Tribute to 7/11

I was born and raised in the same house and one of my greatest childhood/adolescent memories is walking to 7/11 and getting slurpies. Whether it be in a scorching 30 plus summer day or a cold winter night, 7/11 walks were not uncommon. Last month, this 7/11 location shut down, it was tragic. I took a photo as I was driving and in a hurry so the photo isn't so good. It is the blank brown building behind the esso.

Summer Steeze

On Friday, the Seaman brothers and I went to the stampede on one of the 1st days this year. It was still early (just before noon), nothing was really going on and it was sunny so we pulled off the classic cliché: It's 5 o'clock somewhere, and hit the beer gardens. Featured in this photo is Jarrod and Oliver enjoying a cold beer on a hot sunny day. Steeze.

#1 favourite pickled food

Shallots are the bulb that grow at the base of green onions...I think. I only had them once in Montreal but they were awesome. Pickled shallots concludes the tribute to pickled foods. I couldn't find any in Edmonton or Calgary so I just put together some photos. Peep it.

3rd favourite pickled food

Third favourite pickled food is pickled peppers. There are ideal on subs and hamburgers but best on chicken burgers. Although this falls behind pickled asparagus, it was difficult to chose which was best. Stay tuned for the best pickled food in the world. Enjoy this photo of a chicken burger flooded in pickled peppers.

4th favourite pickled food

This pickled item complements most meat. You can eat it with beef, poulet which is chicken in french, pork, with crackers or if you love it that much you can eat it all by itself. Pickled four bean salad is my 4th favourite pickled food.

What pickled foods do you like?
