Back again with another daily dinners post. There’s a few restaurant meals in the mix but I didn’t talk about them much because I think I’ll make separate review posts later.

september 8th, 2013 – pesto pasta with sausage and peppers

september 9th, 2013 – pulled pork sandwich with green beans

september 10th, 2013 – alaska roll and spicy tuna roll from Sushi Garden

We picked up sushi before going to a movie… accidentally carried it sideways in Scott’s bag. Oops!! SUSHI SCRAMBLE! Still tasted delicious though. I think Sushi Garden is my new favourite cheapo sushi restaurant.

september 11th, 2013 – homemade burger with avocado and yellow sweet potato fries

september 12th, 2013 – big salad with grilled chicken

september 13th, 2013 – panang curry with chicken, peas, green beans, zucchini, eggplant

september 18th, 2013 – lasagna

september 19th, 2013 – leftover chicken soup and cheesy garlic bread

I like the pancake but Scott didn’t, and Scott liked the cauliflower but I didn’t. Ha.

I may be smiling in that picture but actually I felt like puking from nervousness!! I was so so so scared to actually do the tryouts. Scott had to drag me there, pretty much. I felt more nervous than I do before giving presentations!!!

Thankfully it ended up being a super small group (5 people) and not super intimidating. My sprint performance was pretty pathetic but I apparently had the best broad jump form. (THANK YOU YOUTUBE!) I jumped 1.78 m which is only about ONE METER TOO SHORT. Lol.

But I guess since so few people actually showed up I made the team? I’m just kidding grandma. I don’t have the time/money to actually do that anyway. Even though it was slightly embarrassing I’m still glad I went and glad I got the chance to show Ivo that I am still really interested in skeleton. I guess it worked because he talked about bringing us to Calgary to try running starts in the icehouse in a couple weeks!!

BTW my skeleton goals:

  • Year 1: Break 100 km/hr. DONE.
  • Year 2: Move up starting positions. DONE.
    • break 120 km/hr (this was mostly Chris’s goal but I beat it first so it became my goal too). DONE.
  • Year 3: do a running start!

We went to the PNE yesterday evening. Scott’s work put on a BBQ, although I didn’t eat much there because it was just regular BBQ stuff. Later I ate deep fried macaroni and cheese balls (picture in tomorrow’s daily dinner post). We went on the Tilt-a-Whirl (my favourite carnival ride). We walked through the exhibition area and tried all the massage chairs.


Then we went to the Sam Robert’s concert. While there I realized that the last time I saw him perform was TEN YEARS AGO at my frosh week at Dalhousie, haha. It was a good show, like ten years ago.



It’s weird that Playland isn’t open late at all during the rest of the summer. Atmosfear looks so cool at night! All carnival rides are cooler in the dark with all the lights on!
