I’ve always wanted to have a clickable Canadian map on Ride the Tempo so I finally found a plugin that let me do it. Check it out on the front page. I still have 9000+ posts to go through and tag the provinces but it is live and working!
At the moment, I don’t have many artist from Northern Canada. I would love to change that. If you know any cool Canadian acts from Northwest Territories, Yukon or Nunavut I would love to know!
I went to a 3 Brewers finally this week. The one near the Eaton’s Centre is huge! Going to the bathroom is like navigating a labyrinth.
Anyways, I couldn’t go there without ordering a bunch of beers so I had the Traditional Et Cetera which was 4 4oz tasters of their White, Blonde, Amber and Brown beers. I liked the blonde the best. It was dry and had a fruity bitterness.
I paired my darker beers with their version of a Steak Frites. My steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare and seasoned with an herb butter. The fries had a hint of garlic.
This is a decent place with many locations to casually hang out with friends, have a drink and some food.
A few months ago, at Camp Wavelength my friend Kate had the awesome idea to set up a booth where people could send postcards to their future self (mailed at a secret undetermined time).
Mine arrived this week. Haha, I didn’t realize at the time that I made a horrible grammar mistake.
Regardless, I needed the reinforcement lately and it was a nice surprise when I opened up the mail and received the postcard I forgot I had written.
Here are some photos of Teddy I took on our autumn stroll with my iPhone 7 Plus. Here is the post with my DSLR for comparison.
In outdoor lighting this phone makes a killer camera.
People kept sharing this gif today and it is like triggering so much anxiety and OCD. How does this gif make you feel?
Late post tonight! I had a long day at work which finished off with a show an Alessia Cara show at Massey Hall.
I went hiking with the dog somewhere in Milton last weekend. Here are some photos from my DSLR. I’ll be posting a second set tomorrow with photos from my iPhone 7 Plus so you guys can compare!
Recently, I went to Barrio Cerveceria, a Mexican restaurant in Leslieville with a friend.
We began with an order of Ole Ole Guacomole. The guacamole was decent. I think it was supposed to have pico de gallo but I didn’t really see any.
Next we had the Hole Mole!, a tuna tostada made of tuna tartare, butter lettuce, beans pureé, mole sauce, crema, cotija cheese on a baked tostada. I found that the mole and cheese overwhelmed the fish. There was also a slightly weird flavour in it.
We shared an order of Mexican Street corn in a cob with spiced mayo, cotija cheese and scallions. I can’t resist a grilled corn and this one was full of flavour.
The El Cartel shrimp ceviche had a cucumber broth with coriander pickled tomatillo and pickled red onion. It was a very interesting combination of flavours.
My favourite was the Marinero, Marinero cod ceviche with mango sauce, pico de gallo, anise-hibiscus flower, inferno salsa and coriander. I loved the presentation with the mango sitting on top of the inferno sauce. One sauce calmed the other and added a nice tart sweetness.
I washed the food down with Smoked Margarita.
For desert I had the Pastel de Reyes made with corn bread tres leches, carmelized banana, chocolate ice cream and mint. There were also fresh berries. This was a beautifully delicious dessert that didn’t last long!
I thought the dishes here had hits and misses but it was worth coming here for the dessert and cod ceviche.
This week I was having a major anxiety attack and couldn’t focus much on life. I decided to go home (to my parent’s) and spend some quality time with Teddy. Cuddling with a dog really helped calm me down.
Now I’m doing some very necessary blogging and work I was behind on!
Last weekend, I purchased this Pikachu costume from Teddy that is a bit too small..
Here are some hilarious photos of him looking miserable in it. He hates clothes.
