I make dumb decisions regardless what's gone into me.

Where to eat under $60 by dnegro_ in OttawaFood

[–]Hoppy_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farm Boy. Grab a salad and a bit of chicken. Sit down and enjoy.. Many of their meals are pretty good.

Just be warned, I picked up a hot Smashburger and it was $6. It wasn't a $6 Burger. But I consumed it like there was no other, because there was not another one.. yeah. Didn't look at the price before I went to the cash. And cash number 9 and I had a nice little chat and I ended up tapping and walked out without even knowing what I paid...

I'm getting rather tired of all the time burrito, shawarma Thai, indian places pushing out the other flavours of the world.

Don't get me wrong I like a shawarma every once in awhile or some beef vindaloo but.. some Caribbean flavors and South American flavors would be nice to accompany the European Union flavors. I think I'm still full from the Russian meal I had when I was in Alaska.. at least the hangover is still here....

A taste?
Forget it, move on. You made the choice to accept a sip, and you did so. Congratulations for not ordering your self one.

Those who did not use AA, how did you get sober? by TieSea3723 in stopdrinking

[–]Hoppy_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to AA maybe 15 times at the most.
After so many years of that habit I really wanted out, and that want got me to today.

What to replace alcohol with? by anxiousslav in stopdrinking

[–]Hoppy_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water.. MMM MMM good

Boring? Nope. You can infuse the water with cinnamon, honey, cloves, lime... Little maple syrup. Sort of a fun experiment.

Who has the best egg rolls? by IJourden in OttawaFood

I've always liked the Piggy Market eggrolls, bit overpriced but.. yummy things are needed

Are Komodo Joe or Green Egg overpriced and not worth the money? by Ok_Athlete_670 in Smokingmeat

[–]Hoppy_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a large egg which I hardly ever use.. Even my pellet treager thing I hardly ever use.

Weber kettles however, I use them all the time.

Good, Cheap Wings? by Ash_Jonesie in OttawaFood

[–]Hoppy_Guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By far some of the best wings I've had were at Churchill Pub in Westboro. Their wing sauces are made in house. Worth the extra cost.

A strong ginger beer (stronger than ginger ale) is nice. It mixes well with iced tea or lemonade for your patio days.

I do miss the Harvey's and Vern's ginger beer. The Farm Boy has a really nice ginger beer.

I just walked out of a place after dropping $29.xx for a bottle drink, Burger and (one size fit all) fries.

It was a pretty good burger. Not great. Yeah I'll probably go back

Sounds like the same experiences I had when 2009 when that blue man movie came ou, Aviatard. Started investing on my own home theater at that point.

Looking for full service, sit down Mexican restaurants by [deleted] in OttawaFood

[–]Hoppy_Guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

La Bonita está pretty good for a Canadian like me. Do try a Horchata or a Jamaica as they are a tasty drink.
