The Pink Tax
I have a great new item to review and this is a super overpriced chocolate bar. I bought this at Sobey’s for $2.99. It is the Pink Cocoa Kit Kat bar. This bar was a little bit smaller than the typical flavoured Kit Kat bars. It was a weird shade of pink to make it…
Off on the Epic, the Dancing King
Okay, the Epic titles and making reference to epic things may be getting old at this point but trust me there will be more and they will be epically cliche. Upon boarding the ship, it was luck time so I headed to the buffet as usual and sampled a bit of everything. Apparently, the buffet…
A Disappointment with an Italian Name
Tonight, I’ve experienced the $1.49 special Tim Hortons take on a Tiramisu style donut. My opinion is that it is the biggest disappointment I have ever seen. The traditional tiramisu has 2 distinguishing characteristics that any cake and variations of it are basically the same, and experience of heaven. The name itself means ”pick me…
Russell Stover Cookie Dough Confection
This is the first of an eight-part weekly series that I am going to try out unusual foods and review them. This week’s item is from Russel Stover Cookie Dough in Milk Chocolate. It was about a dollar from Giant Tiger. It consists of one 28g piece of candy. Nutritionally it was (past tense since…

MoCo Downtown– The Best Italian Style Restaurant in New Brunswick
The following is a repost of my review for MoCo Downtown that appears on TripAdvisor. I was there for the first time on Saturday and I was floored by how wonderful this gem of a place was. I ordered the Sussex Sausage Risotto and for a side paired it with the Sliced Brussel Sprout with…
Home and Escape
I’m going to move the story along and will in the future write more hallucination stories. Once it was determined that I was going to go home, the nurse told me and I wanted to bad to leave Brampton. Mostly because I believed that the whole town wanted to kill me in the riots. I…
Arrivederci Roma, and The Life That Was
This post also has a soundtrack. The André Rieu version of Arrivederci Roma. It is September 24th, as we left for the sightseeing of Rome. I was a bit worried to go out on the street. There was a long protest going down the street for the freedom and recognition of a people in a…
All Aboard for the Journey to Roma
As the story starts to get more dramatic we need to get into the mood. I have a fitting sound track for this portion. “Walk to Rialto Bridge” This is the final day September 23rd before things start to go bad. The morning is sunny. We check out of Hotel Park in Ljubljana. Since the…
Off To The Death Camps
Sundays are typically good quiet days to reflect on the week that has passed. It is now September 18th. We are leaving Vienna, and for the first time in weeks, I am not hung over. After a decent but shorter ride we arrive at Olympia Olomouc mall in the Czech Republic and there is a…
And It Peaked…
“Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true. When will you realize… Vienna waits for you?” –Billy Joel This is truly a special city. One does not really understand Europe without Vienna. This was the first of the several cities that were new to me on the Contiki tour. I was starting to feel…
Twenty-Four Thousand Four Hundred And Fifty-Five
This is not a random number, it is a big one, but not random. I woke up on the morning of September 2nd, 2016 full of energy and excited as hell. I was about to embark on the most epic trip to date. I thought to myself this is one trip that I will never…
S’more Oreo Cookies
Today I went to Wal-Mart to buy some clothes and decided to reward myself with a pack of cookies. I had 4 of them and then I must have blacked out because the next time I went to look at the bag there was only 2 of twenty left. That made me sad. So I…
A Cheezy Post
Today I went to the local grocery store and wanted to try a new cheese. I decided on the Mango Ginger flavoured White Stilton cheese. I only got a small block because you never know with unknown cheeses if you will like them. I brought it home and unwrapped the plastic wrapping and placed it…
Voyage to the Caribbean Part 2 (Fatty should lose some weight)
While we left off on the last post I had arrived to San Juan but had no luggage as at this point it was still in Toronto. I got up later about 8am showered and went to the free continental breakfast buffet at the San Juan Airport Hotel. It was not the greatest of breakfasts…
More Christmas Foods that Need to Die
After my last article I decided to review a few more items to see it there was something that could top the last two atrocities. Guess what! I found them. First on the list is Soy Wonderful Noël Nog. This was thicker than the Almond version but had a very bad after taste. In addition…
The Two Festive Items So Wrong It Could Ruin Christmas.
Why yes folks now that Hallowe’en is over and Remembrance Day is soon to be forgotten, it is now the season that is supposed to bring the sparkle in every little child’s eye. Like most good things that are once good and holy bring out the worst in those that try to modernize and monetize…
Alcohol and Chocolate Free September
Hello everyone! Just a quick post today and the first of many more. I have seemed to get out of my slump from the past two years and have been trying new things. On the fitness side of things the summer has been very non-structured and I have been eating in moderation a little bit…
