Time for lunch and this time it was McDonald’s the one on 32 Ave NE just next to Barlow trail in Calgary.
Lunch time is busy at this McDonald’s and so there is a bit of a wait for me to be helped but when I get to the front of the line my food is served quickly the service is not that great and a nice smile or kind word will not be given by the lady that helpes me.
It is a bit of a hassle to find the room for my ketchup and straw because that is where the line go’s so i need to make myself small to fit in.
There is lots of room at this McDonald’s and the area is kinda clean.
My Fish burger was as you can expect at McDonalds and so my meal is eaten with pleasure.
Not the best McDonald’s in town but still a worthy addition to my list of quick lunch places in Calgary.

Lunch today brought me to KFC close to the Deervalley Mall just on Bow Bottom Trail SE. I got here around 1 p.m. and I was the only customer in the store not much for a lunch rush I guess and that while the McDonalds next door is closed for renovations. And it seems not to be a thing that never happends because only one girl was there to do the work taking my order and preparing the food.
This KFC has an oldish look with lots of light woods and plastic boots it was clean and there was lots of place to sit.
My Classic Combo was good although the chicken burger could have used a little bit less greens it had more green then chicken.
So what is my verdict? I liked this KFC it’s not busy and that give me a peacefull lunch and the food was good. Service could be a bit better but still not to much to complain about.

A quick lunch was planned and McDonald’s Golden arch was visible so a stop was made for lunch.
When I enterd this McDonald’s that is just next to the main road in Okotoks I should have bin warned but NO i decided to go in any ways. It was busy very busy with mothers and children i guess because of the playplace that is connected to this McDonald’s but luckly behind a door that keeps the noice out.
Waiting in line doesn’t seem to matter much in Okotoks because people just go infront of you if nothing happend. When after 10 minutes or so it finally my turn to order it was clear to me the cook at this McDonald’s is just not quick enough compared to most McDonald’s restaurants. He would do great at Burger King or A&W but for McDonald’s no he is to slow and that results in lots of people waiting for there food.
Luckily the food was as you can expect at McDonald’s and that is a great things because if you are hungry you don’t want to experiment to much.
I guess next time this McDonald’s will be skiped at lunch time but any other time of the day I will keep it on the list for because the food is good and the ambiance is good to.

For lunch it was A&W and the one on 130 AVE SE in Calgary was the one that I didnt go to before so why not bring a quick visit and see how they do.
It was fairly busy at the A&W and I guess this location is great just on 130 AVE around all the shops and so close to Deerfoot trail.
The lady that helped me was new and my order of a Chubby Chicken burger meal was kinda difficult for the girl and she keep trying to give me a chicken meal and even the manger took a while to get it sorted out. Even me telling that i wanted meal nr 11 (as on the sign) didn’t make a big difference. I also noticed that the same girl messed up some more orders but a well you need to learn some where and we are allowed all to make mistakes.
The ambiance at A&W is mostly nice and so also here nice colors fresh tables and fairly clean. Although the Washrooms could use a bit more attention.
Nothing to complain about the food. My Chicken burger was good the piece of salade on it was fresh and the bun was great.
My final verdict will be that this A&W stays on my list of restaurant for when i am in this area.

The Friendly people from Gillette send me an email about a coupon for 10 dollars discount for a Gillette Fusion Razor (just go to the Gillette website for the coupon) so I found a store that sold them for less then 10 dollars and so now I own one of those Razors with a battery in it.
I am fairly new with shaving wet but the last weeks I was using a Gillette Mach 3 Turbo razor and that did a pretty ok job.
And now with the new Fusion things should be better so lets test it.
The big difference between the Mach 3 Turbo and the Fusion is the amount of blades the Mach 3 has 3 and the Fusion has 5.
I really wondered how the Fusion Power would work and this morning i gave myself a nice shave. Normally i get ok smooth but there I always feel rough but today with the Fusion Power I can say that i am Smooth smoother then i have bin for a long while.
I guess the conclusion should be that the Fusion Power works better then the old Mach 3 Turbo i have to say Good Job Gillette. Now I am on the lookout for a good deal on a normal fusion so that i can compare that to because do I really need to have a battery in my manual razor?

If like me you travel around a lot for work and are always looking for a pen to write with then maybe go have a look at the Dollarama dollar stores there they sometimes sell a pack of 3 pens that you can easily clip on for instance your buckle loop. They are a great deal you get 3 pens for just a dollar.
The pens write great and don’t leak. There is one week spot on them and that is the black line on the pen where the part come together. Till now one of my pens broke loose on that spot with the result that the parts fly everywhere.
So if you are looking for a small and easy pen that can travel around with you then go have a look at the Studio pens from Dollarama.

Snow Falling on Cedars is a novel by David Guterson. This book for me is strange and it jumps around from a court case to events that happend in the lives of some of the characters in the book.
There is a lot of strawberries, fish, fhishing, farming, war and Japanese in this book and all makes a little bit more sence after reading it but still I think if i could travel back in time i would skip this book from my list of books to read.
It is not bad but there are a lot of books out there with a much better story to tell.

Today lunch brought me to McDonald’s and this time I visited the one in the Wal-Mart that is connected to the Malborough Mall in the NE of Calgary. Like most McDonald’s in Wal-Mart they are not big but still can seat a fair bit of people and this McDonald’s and they need that because it was pretty busy here at lunch.
Unfortunately the Wal-Mart McDonald’s don’t offer the complete menu and in this case it meant no Fish burger or Angus burger for me and those are my two favorites. So today it became a Mc Chicken and it tasted great.
The service was quick and even thought it was busy in the lunch rush I didn’t get the feeling that the personal was stressed about it and that is different from most food places at this time of day.
So my verdict for this McDonald’s is good and I will definitly stop by again if I am in the neighborhood and in need of some quick food.

27 Dresses a movie about a girl that can’t say NO and ends up being a bridsmade at 27 weddings and not even getting close to get married her self. Of course she is all in love with her boss but he doesn’t know that.
The plot of the movie is nice but brought to the big screen in an awfull way the movie is long and really is not funny at all. I would class this movie in the group of worst movies ever and i can only hope that they never make a sequel of it.
My advice if you want to watch a funny movie that you can laugh about then don’t see this one. Stay away from 27 Dresses it is a complete wast of time!

Today lunch brought me to the restaurant in the Zellers in Sunridge Mall.
Zellers made an nice effort to make the restaurant look nice with nice boots and a 60’s dinner kinda look. The total ambiance is nice even though you are sitting in a department store.
The staff was nice and very well prepared for their task and our orders where taken quickly and the drink serverd quick as well.
For the food to arrive it was a bit longer but within reasonalble time from ordering.
I got fish and chips and as they should it came with Tartar sauce a bit of a disapointment was that they just give you one little prepacked container like you see for jams in hotels and breakfast places and to me that seems a bit little.
The Fish and chips where prepared well and probably better then you get them in lots of restaurants.
Lets end this review up with saying Zellers did a great job with this restaurant and i was positively supriced how well they did and how good the food was.
The Zellers restaurant will be on my list of lunch possibilities from now on.
