I have been rather stressed out lately and have decided to take a few days off of work in the coming weeks to just relax and rejuvenate myself. In the meantime however I was in need of a quick fix and decided to spend the weekend with Jennifer which is always a good time. We met a few of her friends for dinner at this yummy restaurant and then headed over to the local pub for some pints and conversation. It was a huge sausage fest at the bar and we normally meet rather interesting (and by interesting I mean odd) people at the pub however we were left to our own devices on this particular evening.
(I did not take this photo, but it shows you what the clam looks like)
On Saturday Jennifer and her boyfriend took me to the most fantastic grocery store in the entire world: T & T Supermarket. Our first stop was the Dim Sum restaurant where we stuffed ourselves silly before venturing down the aisles filled with Asian delights. I bought yummy sweet and sour gluten, some custard buns and a bamboo steamer among other things. The music was quite eclectic and they blared everything from the Beatles to Slipknot over the speakers.....man was it loud and man did I love it!!!
(I did not take this photo, but it shows you what the clam looks like)I saw an elephant clam shaped like a gigantic penis alongside a king crab and cases of mangoes for $3.98!!! Clearly T & T is my new favorite grocery store.
That evening we went out dancing and drinking and ended up going for chow around 3 am to the place we took Claire when she was visiting!!! LD and I ordered poutine and potato skins to split; the waitress tried to tell us that it was a bad idea but we wouldn't listen and went ahead with the order. Out comes this ginormous poutine (enough for 3 or 4 people) and the biggest potato skins I have ever laid eyes on......Opps, I guess we should have listened. The funny thing is we've been to this restaurant a million times and know how large the poutine actually is.....clearly booze and ordering food are not a good combination!!
Thanks for a great weekend Jennifer :)

Glad the weekend went well, however, this site is becoming pornographic with that picture and the "sausage fest" bar trip. Ha. Here's to even more time off in the coming weeks, eh?
Wiwille, funny! The one I saw didn't look quite like those two...but you know what I mean.
2DP, it's turning into the female version of your site LOL!
Without the quick wit of course :P
That breakfast place was awesome! And now I have a major case of the "IwannacomebacktoCanadas!"
You rule, girlie.
Cxx
Sounds like a good time! Yeah, I think you should post a weekly penis shaped item. Just for kicks. ;)
The best part was how indignant you and LD were about the waitress commenting that you were ordering too much. Then as you tried to tackle that mountain of potato you both gradually realized that she was right, then you started attempting to put your food on other people's plates when they weren't looking.
I had fun too, let's do that more often, especially TNT. Maybe next time we'll buy food at TNT and then go home and actually make a big dinner or something.
PS Claire, any time you want to come back you're welcome.
Claire...come back!! We'd love to have you again!
JLee, haha I just might do that!
Jennifer, great idea about the supermarket and cooking a lovely meal, i'm in!! As for the food part, yeah we totally did that, poor M was like nooo i've already had potatoes I don't want anymore...then I put a slab of potato skin on his plate when he wasn't looking.
We have T&T here but I haven't been yet. I am now inspired to go!
T&T? How come I've never heard of if? Is it the new "New Asia"?
Sounds like a fun weekend... with strange food... a winning combo.
p.s. Sorry if you got this lame comment numerous times... I'm having a wee bit of trouble posting tonight. Time for bed I think.
