The less baking done in this hot and humid weather, the better!

After Teunis made a phone call about the States, we were off to get some more supplies and get rid of the monitors / TV. I left a message on Jon's phone to say that we'd get the arugula for tonight's BBQ. Spotted Hester outside, so talked to her about the mice: "Not even the experts in pest control can get rid of them right away! More glue boards! Make your own screen doors!" WTF?! While listening to a comedian on a radio show (anti-Canada rants, anyone?), we went totally the wrong way while looking for the Return-It Depot. Stopped by a Tim Horton's to ask directions - once we went the right way by the Canadian Tire, it looked vaguely familiar to him from a jaunt with Krista. I thanked him for doing this, and he said that it helped out, which is certainly true - yay for wheeled carts at the recycling depot so he didn't have to haul them by hand! Also discussed Leslie Road - Dave had told me that there was a road with my name on it; trust me, I know!

Failed to find arugula or pre-made pie shells at the Yaohan Supermarket, but did find grass jelly drink / coconut juice / his favorite kind of instant noodles. Stopped by the food court to get a couple of Chinese doughnuts (his treat), and told Teunis about the Curry House and their awesome fish balls. That only reminded me about the Committee Meetings we had at Yaohan in the food court, and that also reminds me to email Dylan (whom I'll see tonight) about the upcoming Committee Meeting this Monday, which I have now done. Discussed complimenting Chinese desserts as "not too sweet," the utter paucity of ethnic stores in Fort St. John's (only Save-On Foods, Sobey's, and Safeway), lemon meringue, a Japanese word meaning "useless junk," tomorrow's plans (wandering with Kailee / brother in Surrey / contact in Aldergrove / spare keys / Fellowship), staying here again when he gets back from the States, the Canada Line (busing with a gas mask?), fatal cigarette smoke, routers, and other things.

Went to Save-On Foods, where they DID have arugula / pre-made pie shells / DICK TRACY / a metal bowl (which I can use later, he says) to use in a double boiler with a pot / Cool Whip. Got home and discussed oranges, recipes, Celine Dion and twin boys, old myths about a twin being fathered by a lover, old steel-toed boots, cleaning out the car, Skype, eggs, heavy metal Mozart, Wagner, Romanian orchestras and choirs, pie filling, Therion, mixtures, ovens, graters, eggs, Kyle, juicing oranges by hand, apple pie, apples, potatoes, dishes, radio shows, crepes, lime sorbet vs. mint chocolate chip ice cream, and more. I got Megan's thank-you card and a tax credit cheque in the mail, too!


Spotted at Wah Yuen Noodle House in Yaohan Mall: "Chinese Vegertable Noodle Soup," "Assorted Beef Internal," and "Assorted Beef Internal Dry Noodle." HAHAHAHA!
