FOOD CRITIC

    Nothin fancy here, but if your ever in Edmonton AB., a great restaurant if you like Italian is the "Tasty Tomato". Upon arriving with my mother to try this place for the first time, we were greeted with a free glass of wine while we waited for a table. It was obvious that others in line with us were regular customers. I'm used to fast food places but the gourmet food network on TV made me decide to try the upscale places. lol.
    The food was fantastic! I had only the spaghetti and meat sauce with Tiramasu for dessert, but I was hooked on this place! I cannot ever eat at another fast food place again! I found a new hobby just when I need to diet the most lol.
     They even sell the sauce in sealed jars still warm! You know its made fresh that day and was told they use no preservatives. I had to use it up in three days, I had no problem doing that! Great place, check it out!

MORE GEAR GRINDING

I wish I could believe I'm saving the world by stating the obvious but, nothing ever seems to be done to fix them. Maybe I'm a grumpy old man looking to complain about anything but wouldn't this world be better off if society had some common morales? Maybe some common courtesy also? What a different world this would be! Something that drives me nuts that has become common place nowadays is the dumpster divers.
   I understand there will always be the poor people looking for ways to survive but I live in a city with plenty of jobs for people that can work. These people I see digging thru my garbage, I seriously doubt they are trying to make money for food or other nescessities. They are dressed too well, and some are driving cars or pickups to load up. I think they are lazy people not wanting to work a real job. These creepy people going thru MY garbage should be against the law. Its a health hazard. I believe they are looking for drug money or to buy booze. Some others are trying to get rich the easy way lol. I feel I have no freedom or privacy when I see these people hovering nearby when I throw about my garbage. This should stop.
   Next, the drivers in Edmonton are nuts or on drugs. Over the years they have become ill mannered discourteous morons. They don't signal turns or lane changes. In winter you need plenty of warning if you have trouble stopping. I had one moron turn onto the road I was driving, cutting me off, having to slow down from 55KMpH to 30KpH without any warning. He could easily let me go by first, nobody behind me. This jerk waits till the very last second to jump in front of me. I decide to change lanes and go by him. No such luck, this guy decides to cut me off again! I return to the lane I'm originally driving and go past him, thinking he's on drugs. This nut follows me, several turns, tries to go by me again nearly cutting me off from my turn. The punch line?...I cut him off first so I can make my turn. He drives beside me, rolls down his window and asks what my problem is! He claims I'm a speed demon driving too fast, I should slow down! I'm driving a little under the legal limit. This nuts driving 20KM under the limit. People like this should be shot!..LOL You hear about road rage, its because of THESE GUYS!
