Peanut butter toasts, cheese, orange juice - free from the bistro

See? I DO take advantage of our free breakfast bar from time to time. :)

As you can see, I forgot my camera at home again.

Banana from the bistro dipped in chocolate pudding

I tried to make this pic as non-porny as I could.

English muffin, peanut butter, milk


Today, I went on a little adventure in sunny Sherbrooke! I was interviewing students from Université de Sherbrooke who are candidates for an intership in january. The U has a nice department that is all set up for employers to do just this, including refreshments and a little buffet at lunch.

Water - free (per diem)



Juice box from the break room - free


The buffet lunch was nothing to write home about, but it did the trick. I was famished!

Crudités, sandwich, yogurt dip, pasta salad, Diet pepsi


Petits-fours

The white one was a booby-trapped coffee ball of doom. (I hate coffee.)

Vitamin Water and chips - free (paid with per diem)


Apple from home on the bus ride home


Chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes, peas

I've discovered that if you have lumps in your mashed potatoes, just call them "rustic-style" and call it a day.

The last cookie

I think I am done with cookies for a while.

A fall breakfast for a strong artisan

I told you we have a great breakfasts bar at work but since like to eat at home, I rarely take advantage of it. Good thing Samuel is here to show you! Here is his very healthy meal, perfectly balanced and fueling him for a good day of creativity.

What better way to start the day than with a full breafast? Yum.

Waffles, eggs, orange 



In the pm, I went to the theatre to see Zombieland with Marc.
Hot-dog - $3.79 (outrageous!!!!)



Soda - $4.50 (crazy!!!)

I usualy bring my own contraband drink but forgot. These prices are just ridiculous.

Popcorn - $5.45 (insane!!!)


Back home, after a bit of shopping, I made a little dinner starting with a cream sauce prepared with tomato paste, herbs, capers, parmesan cheese and a bit of my onion confit.


As a starter, I had a bowl of my pumpkin soup drizzled with a bit of truffle oil.

Then, gnocchi with my sauce and some parm on top.


And the second-to-last cookie.


By the way, I am well aware that I eat way, way to much carbs. I think it's because I have bears in my family. Winter is coming after all.

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!
