I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

Duck Pancakes!!

Finally getting around to blogging about Tiffany K‘s Duck Pancakes – pulled BBQ duck, a heaping helping of blueberry compote, and a huge scoop of creamy chèvre piled high on fresh flapjacks (I know, sounds SO decadently good!) from our initial brunch outing in November 2011 at Barque Smokehouse on Roncesvalles. Hey, better late than never, ‘sides, ain’t as if yer payin’ a pretty penny for the quality of my work … so no complainin’, lol. Found this pic, actually two pics – two perspectives … take a look! Neat!

Godzilla, no shit!!

Driving the other night on the 401, a grey Nissan GT-R flew by … he was three lanes over, and when he gunned it, I said, “there goes Godzilla” … we kept jockeying back and forth, separated by those lanes, but I always had him in my sights. Ten minutes later, and many kilometres too, he came up beside me in the adjacent lane, and I couldn’t fucking believe it … it ACTUALLY was Godzilla … the plate read GODZILLA … it was then I lost him, or so I thought, but further down the highway, I caught up, and came up behind. Now, I know this picture is blurry, and the glare of the flash hitting the windscreen filtering it even more doesn’t help (sidenote: as I clicked, the flash delay, I mean realizing it was going to flash, freaked me and my hand wavered, it was almost like I wanted to put my phone down, not wanting to be seen snapping a pic, lol), but THAT’S Godzilla, no shit!!

we got walloped

… and I’m the first to admit this pic does a disservice reflecting said shellacking, but trust me … it WAS BAD … and after plowing through a shit-load of snowbanks in my trusty Chevy 4X4 with the best money can buy Michelin LTX A/T2 rubber firmly planted on all four corners keeping me sure-footed and steady as she goes. Meanwhile, toss in three full blown sweating-my-ass-off-shovelling-sessions while you’re at it for good measure … hopefully in true danistrulythemanunderstanding fashion, y’all graciously exsqueeze me, empathize with me … as I pussy out snapping this pic standing in the cozy comfort and warmth from … INSIDE my house …

Canada’s climate change

Snapped this January 13 while out Sunday driving. Best I could do under the circumstances, keeping hands on the wheel, eyes on the road … it’s a VW convertible with the top down in the dead of winter. The day before we hit 15° C setting a record. It even felt warmer, was a beautiful, bright, sunny day … today was pretty much the same in the temp. dept. … sans the extra warmth of the sun. Old man winter, gotta love him!! 😎
