Daniel Cook, Stripe and meat floss

Daniel and Ruth


TVO sent Ruth a DVD with her This Is Daniel Cook episode, so we got to watch it last night. To my surprise, Daniel seems like a pretty normal kid.

Here's Daniel with Stripe:

And I love the fact that they listed "'Stripe' - The Guinea Pig" in the credits at the end of the show:

You can check out when This Is Daniel Cook is airing in your area here.

I took a break from work yesterday to have dim sum at Asian Legend with Jeff, Parki and Ray. Among other items, we ordered Meat Floss! See Ray's photo below:



The anticipation outweighed the actual experience; I found the Meat Floss to be a bit too dry for my tastes, reminding me of flavoured shredded wood.

After brunch, we visited the Pacific Mall, North America's largest indoor Asian mall and browsed the shops; I especially enjoyed seeing the wide variety of snack foods available...where else would I be able to find "Varied Cow Organ," for example?

Varied Cow Orgon?


Unusual snacks


And a survey: if you were to choose ONE item from the menus above, what would it be?
