This is Why You're Fat

I took a walk on my lunch break along the Lachine Canal and saw 5 turtles sunning on a rock, and 4 more on some logs a bit further. I wonder how tired I'll be? I didn't get to sleep till 1am or so last night. Tonight I'm gonna go see Crank 2, I'm trying to look forward to it but I'm too tired. Hopefully I'll have woken up a bit more by then :P

Oh, and I discovered This is Why You're Fat, and am so gonna make some of those creations! I have some tempura batter at home so this weekend I'm gonna go home and batter up :P I can't wait to try tempura fried sweet potato slices, I had some at the Korean/Japanese place on Sherbrooke W. near Cavendish that I went to with my friend Steph a while back.

Shish Poulet and Smokemeat Pete's

Me and my new roommate and friend Scott went to eat at the Shish Poulet on Newman yesterday, it was sooo good! Here's Scott's plate of shish taouk (chicken):

The inside of the Shish Poulet:





Here's a fermented milk drink that they had in the fridge with the soft drinks that I decided to try, it tastes like salty yoghurt, I found it ok:



And my delicious charcoal-grilled lamb sandwich with potatoes and garlic sauce, the only drawback was that the lamb had a lot of chewy fat in it, next time I'll ask for lean meat:



Afterwards we went back to my place for a while before leaving again, we listened to trance on di.fm while I sat in my bed and enjoyed the sunshine, I was in SUCH a good mood :D



Licorice enjoyed the sunshine with me:





Then we left, Scott to go to his friend's place, and me to meet up with Mat at the Longueuil Metro, took this while waiting for Mat at the metro:



We went to eat at Smokemeat Pete's (best smoked meat ever!!!) later on, here's the view of downtown Montreal from the Champlain bridge on the way there:





Here's a corner of the terrace outside:





My plate:



The restaurant:



The beautiful sunset I got a glimpse of out the back window of the car on the way back, I have to go to St-Anne's sometime soon to watch the sunset from the end of the wharf, it's so beautiful:

Dinner Experiment

On Friday after reading this thread I decided to go home and try dipping rye bread in meditteranean vinaigrette and toasting it, with anchovies on top once toasted. The toast turned out pretty boring, and the anchovies very salty, won't make this again:







I tried with mayonnaise also, didn't improve it much:



And here's a kickass beetle I saw parket at Angrignon metro the other day:
