Russ · Oct 28 06 12:27

Well, I will probably regret this tomorrow but what did you do tongiht?

I passed my first transport canada exam, and it was one of my cousins' 19th so we went out clubbing. I am now out in new west at a hotel... drove out and not ok to drive home so I got a hotel, my g/f is with me. Went to horizons tonight up bby mountain for dinner.

Yes i got wrecked, thats why the hotel.

Other than that i feel good from my exam...

What did you get up to tonight? Er, yesterday I guess by the time you answer.

Uh oh, I dont remember posting this.

P.C. · Oct 28 06 01:20

Uh oh. A good time was had by all, I trust ? LOL

Russ · Oct 28 06 01:32

Seemed to! I know my cousin had a good time, although we are trying to find out where he is right now.

They ticketed my vehicle, but I can accept that, my fault. I am not feeling so well about my exam now.. talked to some of the others that wrote it as well.

Some of the happenings and storys from last night are hilarious!

What has caused the doubts about your exam?

Lise · Oct 28 06 04:27

Russ, good luck on your exams.

Friday night......? We had hotpot for dinner with family. We boiled soup and tossed in everything from slices of chicken to tofu anything.

Then nothing much afterwards.

Sometimes I miss those nights when you just call up a bunch of friends and hang out. Ah well. I can't complain. Having two little ones will definitely keep you busy.

Thanks Lise and PC. That was the only one for this month. The questions are sketch and describe essay type questions. And I think I went the wrong way on some of the questions, Ill find out when I get the mark. Ah well, if its not too well I can rewrite.

How do you do hotpot at home? I loved hotpot and stone dish when I was in china, havent seen stone dish here but I found a few hot pot places. Do you get a split dish for hot and regular broth like used? Im very curious, I would love to try it at home.

Congrats lise! I didnt realize you had two children. And I didnt realize that you had one so recently! You must be tired due to lack of sleep.

What an interesting Friday night, Russ!

We ended up sleeping at around 10. I was just too too tired. I don't usually end up going anywhere on Friday nights unless friends call us up. If I had the energy, I would've went salsa'ing with some friends down at the Law Courts. Ah well, next time.

I did school work watched the World Series at Applebees. Saw the local team win for the first time in 24 years then went to work at around 1am.

Lise · Oct 28 06 09:04

Applebees? We have one that just open not too far from our place. Any recommendations, SD?

Hotpot? Dead easy. Get a big portable wok and pop it into the middle. I use an electric wok but you can buy those gas burner plus pot at your local Chinese grocery store. One can of chicken broth, add two cups of water and set to boil. Place dishes of your favorite veggies on the side, fish/pork/chicken/beef balls.... you can add very thin slices of meat as well. It's whatever you want, Russ. You're only limited by your imagination.

T & T has its own version of hotpot which you can buy. Look for it in the seafood or meat or veggie section but it's probably easier and cheaper to shop for your own stuff IMO.

Sure I go there way too much heck me and my friend get the same waitress everytime (we only go to that one because my old city passed an anti smoking law while everywhere else I choke all the time because of the smoke)

Can't go wrong with the place to be honest. It can get 'boring' but all chains can after a while.

There menus are a little different in each region and I've never been to a Pacific Northwest Applebees. For example when I go to an applebees in florida there's this skillet that is creole/new orleans style with shrimp. You leave the south and that dish isn't on the menu.

Lise · Oct 28 06 09:11

Hmm.... I bet they'll have some BC salmon or maple thingee on the menu. I tried the one in Oregon, twas quite interesting but did not stand out.

Sportsdude · Oct 28 06 09:14

It might I don't know its just family friendly and to me anyway is like the local watering whole. You know what you're going to get everytime same. Nothing that goes wow excellent just okay.
