Ethnic Food!

News!!!! Indian restaurant opens in town, its called Chez-Riz, sounds french more than Indian but i guess, the owner thought he could identify better with the local population having a french name, after all who knows about India or Indian food in this white-collared,university/government town, actually its an Indo-Pak restaurant, owner being a pakistani i presume,,,, Anyway big thing for a small town, i decide to check it out on the first day, went to lunch with Tim, who is on his way to Harvard, i am sure he will find a lot more variety gastronomically in Boston compared to Fredericton. The decor is stereo-typical, waitresses are all caucasian, but the one thing that identifies any indian restaurant is the Indian behind the counter or at the cash,and the cook they have someone who is Indian with a Chef's hat on even if he/she cannot cook for nuts! back home they have food stalls which say Chinese Food the trademark being each stall will have one oriental looking guy, behind the counter with a Chefs hat on.Anyway back to the restaurant,they only had the buffet, no beverages other than coke/sprite either, their excuse was since it was the first day nothing was setup!!!!! duh why open then!, 6 dishes in all, the chicken was horrible, just coloured red and put a name tag on, which said Tandoori, the veggie dishes, trademark indian chick preas, were actually good which was the only bright spot of the visit!, on a scale of 1 to 10 i would give it a 4, well then again i am not a critic so there you go!!!!infact funny thing comes to mind, i am far from a food critic, i went to this Greek restaurant yesterday and had Italian food,pasta/chicken parmagina,,,,,, it was horrible,but then what was i thinking, Italian in a speciality greek restaurant!!!!!sometimes i wonder!! until next time!

Smoking Kills!

Cigarettes, smoke,, a clouded room sounds like a scene straight from a gangster movie maybe a 70's or an early 80's one, back then smoking was considered to be Cool with a capital "C", well maybe even today some people find it cool, but the truth of the matter is smoking Kills, thats with a capital "K", cigarette companies in Canada are being forced to put graphic pictures on every pack , some depict lungs, totally f@@@ up some,little kids with captions like "Dont poison us", are these actually working?, why do people smoke, i have had people give me reasons from, "cigs are a stress reliever man" to,"oh once in a while, when i am drinking, there's the urge to puff on something", and i have talked to people who are living with one foot in the grave to young kids who hang out, outside supermakrets, always on the look out for smokers who they can bum a cig off, these look like the same kids on the cig packs, the ones that say "dont poison us", apparently to them its Kool thats with a "K".Statistically speaking, smoking does cause a number of deaths, if not from the Tar or all the CO that is inhaled, then from starvation, the price of cigarettes are going up by the day and smokers rather would starve to death than give up smoking, as it is smoking kills your appetite, which is why diet conscious young women take up smoking, after all the have to maintain that figure!!!!!. Well altelast people in western countries are realising the fact that the cigarette does have some side effects, like maybe death!! but in many countries its a part of life, like this one example that comes to mind immediately, i was travelling with a good friend of mine, and we landed at this airport in a middle-eastern country and since neither of us spoke arabic and there were no signs in english for a smoking lounge and my good friend was desperately craving a cig we decided to ask a friendly security guard, but then he had no idea what we were talking about, so my friend pulls out a cig and imitates the puffiing action, and then the man lights up and he is like,ooo cigggaretttte, and we are like ya ya, so next thing he does is pull one out of his pocket and lights its up and starts smoking and goes, good cig, marlboro the best!!!! we get the point!,
Anyway, that was long blog, will write again later, time to go out for a smoke!!!!!

Too Cold@@

Too cold in here, the ac is just killing me!!!! i go out for a smoke its nice and warm out here, the security guard is like, you must be used to this weather, i am like,,,,, what theF@@@ people and their assumptions, granted i have an accent, more pronounced when i am drinking, and i am brown, but hey!!!! oh well, its like saying all canadians live in igloos,,,, back to my music, sinnerman by nina simone!!!!
