Training Log Archive: Yukon King

short-ish walk but quite a good amt of time outside while D waxed the new Forester. went out for thai for dinner, also out for a lunch involving a bacon pizza which was evil & yet awesome.

not one but two trips to Stn Square on the train to get thru paperwork to buy a GIC, then a quick little pee-walk for G so we could go visit her mom & Su-Jane for 2 hours that afternoon - no dinner got made so we went out for chinese, yum!

down thru the woods, meandering around behind the towers....made gnocchi which was exercise in ongoing confusion & desperation trying to figure out how to do it, instructions bizarre. but seems to be OK, & what w/ feta, sundried tomatoes, pinenuts, garlic, etc, really it doesnt matter how the underlying carbohydrate is configured...but now I pretty much know how to make gnocchi. Dimsum w barney, ate too much, brought home a lotus wrap & an egg tart for D.

today is G's birthday - orange-chocolate cake, a garbanzo lamb sausage soup with new bread, a salad w/ feta N...stuff, and a pasta sampler plate - the pumpkin ravioli are gonna be weird I think, but thats why it's a sampler, so we dont starve cuz the experiments are simply too creepy to eat...

C • Oops. Happy belated birth... 1

walked back from Kingsway cuz bus people & road-work people were having a big ol' shouting match about who controlled the bus-stops on Griffiths so buses had kinda stopped happening. was looking for jeans at VV, plastic handle goo at hardware store, scored 0/2.
great dogwalk down stairmaster and all the way up thru the woods, deep crystal-blue sky, picked up garbage all the way.
G's dinner party was Awesome!!! nice sunset, classy jazz, cake was perfecto, two presents...

awesome swim, pushed pretty hard, hope it wasnt too much...

before and after swimming.
there were 3 old chinese folks in the hot tub while I was swimming - they chatted for a while, then they sang the Canadian national anthem (wtf!? so cute!!), and then they trooped over to the pool for some swimming. surreal but great.

weird walk up around the hydro bldg, went on a grasshopper hunt down by the bike-park, visited Happy in his garage on the way home.
shoyu salmon (hawaiian version) broc w/oyster sauce, curried yams...
starting work on Gypsy's second birthday dinner for tomorrow.

walked around the entire neighborhood, played in the bike park & in the dog park, went home, had tea, ate hoisin tofu & apple-plum crumble, went to photo society meeting, fun day.
