a few pics from my awesome leslieville life…
grilled AAA striploins, served w/ Ace potato & chive bread
… shit don’t get no better!!
33¢ burgers!
No shit… and times two = 66¢!! And, these are the best quality bad-boys (frozen) my local market has to offer… twenty bucks for six is regular price! You do the math. But, y’all know my shopping (finagling) skills by now… so, box cost me TWO BUCKS!!
… and, them’s the fancyshmancy Ace Bakery burger buns to boot too!
eh eh eh
triple a … was fish taco friday, so i cast my line!
obligatory chips ‘n gravy (w/some crazy good aioli)!
THICK-ASS lasagna!
… last of the leftovers!
and, on the seventh day, god created the last slice of lasagna pie!
yep, a whole week’s worth of good eats, y’all!
look at all those luscious layers… lost track after nine! shaved reggiano for the finish!
… yep, good eats! hoegaarden too!
if i want to sit in and drink super tennents in the day i will, no one’s gonna fucking tell me jack!
but can you rely on anyone in this world, no you can’t.
it’s all my fault there’s wall to wall empty cans.
… everyone’s a cunt in this life no one’s there for me.
it’s the end of the something i did not want to end,
beginning of hard times to come.
but something that was not meant to be is done,
and this is the start of what was.

… drenched w/homemade sauce on a toasted kaiser!
round ‘n round we go!
Is how I’ve been… my brain frantically figuring out food for today! Thought I had it all set in stone last night too… Zin Zen was the plan, and don’t get me started on that one, woulda been the day of all days… the eats of all eats… the best $0.99 I ever spent! YES… 99¢ folks … y’all have no idea (OK, Caymus is a clue for sleuths in ya)!! But, Mother Nature stepped in (bitch… cunt, lol), and ultimately, ultra high humidity nixed it, nipped it in the bud! As a result, today dansplans kept changing, OVER AND OVER… at least dozen times! And, after much bustin’ brain against the wall (ok, pillow, lol), here is were we stand!
Fresh ground, hand formed burger, cremini ‘shrooms, heirloom tomato, swiss emmentaler, special sauce, on a buttered and grilled kaiser bun!
Verdict? Umm?!
… GUILTY!!
street dogs & creemore!
inspired by my PC® brand buns (check out the poppy seeds, extra long too) purchased today… love these bad boys! already had the all beef jumbo franks in the fridge… was a perfect marriage. roughly chopped sweet onion, sliced tomatoes, hot peppers, mustard… and, the secret ingredient (drum roll, please)… cheez whiz!! perfect for a hotter than hell july day, after a long day of work… and, after a 5k run… danistrulythemotherfuckingman!!
yum eats!
organic spring mix, best tomatoes EVER (from Holland), Vidalia onion, pumpkin seeds, and that’s just the salad!
best buns (Toscana), my bomber sauce, creminis (50% off), Jarlsberg, Angus Beef (seasoned w/ s&p, and Barberians)!

Thanks for the Swag, Steph!!
WOW!! How’s that for love? I have been a long-time loyal customer, but I really wasn’t expecting THAT, hell I wasn’t expecting anything! Two brand new logo (shape, too) premium lager glasses (which I was coveting), PLUS a voucher for an 8-pack… a $21.95 value itself! And, love the handwritten letter, such a personal touch! Thanks, Steph… and thanks folks at Creemore… best beer, and def best people behind the beer!! Cheers!!
diggin’ the sam can!
… and the Sam Adams Boston Lager of course! Check out the frothy head! Filthy good y’all!! So much went into the development of this can – google it, see for yourself. Was very curious if we Canucks would luck out w/ the Sam can too? I mean, it was developed for the US market w/ your piddly 12 fl oz cans … wasn’t sure if the Boston Beer Company Sam-can-slammed us as well w/ our upsized 473 ml cans? Yep, check the lip … they did! I gots me a new friend, and his her name is Sam!
chili chouriço
I’m the culinary king of adapting, if I do humbly say so myself!! Ok, maybe king of making shit up on the fly, but king nonetheless! So when my Portuguese lady friend Lina recently offered some of her home made chouriço (she smokes the shit herself in her backyard smoker too, y’all), I knew exactly how to put it to good use!! Make my SuperBowl chili as per usual, then slice&toss these badboys into the mix for that extra oomph!! And, with temps reaching minus 25 in these here parts, nothing beats a hot bowl of chili w/ grated Jack and a dollop of sour cream, along w/ plenty of crusty peasant bread (along w/ plenty of beer of course *wink wink*) on a cold Canadian wintry day!!
