BATTLE OF THE WINGS

The residence, in all its glory. Artistically altered.

A student enjoying her wings. She wouldn't let me film, but a picture was ok.

Everybody waiting in line. Everyone HUNGRY for wings.

Appropriately themed decorations.

Nathan pointing out his wings on my plate. Doesn't that plate look so good?

AJ B-Day Fleetwood Bowling & Golf

2010-01-06T13:50:00.000-08:00

Fun in the Forrest City! It wasn't my birthday, but I did have a lot of fun.

Birthday Girl getting ready for a strike!

Rick has those pins lined up.

B-Day girl again gets ready to knock some pins while Brad and Rick watch on. My flash distracted her and she had a gutter ball. Whoops!

Oh ya, the Wing King is a Bowling Pro!

What you can't see is my thumb which is dying because all the balls thumb holes are too small.

I didn't put in the name, but it sticks where ever I go!

Now that bowling is done, lets go glo-golfing!

Giant shark - watch out! A roaring gorrilla - this place has it all.

Ferocious tiger. It too growled. Unfortunately the skill-testing tunnel under his feet do

not make any difference in getting closer to the hole.

Dinosaurs! Raptor vs buck toothed triceratops - who ya got?

Giant Fish Mural - Shark Bite - Gator Guard

What a fun night! Happy Birthday AJ!!!

Saunder's Farm Haunting Continued

2009-10-19T20:29:00.000-07:00

Pamphlet for the Farm. It runs all October long, but after Hallowe'en, it's all over! The night time is definitely busier than the day time for all the scares.

Map of Saunders Farm for the Night Activities. Highlights include:

Barn of Terror (a haunted house throughout a barn)
Field of Screams (outdoor haunted 'house' around a swamp) Very spooky!
Stage Shows (twiFright is the production, but we missed it)
aMAIZEing Corn Cannon
Haunted Hayride (my fave of the whole trip!)

Jack'o'Lanterns Carved and on Display.

The Haunted Pathway . . . ooooooooh! Watch out for 'scare-actors' roaming the park - they will get you . . .

Entrance to The Mile Maze.

I won't lie, we cheated in the maze and exiting.

The Middle - so close!

The Grapevine Maze, with trivia on Theseus. And grapes!

Another hedge maze.

And another hedge maze.

BUT BY NIGHT, SAUNDERS FARM TRANSFORMS INTO HELL's PLAYGROUND.

ADULTS ONLY

(I don't know if its adults only, but its waaay to scary for little ones)

The Haunted Hayride. This was a blast!

Here's a video on the Haunted Hayride:

The Hayride was awesome. Not only do you have the guys jumping out of the woods and some excellent displays and decorations, but half the fear comes from the tractor itself. The trailer you ride on is rickety, you sit on benches and there are no seat belts, and the tractor goes at top speeds, swinging around corners, through a flooded swamp. Your rocked around in the cold and I had to give it to the driver because one slip and it would be a REAL bloody mess. What a rush!

Blacklight decorations!

The Barn of Terror was fun too:

So was the Field of Screams:

Jack'o'lighterns?

Overall, this was a great early Hallowe'en outing. Dress warmly, it gets down right bitter. And bring cash. I also recommend getting advanced tickets to cut down costs. But do not, I repeat DO NOT get the VIP tickets for $40. I thought it was for two people, but it was per person, and the VIP access to parking and jumping lines would not have been worth it. Or the free drink.

Mothers Day Leftovers from Port Dover

2009-05-14T19:48:00.000-07:00

I mentioned double ice cream cones - here's an example above (only with gelato).

A mural depicting Port Dover back in the swinging sixties. Or the 50's. I don't know.

The lighthouse

Knechtals - fish and ice cream

Newbie restaurants on the block

This place to the left has always been there since I've been going, but have never been inside.

More newbies. There is no problem finding a place to eat.

Amusement area. Years ago there was a mini golf course where this parking lot is now. My father can remember other rides when he was young.

It reminds me of the news piece Kent Brockman did about the final ride on the merrygoround.

But this one will open in the summer again for $2 rides.

A Night at the Canadian Museum . . . of Nature . . . in the day

2009-04-06T19:33:00.001-07:00

Some photos from the Canadian Museum of Nature. More than 1/2 of the museum is closed for renovations until 2010. Even still, there were some interesting things to see:

I love vultures. They eat dead things you know. Like, dead when they found it. Kind of like people at the grocery store. And they are bald. Kind of like people at the grocery store.

I went up on the mountain range to check out these rams. They were pretending there was someone behind me so I would turn around. Turns out, there were people behind me.

Time for a Mexican Standoff. I didn't know there were Banthas on Hoth.

Staring down the Bantha. Caribou eat Bantha. Oh ya that's right, they are not vegetarians. Blood thirsty little buggers.

Awwww, momma bear is getting a Coke for her cub!!!

Actually, she's about to Freddy Krueger a baby seal, Canadian style.

Shhhhh. He hears something . . .

. . . oohhhhh, its a baby dinosaur. Wait what? This isn't Jurassic Park. Or is it?

That's what the National Research Council must be doing in Ottawa, cloning dinosaurs. I bet they make a wicked omelet.

Sorry Kirk Cameron, proof of evolution. There was a croco-duck.

Aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhh! T-Rexes mad at the lack of Buffalo Style Pterodactyl wings in the modern era. I would be too.

Run!!!!!!
(this looks like I photoshopped it, but this is real. There were trees INSIDE. Crazy.)

Rib Fajitas

2008-07-27T20:21:00.000-07:00

So you cook up a ton of ribs, but at the end of the night you have leftovers? Really? After eating ribs?

Ok, it can happen. It happened to me after I made THESE RIBS. So what to do? I made Rib Fajitas.

LOTW Rib Fajitas:
Ingredients

bbq ribs
tortillas
onions
red pepper
lemon/lime juice
Cheez Whiz or shredded cheese
AND/OR
sour cream
salsa
hot sauce
guacamole

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cut meat from BBQ'd Ribs
Chop onion, pepper
Stir fry meat and veggies on relatively high heat, add few dashes of lemon juice
Melt Cheez Whiz in microwave
When veggies are to your liking, add them and rib meat to tortilla
Add melted cheese, and any other condiment you wish
Wrap, enjoy!

Look at that meat and veggies cook

Two tortillas folded against each other to receive the stir fry mix and Cheez Whiz.

I also added Siracha hot sauce and a bit of ranch dressing.

It all comes together. Leftovers never tasted so good!

Torpedo steak sandwich - doesn't it just look so good?

It's hard for me to resist a pickle on a menu. Delicious Kosher
style pickle - perfectly tart, juicy - the perfect vegetable side.

Grilled Dragon Wing with Ghetto Sauce - charbroiled - look at

those grill marks!

Fries on the side - freshcut. Some were slightly over cooked, but nothing
some malt vinegar and ketchup couldn't fix.

Of course, they also have Acadian Cajun Spice for you to
sprinkly on - what a great extra at your table!!!

Dessert was a 'Real Ale Pie' or a sugar pie - it was

ok, but surprisingly unsweet. Ice cream was good though.

Great little patio out front.

Great old truck out front too.
