Who's a Fat Bastard - Teriyaki Chicken Comfort Food

August 26, 2014

     She's gone. Just like that. Eight weeks of basking in the glow that is Clarissa, and now my life is a little less sunny. 

Leaving on a jet plane

She is sweet, smart and funny. She was so good with Bella and Christo, patient and caring. Her smile just lit me up.

Always stylish

     She had a rough go of things when she was younger but is in a stable environment now. She and her sister Jenna are living with their fathers parents in Toronto. 

     We had a lot of fun while she was here. We went to the fireworks at English Bay.

     Couldn't keep her out of the water. The pool at our house,Splashdown Water Slides or Buntzen Lake! Definitely a water baby!

We had a few parties and a lot of laughs.

Too Cool

We love her and we miss her already. Here's a song I wrote for her, it took eight years. I wrote the chorus when she was born but I was never able to put words to the verses. That is until I was told she was coming out last year. Just me and my guitar recorded on my camera this afternoon.

     On my way home from the airport I stopped to see Lisa. They were working at Hastings and Nanaimo. Hey, that's were Tentatsu my favourite Japanese restaurant is. I was feeling a little sad and I thought a little visit with the Lovely Lisa and a nice Japanese lunch would cheer me up. I parked the car and walked across the street to the Truffles truck. I love it when Lisa smiles at me. I only stayed a couple of minutes. Stole a couple of kisses and went to lunch.

Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Karage, Sumonomo and salad

       The dogs had been in the house alone since 8am it was now after 3pm. They can get out onto the front deck if they need to. One day in a row doesn't impress anyone. After I let the dogs out. How much pee can a five pound dog hold? He was a solid fifteen seconds. I leave the door open for them to come in and out. Elvis usually comes down stairs when I work out.
     I start with 1000 Four stair stretches. This is the easiest exercise I do and I was really feeling it by the end.

200 one stair steps. I was dripping wet before I even started.

180 Belly Crunches. By the time I was at 160, I was hoping to pull a muscle! So I could stop! No such luck.

Another episode of Suits while riding the Iron Maiden.

All in all a good workout. Gets the heart rate up and the juices flowing.

Juicy

After I had a shower. I took Momma Lee a replacement fan to replace the one that stopped working. She has the worst luck with electronics.
     I made a couple of burgers and a salad for dinner.

After dinner I did the video of the song  Clarissa. Lisa came home, had a shower and went to bed. I should follow her. It's been a long day and a sad one as well. I'll see her again soon, she has skype on her tablet.

At the Terry Fox Memorial

That's all I got.
Till next time.
Peace Out Y'all
