Should be worth the trip ...

Seasons Slippers, Purrrrrrr & A Happy Belly makes for a jolly fellow.

So, I managed to change "la bête" into her Winter tires this past week-end and I am happy to report that weird noise is now a thing of the past. Better yet, after a quick pit stop for some delicious "rotis" earlier tonight I got to confirm by yet another Imprezza lover that it's purrrr was now back to normal. Not a bad week for it, a new bearing, a little oil here and there (protection for the rubbers) added some gas cleasing agent and snuggled it into the upsoming season with her winter slippers. Comme quoi rien n'est trop beau ! lol. Also managed to squizz in some grounds maintanance as well as setting up the shrubs and co for the winter. Oh and tasted some jasmin tea fresly flown in from Asia from a friend of a friends on my way back up to the city. Good stuff, was more smokey than the usual stuff I get from China town with a more elaborate / consistent body. MArci Marie !

Speaking of "Rotis" ... Turns out that the new sandwich / pita place around the corner is closed on mondays just like our libraries ... #?#$%?#$%?# On the the bright and delicious side it forced my hand to get some Rotis from Ma's Place on Sherbrook. FYI that was a good super ! Why I have't been back there for so many months is beyound me. Those rotis... once again most potent in making one's belly ooohh so happy.

P.S. I would like to take the time to thank my roomate for the "left overs" just begging to be eaten late last night as I was getting in. Turns out that candied hand picked apples and pumkin muffins are good even at 1 am :P

Des Pommes et dla Boucanne Blanche

Une ptite vite pour vous en ce beau jeudi apres midi. Pas de photos de notre cueillette de pommes cette année mais oohh combien de pommes de ramassé ! 60 livres + les 20 livres rammassé par la coloc deux semaines auparavant pour un total de 80 livres de délicieuses pommes cueillit pour la saison 2009. À notez, pour l'année prochaine la location / achat de wakitalkee ... c'est qu'il est grand le verger Lafrance et qu'ont est distrait facilement avec toutes ces pommes et pommiers a grimpé ! lol Autrement dit, nous nous sommes un peu perdu de vues ... ;p

Sinon je reviend de déplacé la bête et imaginez ma stupeur lorsque dla boucanne est sortie de ma bouche sur le chemin du retour. Les deux pieds bin encré dans les feuilles orange et rouge vif et dla boucanne blanche sur les lèvres. De quoi te couper le souffle court et te laissé sans voix dije. Bordel de merde !!! Neige pas encors en ville mais pourmoi ce sera pas long... À savoir, je me suis laissé dire qu'il avait neigé un peu à Québec aujourd'hui ?! Parlant de météo et co. semble que mes pneus d'été sont comme qui dirai feni Ce qui implique changement pour mes pneus d'hiver ce week-end et excuse parfaite pour allé viré "en région" héhéhéhé. J'ai tu mentioné que mes pneus d'été have "gone beyound the crack", where no tires should have nor need to go" ? Et bin oui imaginé vous. Enfin, j'ai du boulot sur le terrain égualement, préparer les vivaces et arbustes ainsi qu'entré les pots d'annuelles pour l'hivers. Une visite dans le patlin est donc d'usage.

J'oubliais, hier soir nous avons eu droit à notre première simulation de feux dans l'édifice. Simulation , simulation ... l'une de mes voisines semble avoir eu quelques troubles avec son four. Du genre pas capable de c'en servire comme du monde ce qui a eu pour résultat le déclenchement de l'alarme de l'édifice. hahahahahahaha. Rien de bin grave, juste un peu de fumé. Au moin maintenant nous savons que l'alarme à incendie fonctione ! Ironiquement, parmis les mets tenté à cuisiné durant la dite "simulation" fut une tartes aux pommes... Recettes de tarte qu'elle a copié ici-même lors de notre dernière cuisson de tartes et recette qu'elle due complété ici itou hier soir vue le peu de succès précédent avec sont four ! LOL

New Year Resolution & Fans Of McKay

.
My new year resolution, be like Jet Lee McKay !! Well... add some degree of success in the training ohh and less of the being beat up part. Getting an office would also be grand, but then one without the life sucking aliens so close at hand. Oh and can we do it without the caveman as the trainer ? Maybe the sexy alien and a happy ending as in all worthwhile tales ? ; p



28 years in 15 hours, 3 minutes, give or take a few...

Cheers !

Mr. Gibbles

Ladies and Gents, The call has been placed to Mr Gibbles from the Free Range... Soooon oohh yess sooonnn he shall be among us. All hail it's Free Range Turkeynishh !




WTF ?! Perhaps an extract from the invite sent by my roomate might help to claryfy a little:

"Organic Heritage Turkey. What is that you ask? Well these days 95% of the turkeys sold are from a single breed that has an unusual and unhealthy large chest (for breast meat) and is dumb as a stump. Because of this, these turkeys cant even procreate. This year we want a turkey that can have sex, so we opted for an almost extinct heritage breed of turkey that originated from Quebec and once roamed the vast frozen land with the buffalos.

For those of you who don't care if you turkey has enough brain power and correct weight distribution to do the deed... well I can tell you that it is supposed to taste freakin amazing"


Gooble Gooble !!!
