So in terms of activities, not too much happened other than my friend’s official going away party 😦 she left the next day.. it was too sad…. she was basically one of my very first friends here in Calgary and she was the one who invited me out to go shopping with her and two other friends…which then led to meeting even more people here… so she was one of the ones that had started it all! and i am forever grateful for that! she was such a great friend and i’m going to miss her dearly! BUT, it just means that i’ll have someone to visit when i go to Indonesia!! 🙂
Saturday, we went to watch Argo and that was a great movie.. so far Ben Affleck, all the major movies you’ve directed that i’ve seen have been amazing… great watch!
Anyway not too much to show for so here are some food pics.. not the greatest… 😦 but some healthy ones in there!
WEDNESDAY
Pan fried mackerel, steamed broccoli, and vegetable couscous!
THURSDAY
my lunch! multigrain bread, arugula, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, avocado, and turkey breast with a drizzle of horseradish mustard (my fave!) and goat cheese! i’m sad to have no more turkey leftover and so i will not be able to recreate this for awhile…………………….UNLESS………. (i buy turkey meat… does anyone know if i can even buy turkey meat when it’s not thanksgiving or christmas? i don’t think i’ve ever seen it now that i think about it…..how devastating!)
sushi for dinner!! because my aerial yoga class runs from 7:30-8:30… and this time it went to 8:50 😦
FRIDAY
the Californian panini from Holy Grill! SO GOOD.. this consisted of: Cream cheese, artichoke, eggplant, red onion, tomato, hot peppers. YUMMERS!! i love the banana peppers!
Beet chips!! AMAZING.. don’t knock em till you try em! i told jeff i had them.. (and i had leftovers) and his immediate reaction was.. “EEWWW THAT SOUNDS GROSS”.. i pulled out my leftovers and let him try and he was like “HOLY THESE ARE UNREAL!” ……. for you foodies out there, i think the number 1 rule is to never judge before actually trying it…… i need to follow those rules because i still think frog legs are disgusting! LOL!
fooman aka kim jon il, doin his thang!! (his name isn’t actually fooman…but he is usually the only one that is drunk….and he really does look like kim jong il………..)
stevani: you left the country with a BANG!….. naaaat! .. this is typical stevani at any outing.. asleep in the corner 😉
another fried chicken night, karaoke, and some sociables! (sociables is just another name for the game we play also known as King’s Cup! ..without the king’s cup though)
Meet Roshan! hehehe! what a cute little baby!!
SATURDAY
Fried egg (i like mine fully cooked whereas Jeff’s version had a sunny side up egg instead), grape tomatoes, arugula, avocado, goat cheese (which you can’t see) on a toasted multigrain slice of bread. YUMMMERS 🙂 i think this is my best weekend breakfast yet! probably because i wasn’t rushed to leave for work 🙂
saturday night we went out for some szechuan food! SO GREASY but SO DELICIOUS! see those chilli peppers? yah, those were in every single dish we had.. literally… oh man… at least spiciness helps increase metabolism! my stomach and the acids won’t be appreciating this though.. sorry guys! please don’t hurt me with an ulcer! 😦
SUNDAY
vegetarian sunday! we’ve been saying that we should have a vegetarian meal at least once a week……didn’t happen……..until now! i think… anywho, it was because we had a heavy team lunch after floor hockey.. so we decided to keep things light! leftover veggie couscous, roasted butternut squash (that we took home from friday’s going away party…Thanks Anh!) and steamed broccoli and cauliflower… (god i love my asian dim sum steamer… makes steaming veggies extremely easy!…. do any of you guys want to see how i use it? or is it a given?)
thanks for reading and hope everyone had a good weekend! remember, EAT CLEAN! that means, eat as little processed foods as possible! 🙂 will blog about that at another time 🙂 CIAO!
