Adieu Gourmet
I received my first and last copy of Gourmet magazine on Thursday.
Pretty ironic that I decied to subscribe again last month, just as they shut down. I guess I'm gonna start getting stupid Bon Appétit instead. Grrr...

Fog log: Friday, october 23
First things first. Last night, I opened the Montes Alpha I purchased in Boston.
It was elegant, fruity, with hints of cocoa and just the right amount of oak (and I am not big on oaky wines, usualy). I hope they have some at the SAQ, because I will be buying this again, fo sho.
So on with Friday then.
Yogurt at home
I don't know about you, but I am having the hardest time waking up these days because of the never ending darkness, so I often get up late and barely have time for toast. We have free breakfast at Sid Lee, but as you can see from the pictures I took in the last few months, I pretty much never take advantage of it. The free breakfast bar is fantastic, but I like to sleep as much as I can, I live far and it takes me 45 minutes to get to work on a good day where the cat doesn't make a mess I have to clean up just before getting out the door and the bus is on time.
Diet Coke - $1.25
Steak, salad, peas, green beans, potato gratin, lemonade, apple turnover - free from the bistro
A few times a month, we have "Midi Formation" on fridays a.k.a training lunches. We get a free lunch to be enjoyed while someone gives a conference, a coworker talks about their latest trip or while we watch a Shots DVD. Sweet.
Diet Coke - $1.25
Caramel Rice Krispy treat from the bistro - free
So effing sweet my teeth almost fell off.
Gin and tonic at home
I used some frozen lime juice instead of ice. Perfect!
Greasy chinese food - $19 with tip
I think the cute owl chopsticks make everything taste better. I bought them in Asakusa on my way to the temple. The tips are ribbed for my pleasure. Grippy!

I forgot I had the Cartet egg sandwich in the fridge at work and brought lunch, so I had it for breakfast instead.
Breakfast of champion - $1.25
Katherine Rollet, our epicurean life blogger on the Tourisme Montreal Web site, gave me a taste of some delicious cheese.
It was super fresh, salty and delicate. I would serve it with a peaches, basil and red onion salad, with a garlic-lemon vinaigrette and some crusty bread. Yummy.
Bento lunch from home. Click on pic for details!
Diet Coke from the vending machines - $1.25
Check out this old school vending machine. Sometimes I think I'm gonna go back in time as I slide a loony in.
Fritos from the vending machine - $1.25
The hot accessory for Fall!
Dinner will be spaghetti and a salad again. I will not have time to update, so you're "going to have to trust me", Jack Bauer-style.

Firefly juice and chocolate roll from Cartet - $10.52
The price included an egg sandwich I planned to eat for lunch.
Tea from the bistro
Then I went to the bistro.
This is where my egg sandwich plan went out the window.
Cream of vegetable, Alex's lasagna, lemonade, pinapple square - $6
This is where my egg sandwich plan went out the window. See, it was "Artisan Lunch" day and this lasagna looked just too good to pass up on. The recipe was provided by Alex Bernier, one of our senior copywriters. People raved about it all afternoon. Facebook status were updated and people tweeted about it non-stop. Pictures were taken. Some even promised Alex to name their first child in his honor. It was a lasagna to shame all other lasagnas.
Cookie - free from Lindsay
LOVE that Tupperware! hey what if I invited a Tupperware lady at my loft for a party? Would you come? Yes you!
Diet Coke - $1.25
Crackers and cheese at home
Rice, fish croquettes, kewpie, pickles, tomatoes
I've decided that I hate grape tomatoes. 1 out of 4 tastes horrible. It's the boobie-trap of vegetables.
I also ate a cookie but took no pic because you guys must be starting to get fed up of looking at pictures of my delicious cookies without having one.

Peanut butter toasts
Leftover tilapia, coriander rice, yogurt, Diet Coke ($1.25)
A dance of the dead was going on at our table, as people rejected the bitter greens from the bistro salad in a soup bowl. I topped it with a bruised tomato, for a touch of class.
Chips and Diet Coke ($2.50)
Post-pool crackers and spaghetti with meat sauce
