food is good

My belly is so full right now.

Today is my friend's 30th birthday, so we went out to Wild Rice for dinner. So yummy! Three of us decided to share stuff, so we ordered what we thought would be just enough. The menu:
1) BC halibut congee: lemon and coriander infused jasmine rice soup with crisp whitefish crackers
2) Indian candied salmon crispy wontons with cedar scented pine nut green apple jelly
3) kabocha & butternut squash potstickers with kafir lime wasabi mayo
4) su dong po wild boar: song dynasty recipe, slowly braised in sweet soy, rice wine, maltose sugar and autumn spices with plantain chips on brown rice
5) Chinatown sweep: four spice blend dusted Keefer St. bbq pork and peking duck with east-west stir fry on crisped chow mein
...and for dessert:
6) dairyless vanilla rooibos tea and coconut milk brulée with burnt honey sponge cake and carmelized banana

Everything was tasty. And it was surprisingly affordable between the three of us (just over $20 each). We couldn't quite finish it all, though we just left a little bit of rice and some vegetables. It was so gooood.

This Saturday I'm hopeful I can go out for cake with a couple of girlfriends. We'd been trying to plan it last summer, but then things happened and it sort of wasn't discussed again until earlier this week. And now I'm thinking that I'll go for cake regardless if the others are able to make it or not. Not sure if the shift from beer to cake is better or worse, but at least it will be tasty.

I'm also supposed to go for cheesecake with a couple of co-workers next Tuesday. At this rate I'll be growing out of my new pants in no time.

Would also like to go to Green College for dinner sometime. If you're interested, let's make a plan.
