T-Minus 7 Days

It's crazy. I will be home one week from today. Man, this time has flown by. Friday, the plan was for a group of us to go to the CN Tower for dinner. Dinner there is expensive, but here's the thing; from what I saw, the average dinner is about $40, but you get to eat in the spinning disc at the top of the tower. So you get a three hundred and sixty degree view of the city. They charge you $32 just to go up in the tower to look out the windows below the spinning restaurant. So for $8 extra, you get a really good meal and the view. Now that's bargain shopping. So we went Friday, but when we got up to the top, it was so crummy outside we were literally sitting in a cloud and couldn't see anything. We decided to come back when we could see. Fortunately for us, the management didn't mind. We left the CN Tower somewhat disappointed, but extremely hungry. While trying to find a place to have dinner I came across the following sign and was hoping someone could explain what chunky fries are.

In any event, we made it to a place called Joe Bibaldi's. It is an Italian restaurant and was really quite delicious. With the whole pork conversation the other day, I was really hungry for pork. When the waiter came over and informed us that today's pasta special was "Wild Boar Ragu" I nearly messed myself. Below is Ahmed in Joe Bibaldi's.

After dinner, we decided to walk a bit of the carbs off. We ended up in Yorkville, an upscale, chic, little neighborhood. They have a lot of boutiques like Harry Rosen and wine & cheese bars. After mulling around a bit we stopped into a little place called Prive for a drink. It was a bit too hipster in there for my taste but cool all the same. Below is a picture of the "smoking patio." We had a drink at Prive, then headed home, not before stopping at Tim Horton's for a donut of course. **Cha-ching, right pop?**

Yesterday Courtney and I went golfing. It was his first time on the golf course and surprisingly, he didn't do too bad. After golf, we were so hungry we decided to go to the Korean Grill House for dinner because it's all you can eat. If any of you have ever had Korean Barbecue, you know what those who haven't are missing.

First off, they bring you out your drinks, rice, soup, two types of cabbage, a slaw, and bean sprouts. Then, they bring out your meats. Chicken, pork (love it), beef steak, whitefish, and squid. So you have all of these little containers all over the table. You pick what meat you want and with your tongs, throw it on the grill. Did I forget to mention the grill is built into the center of the table? That's right, you grill your own food. It was really cool and a lot of fun. The smells in there were amazing. Until next time.
