I enjoyed today. Numerous reasons. The weather worked out. I went to Winnipeg and bought stuff (which is always fun). Needed some pool supplies for the new season and got a nice storage box/seat as well as a Lifetime brand picnic table. The table was certainly required and when we got back I took the axe to the old rotting table and burned most of it in a decent fire.

I picked up some shorts which seem cool enough (we’ll see). Also stopped at Tommy Hilfiger (thanks to PP for the suggestion) because I need a new spring jacket to replace my sad and torn up excuse for a covering. Found a really nice one that was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Also managed to get a very decent sturdy rugby shirt for $9 (!!!!!!!!!!!) on sale. Crazy (although maybe I am the only one who likes it?!?!? Hmmmm).

I decided to have lunch at Joeys (having never been there before) which turned out to be pretty awesome. Joeys also happens to be one of the few places that pours Guinness from the tap so a pint of that helped the souvlaki go down nice. Overall Joeys is a pretty amazing place. The executive chef there is Chris Miller who has competed on Iron Chef Japan. I think I’d like to go back sometime and try dinner there.

Oh yeah – I also got maybe the best Indian cookbook I’ve ever seen (I have a couple). The recipes are incredible and very thorough with some nice photos and articles to boot. I’ll be making boatloads of Indian in the next little while I think.
