On the lunch menu today: Canadian back bacon in a kaiser and Boylan Root Beer. Courtesy of Imperial Meats in the Outlet Collection at Niagara.

Bacon (or Burger) and (root)Beer!  Probably the best lunch combo there is!

(Ed: then I noticed in my pic…Potato and Bacon soup…what’s with bacon these days?! XD. )

Alvin’s Food Follies – Porkfection?

I had a chance to revisit the food tents in front of Toronto Union Station again.  I didn’t realize just how much selection was available in such a small space!  Diving in, I discovered Bacon Nation.

Never Forgotten

14 Years ago we faced one of the biggest atrocities this country has ever experienced. I will never forget what I saw that day, the feelings I had, the emotions…

As I sit here on my desk, staring at the Freedom Towers, I can’t even imagine if was sitting here 14 years ago, and seeing that from my desk. I did see Tower 2 fall in a roof top parking lot, and I still can’t believe it to this day that it happened.

From all of us here at JustWroteABlog, a moment of silence to the heroes and the victims of that day.

RANDOM PHOTO OF THE DAY – SKATE? SKATE?! SKAAATE?!

Put this one under the uber lucky tab. Now, I am a big dude. Standing at 6 foot 6 inches, I am tall for someone of asian decent to say the least. Some time ago one of my nephews had a birthday party at an ice rink, or an ice skating birthday party, so my wife and I volunteered to take him, since we can both skate and his parents can’t. Now for a tall dude, I have pretty big feet. It goes without saying. Long story short, they did not have skates in my size (shoe size 15), and I was stuck in the sidelines watching everyone have fun.

Random Photo Of The Day – Peter’s Denial

Was browsing through all my photos and found this photo I took of a chicken sandwich.  It was ordered by my god daughter while we were at “The Priest” and is called Peter’s Denial.  Good one, guys!  I’m wondering if bacon can be added, but I need to check out this sandwich at my earliest.

Random Photo Of The Day – Banh Mi Boys

Went to a Vietnamese sandwich shop some time last month and this was what my girlfriend ordered.  Rice bun, veggies and a decent sized strip of Pork Belly.  Jezza, eat your heart out!

A proper review of this tasty number whenever I get a chance to revisit.

EARWORM: Skrillex and Diplo, Feat. (WHO?!?!) BIEBER(?!!?) – Where Are U Now?

I have to admit, I must have been hiding under a rock because this was the first I have heard the song playing while I biking along Yonge St. during Open Streets Toronto this past weekend. The song was out almost all summer! I caught myself bobbing my head to it.

EARWORM: Calvin Harris + Disciples – How Deep Is Your Love

Calvin Harris first debuted in 2007 with an album called “I Created Disco” and his third solo album, “18 Months” got him international cred. To date, Calvin has 4 albums.

This single collaboration with the London dance trio, Disciples, got my head nodding in the train on the way to work. The video was released on August 6, 2015.

So great to hear fresh stuff coming from across the pond!
