posted by Elliswordpress on July 10, 2014July 11, 2014

Went to Swiss Chalet for dinner on the weekend- its been a really long time since I set foot in one of these- we had a coupon that gave us an appetizer, dinner and dessert for 19.99- a good price for the amount of food. It was a really relaxed atmosphere inside. It was definitely a family oriented thing- the really funny kids going nuts inside was indicative of that.

This was the smallest chicken dinner I have had- it was one chicken leg- if I didnt have a coupon, this 1/4 chicken meal would have deeply disappointed me. The chicken was just ok- I would have expected more from a rotisserie restaurant. It was fresh at least.

This was really good- four cheese spinach dip – obviously we didn’t miss carbs this day.

Dessert was ridiculous- this was pure sugar. Sponge cake with ice cream and caramel drizzle- I don’t understand how people can eat this on the regular.

Mind you I eat McDonald’s on the regular. Breakfast burritoes for the win.

Making rice rolls for breakfast.

Went for a really nice Saturday morning walk with S and saw this groundhog on my running trail. Super chill guy- I was able to get real close to him and watch him do his groundhog stuff.

We hiked really west here and found a guy under the bridge. That was kind of startling.

It was really sunny out- taking shelter in the shade was a necessity.

This blew my mind- Taiwanese style fried chicken- SO GOOD. Top ten fave foods here in the city easily.

Hyphy mud- after watching Kali Muscle on youtube, got inspired to try his prison pre-workout drink of instant coffee and coke- IT IS DISGUSTING. I didn’t get any pump before the gym.

Canada Day fireworks. I usually try not to take too many pictures during events- I am a firm believer in experiencing the event rather than try to save it in memory. I saw a good opportunity to set up a tripod though and fired some nice shots of the High Level bridge lit up and the explosion spectacular.

Really nice deep red Canada day themed one.

BOOM!

Take out pizza from Dominoes- this was really good- Dominoes has really improved their pizza since I last had them.

My nemesis has been absent for me all summer! Or maybe this is indicative of my minimal outdoor activities now. I’m obviously choosing gym time inside over outside because I HATE THE HEAT.

Take out from T&T Supermarket- of course it ended up being all breaded and deep fried. The crispy squid is actually pretty good for a take out item.

Taipan- my fave Portuguese chicken baked on fried rice.

W got her usual fried fish and corn.

Eggs, bacon and peas. All part of a delicious meal.

Ribs, sausage and chicken and greens. Getting my protein hard. I have enjoyed being off protein powder so far. I don’t feel less stronger.

The bridge looks really beautiful at night.
