Tidbits
Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…
A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles. I wanna play!
Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places. 2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.
A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…
An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies. I smell a lawsuit.
Will trade beer for Crumpler bags. Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Food Review: Bhima’s Warung

The rest of the places in that group occupies one building in Kitchener near Fairview Mall.

This past weekend consisted of a lot of food, and a lot of walking. Winterlicious is on again this year. After previous years’ disappointments at the “upscale” restaurants, we settled for a more “regular” place this time: Pony Bistro. This is a small French bistro in the…
Attempts at Chinese Cooking: Chicken

I make Japanese-style curry all the time, it’s easy using those curry bars you get at T&T. But such a dish lack greens. And all that’s fresh in the fridge is a head of romaine lettuce. I wanted to steam it so it will go “better” but Mike was lazy and served it raw. After munching on a leaf by itself and feeling like a rabbit, inspiration hit and we started wrapping it around balls of curry rice.

One might wonder why such a prime location as Weber and University can have no students there during lunch time on a normal weekday. When we walked in, half the tables were occupied, but they were all obviously non-students. And for good reason.
