Season with paprinka, salt and pepper ..... turn grill to high .......Wait till grill is at 450-500 degrees .........Put wings on BBQ .........Turn down temperature to medium heat...Close BBQ. Put BBQ sauce in bowl. Come back in a few minutes, Turn wings over ....Toss wings in BBQ sauce bowl. Put back on for a couple more minutes and presto, you have awesome BBQ wings.

Real wings are BBQ not fried ... BBQ wings at restaurants are fried wings with BBQ sauce.

opps, i forgot step 1, get a house in the suburbs ...

  

Some granny hit my car in a shopping centre parking lot. Then drives away. I chase her down and tell her she just hit my car. The granny said no she didn't and after two confrontations just did a hit and run. Awesome ... when grannies are hitting and running we know how society is.

Ironically, she was driving a beige Toronto Corolla which I blogged about in a previous suburb blog ... (everyone in the suburbs has one of these) I guess it was karma a beige Toyoto Corolla hit me and run away.. 

I tried to be sweet to the granny but when someone hits your car and uses the excuse someone hit me last year dented me last year and I didn't report it.

Toronto Collision Centres are goverment master pieces of logistics and how to organize an office. Its a wonderful place to go ... make sure to go before 3pm
and after lunch otherwise you could be stuck there for a week or two.

In an ironic moment, I drove to the handcapped spot she went to and as we were talking to security and everyone, this 25 year old girl starts yelling at me to move my car as it is blocking her "handicapped spot". She certainly didn't look handicapped other than her attitude but I wasn't about to test it out in front of
half a dozen people. Yelling at a real handicapped person despite her lack of handicappness while raising your voice at a granny wouldn't look politically correct in any context.

Attention to the "handicapped" person - you are very lucky I didn't do a jackhammer your car like George's parents in Seinfeld

Attention to the granny - Speechless

Awesome song ... I think I might sing this at my wedding.

Just at a suburban Lululemon and girls who shop here think is like working out ..

Dear LL customer,

Shopping at Lulelemon doesn't mean you are working out.

I just found out a new route to the subway that takes me less than 10 minutes by foot. Pretty incredible for the suburbs ... I know I know .. everyone in the suburbs "underestimates" the commuting time .. "It only takes me 30 minutes" to work phenomenon ... even in Yorkville, it takes 30 minutes to the financial district. Anyways, I am either really smart or really incompetent as I just realized this new route cutting through this school to the subway station ... took me about 8 minutes or about 2 minutes in suburban time format.



I live in the house in row 4 column 10 ... the one with the hybrid vehicle in front.

Worst movie ever ... you know a romantic movie is horrible when a girl says halfway through it ... this movie is terrible, two thumbs down and then goes washes her face and I'm writing my blog along while watching the last half of it ....

A panda walks into a bar, sits down and orders a sandwich. He eats, pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter dead. As the panda stands up to go, the bartender shouts, "Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for the food." The panda yells back, "Hey, man, I'm a panda. Look it up!" The bartender opens his dictionary to panda: "A tree-climbing mammal of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves."

  This is an advertisement for drugs. He does look pretty good on crack.

I am so egotistical.

I just wanted to get more hits today on my blog.

holysh*t

the conclusion of the story is we got the tourist visa yesterday - thanks for the help of a sweet blog reader who offered but it wasn't needed -

All it took was 2 M.P letters, one from Toronto, one from Calgary, a lawyer and some great letters written by the arguably one of the greatest blog writers in the suburbs ...

I was going to stuff the application with lots of yuans (dollar bills) to test an experiment but it probably wasn't the best time to experiment.

Weddings are crazy ....

Did I tell the bride's family was rejected to come to the wedding by immigration. Ridiculous.

It was right out of Wedding SOS episode but the bride's parents were rejected for a tourist visa. What the uck ! With less than a month to go till the wedding .... That a Wedding SOS or True Life Weddings where the Jersey guy threatens to skin the limo's throat like a fish b/c he is running late for his wedding.

Anyways, the application said DO NOT APPLY AGAIN UNLESS YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE CHANGED SUBSTANTIALLY.

uck me ... nothing has changed except the wedding now will be alot different . Does that count?

apparently, we were getting lumped into the millions of other chinese people trying to get tourist visas unfortunately for us, a majority of these people are planning to stay permanently (as this immigration process is long so they get tourist visa and stay)

needless to say I was alittle p*ssed and frustated  ...

we had a few unfortunate choices - either reapply for only one parent (since if the other parent stays, the likelihood of the other coming back according to immigration officials is much higher or thats what the private immigration companies say ...)

apply for both using basically the same application and praying that they will change their mind

either way, it was going to be a uphill battle under a immense time constraint .. government offices take along time to process this stuff and we only had one month till the wedding and documents had to be all couriered back to China ... uck me..

So the last couple of weeks, I have been preparing letters and documents to visa application.

To be continued ......................

the big wedding debate - chicken or beef?  very similar to airlines of the 1980s, there is always a big debate about whether to serve chicken or beef ....

chicken - everyone eats chicken is the main argument for serving chicken at a wedding

beef - everyone eats beef but typically beef needs to be medium rare in order to be eatable

I just researched it and came across CHICKEN OR BEEF, NEITHER, THANK YOU in New York magazine about how you need to be more inspired with your menu ... sounds good in theory but you want people to eat at your wedding ...

I guess the only compromise is chicken fried steak to appease everybody in wedding land .. since its part chicken part steak and no one really knows which one it is ..... this would be the WOW factor of all weddings. The end.

Solid thriller and almost makes you want to live in the suburbs ...

Make it a Blockbuster nite ... pretty ordinary and if you seen the trailor, you have seen the movie.

I messed up a steak .... I cooked some flank steak and it was pretty awful for a dinner party of 10 plus. I feel very ashamed ... a couple of reason - too low heat - too rare and too tough -

Flank steak is affordable and a good idea for a large party but I made a mistake - I cut with the grain when serving it. Never ever cut with the grain for a flank steak - cut against the grain ...!

Although my filet mignon steak skewers made up for the bad flank cooking ...

My steak cooking only applies to filets, tbones, ribeyes and striploins. I have no idea how to cook other steaks. I still have a couple pounds of flank steak to attest for this ....

* flank steak is the steak that looks like flat steak that has lines through it
