A Passion Revived... :)

Seeing how this is late night post, you can probably guess this passion isn't anything of great substance or depth, but it is still a passion nonetheless: being a foodie. Now, I don't proclaim to be an expert of any sort. I don't think I'll ever be able to be a food critique or what not... seeing how I can even barely fend for myself when it comes to cooking and what not. However, I do enjoy trying good and interesting restaurants... so, like my friend Jenn suggested, here's a list of places I want to try in the next few months (or realistically, years, seeing how this interest, like most of my other ones, isn't exactly the cost-sensitive hobby/interest):

1) Sushi Kaji: if you have kept up w/ my blog in the past two years, I've probably mentioned this several times in passing... I'm sloly recruiting people to come with!
2) Bymark: their rating has been fairly consistent in the past few years... so I'd like to give it a try - heard a LOT of good things about it!
3) Perigee: at the distillery district - my friend Mo went and said the dessert is to die for. I wanna go!!
4) Solo Sushi: Now, I'm not sure of the exact name of this place, but it's a Japanese place in Newmarket, Omakase style. Yummy :)
5) Langdon Hall: Looks fancy schmancy though... but great reviews!
6) Cava Restaurant: A reasonably priced tapas bar with good ratings from martiniboys.com... the menu looks really unique too!
7) Terra Restaurant: So close to home... a gem that's hidden in Thornhill, actually - they started having a tapas bar.

Anyway... to be updated; but for now, it's time for BED.... unfortunately, toiling in the kitchen for the night has brought semi-successful results. While I can now proudly say I can make some sort of hummus (edamame hummus to be exact), my green tea biscottis still don't look edible... not very one bit. Anyway, good night!

feeling a bit frustrated - i think i was more mature three years ago compared to now. i feel like a high schooler... (now, if only i had march break off, then that wouldn't be a problem!) in every possible way.

i think i am being cornered again, going back to the basics of surrendering.

randomness

- i was apparently a target during tonight's game, and i had some hard hits, but i'm still loving the game. :)
- facebook is extremely addictive. what makes it different from friendster though? (haven't figured that out yet...)
- i always tell myself to sleep early when i wake up in the morning; yet, i never learn... like now.
- still figuring where to go for vacation this year, and for how long. where to... where to... the land of the kiwis?
- learning to do things on my own this year... - i'm growing up :D
- finally taking kat out for dinner this weekend.... so i'm only half a year late for her belated birthday celebration...
- i need more sleep
- time simply flies by - i'm back in Oh-Really-Ah next week for two weeks.... my third year back at this client.
- roll up the rim - losing terribly - 15 cups consummed 3 wins 12 losses. i wonder why i can't save money.
- sleeeeeeep. a precious commodity.

ignorance is bliss.... but at the same time, i'm thankful for being in the know as well.
