Thai, Poker and Spadina

I had a nice rainy weekend. Too bad it is over. Saturday was great! I woke up not too early nor late. Spent time with the cats and Demetrius and I just hung out indoors toking while listening to the rain fall. The afternoon came and I really had to call miren to arrange our chinatown adventure to prepare for our Poker/Thai Party. Thank god she was as lazy as I was and we decided to meet later on in the afternoon. Took the subway down to Spadina and jumped on the streetcar. I love riding the streetcar because I love to people watch, see what cool outfits my fellow urban junkies are wearing and am digging that people are starting to bike and skateboard again, Summer is almost here!!!

Miren brought me to this chinese grocer and I fell in love with the place. A bit smelly but the prices to die for! I always do my grocery in fancy grocers and organic shops, boy was I impressed with the smelly oriental grocer. Found the ingredients needed for the Thai line up. Galangal root, lime leaves, coconut milk , shrimp and lemongrass for the soup and we even got Lilys Peanut butter (Filipino brand) to make peanut sauce for the chicken satay. I love food shopping... I am too poor these days to shop for shoes. Next stop was Kensington market, Yeni had to pick up turkish coffee. Kensington market is my favourite place in downtown toronto. It is around chinatown but clearly has its own identity. It is full of vintage clothing, coffee and spice shops, independent book stores and the only place in downtown toronto where you can light a bowl/joint with a whole bunch of strangers Roach a Ramas very own Hot Box Cafe. They have excellent flax seed muffins and a good selection of organic teas.

Yeni and I went back to my uptown apartment and to our surprise Demetrius cleaned the kitchen, living and dining area. We started cooking and the boys arrived with the beers! Dinner was a success.... all four boys were completely stuffed! We ended up toking while watching Anchorman and Back to the Future at the same time. Afterwards we played Texas Hold em and I cleaned those boys out... I was quite happy! Its all Gone Pete Tong was playing in the movie network and we ended up watching the movie! I have seen that movie at least 15 times and have not gotten bored once. So that was my saturday night... I did forget to mention that we ran out of booze and raided Mirens condo for more while a certain person was driving under the influence of alot of things. All the Cops were out and about too, I swear, some people never learn!
