I stopped by L'eat for the first time to pick up a sandwich in the middle of running around - i didn't give it much thought until i realized just how good their grab and go Roast Beef w/dijon mustard and cheese.
Having glanced at the cold salads I thought I'd bring Ali for lunch the next today. Well today is that day - for $11 (the cost of some 12" subway combos) I had;
- roasted Veal chops which had delicious gravy and roasted cream mushroom,
- eggplant parmesan, and
- roasted zucchini mixed with goad cheese.
It also helped that it was a gorgeous day and the restaurant is open to Adelaide on warm sunny days.
I'll be back.

I got a recommendation from a friend regarding this lens.
Apparently everyone loves this lense and I can see why. I've taken some pretty awesome portrait shots. There are some pretty thorough reviews out there from professionals and amateurs alike and everyone raves about it.
At $84 this is an extremely affordable lens that's small, compact, and easy to use.

It's been a while coming but I've wanted a Digital SLR camera for a while now......and i got it :)
Okay, it's an early birthday persent but it's worth every penny.
Why?
Less than a year ago Ali and I bought our last digital camera, also a Canon, it takes great pictures but in every day use, especially with ChickAdvisor it's not great for every occasion.
We bought this in the US while on vacation because it was 30% cheaper than buying it in Canada. Don't ask me why but it was about $730 dollars here in TO but the Best Buy in San Diego price matched what we saw online.
Just how good is it?
I agonized over the purchase - it's not cheap. Canon and Nikon are head to head in features. Canon had a small edge for newbies as an entry level camera. Most Pro reviews I read basically said it's a total toss up.
Am I (we) happy?
Absolutely, this camera is super fun to use. Super easy on full auto settings and ultra high resolution at 10 mega pixels. Our pictures turned out great. I say we because Ali was using our 1 year old Canon (7.1 mega-pixels) and I was using this one. This one shoots faster and as one would think in much higher resolution.
Downside?
Lenses. Once you're hooked on this as a hobby it's expensive because additional lenses cost $300 plus.
The benefit however is that lenses can be resold because they hold their value.

I've been looking for a while to find a good laptop bag after my current one. Trying to carry more than just a your computer is tough without switching to a back-pack. I was looking for standard messenger bags but they have no padding. At the Apple store cool bags are like $170 bucks and the local luggage stores sell other standard bags/backpacks for about $60.
On a whim, Ali and I headed out to Carbon Computing on Queen East and found a great variety of bags plus this bag which was I think is perfect.

Burrito Boyz
I personally love eating at Burrito Boyz. I've done the every kind of late night meal and find this one fills you right up. There are lots of imitators and bad food out there. I have to say these guys are worth every penny.

Roots Trans Canada Watch
I've had this watch for over 3 years and I love it. It's classic, looks good either in sport or casual. I'm not the best when it comes to taking care of stuff and this watch just keeps on ticking.

Bally Total Fitness (Etobicoke)
I've been there a couple of times. The club is clean, it has a great selection of equipment, and I never have to weight for the machines I want to use.

I walk everyday to work and I have to wear comfortable, well suited, shoes for my work. This is my second pair of Geox, the first pair were sandals that I bought in Venice while backpacking in Europe. I have to say that if you're looking for good shoes..give these a try. I got my second pair on sale towards the end of the season. -
