Why do we keep going back to something that we totally fail at? Is it because we are trying to prove ourselves wrong? Maybe we believe that we are better prepared to face the task at hand.
But we were wrong once again.
The anguish, pain and suffering embraces us, as we scold ourselves for doing something so stupid once again.

Recipe of the Day: French Tacos
Serves 3
No. I do not mean a French woman's nether-region.
This dish started out as a nice steak with a white wine reduced Dijon mustard sauce. However, there were leftovers in the fridge and I didn't want to waste them. When the cooking was finished I questioned what I had made. It was an abomination of French cuisine in a Mexican shell. Brave Jon took the first bite and declared the dish was safe to eat and quite delicious.
He was right. I was quite delicious.

Toronto Beer Festival
Friday was a great day. I didn't have to go to work, I had finished everything that I needed to do for the weekend and the beer festival was in town.
I had been looking forward to this event for weeks. One thing that I really miss about Hong Kong is that there is no policy towards open alcohol. I can drink a beer where I want, when I want.
Maybe I just wanted to take a stroll in the park and have a nice cold one, I can't do that here. Which is kinda sad, because there is just something about nature and beer, it's like eggs and soy sauce (they go so well together).
Continuing with my story, I left my apartment at 6pm thinking that 3 hours at the beer festival would be enough.
In retrospect, it was not.

Good Deeds
Have you ever preformed a task for someone? As a favor? Or just because you wanted to be nice?
You approach the task with the best intentions. You are a crusader for justice, riding the white horse of helpfulness, off to slay the evil whatever-thing-you-need-to-do.
But in the end, it all blows up in your face.

Recipe of the day: Chicken Parmesan
Serves - 3
This is one of my favorite dishes to make and eat. I remember the first time I had this it, I was 9 years old at the time. I went over to my buddy's house to sleep over, we did this quite a lot. Obviously, we worked up an appetite killing virtual baddies and feeling very accomplished. Meanwhile, up in the kitchen, his mom was cooking up a storm (and now that I think about it, she was hot). Anyways, the dish was delicious and hopefully I have recreated it close to its former glory.
This dish also got some good reviews from some friends. But that's not the point.
