A la St. John

Best meal ever. Raw oysters to start. Followed by roasted veal bone marrow on toast. Organic sea salt, parley, capers and shallots with a lemon vinaigrette on top. I think Mr. Kent said it the best, "it's like butter made out of beef!" Bottle of Prince Philippe Bourgogne Aligoté to drink. Unexpectedly, Shucking oysters is the easiest most overrated thing I have yet to do.


This recipe is stolen from a staple dish at St. John Restaurant in London. It is widely available online, but Fergus also has an excellent book out with this dish and many more of equal awesomeness inside. Shitty presentation, I know. I don't have any good plates in Montreal yet, and our table is very late 80's early 90's throwaway.

Bike Build

Needed a bike for MTL. Get healthy, don't pay Metro fare etc. Got what you see here for $50. Very solid frame, fairly light, and a surprisingly nice DIY paintjob.


Finding cheap wheels was another issue, thankfully I had these gems in Calgary. 27" on what should be a 700c frame. Seemed to work out.Just worked out. Really happy with the way this looks
Chiseled off the inner chain ring to I wouldn't have to space my crankset. Definitely cleaned up the whole look of the bike!
I don't have a finished pic because its dark out now, but I'm sure you all get the idea. Overall really happy. I went single speed and am able to tackle most hills on my route. Feel way healthier with the amount of riding I'm doing, and am even continplating riding this winter!
