Moose McGuire’s, Calgary

Moose mcguires close to the foothills hospital and Mcman Stadium

Moose McGuires is a nice looking pub with some pool tables and lots and lots of TVs to watch sports on. The ambiance at Mooses is nice with high tables and low tables but the music is a bit loud so not a great place to go if you want to have a great conversation.

This Pub is easy to find it is just two block down from McMahon Stadium at a little strip mall next to highway 1 where there is also a “The Keg” and a “Wendy’s” there address is 1941 Uxbridge Dr NW.

In summer this place is extra nice when the outside patio is open and you can enjoy the sun and nice weather of Calgary.

In general the service at Moose McGuire’s is great the girls that serve you take good care and normally you don’t have to ask for anything.

The Menu is nice and has some great option on it like the GIANT Nachos and don’t even try to eat that on you own.

At my last visit I got myself fish and chips and they weren’t bad although they seem to have more bather then fish :) but it tasted great. I could not finish my portion so i asked it to go and because my tarter sauce was served in a small plastic (one time use) cup i asked if they could give me the tarted sauce to and they did but not in the cup the sauce just ended up loose in the box making the food in to a big mess and as a result big parts of it needed to be thrown out because of the mess.

In general Mooses is a nice place to go. At lunch time the place can be packed but don’t worry your order still comes quick and you will be taken care of.

IKEA Hajdeby Dish Rack

Ikea dish rack made by Creative ware

If you like me don’t own a Dish washing machine then you do the dirty dishes by hand and i am lazy so i don’t dry them myself but let mother nature do that. So what are the 3 mayor problems with a dish rack?

Ok let me tell you:

  1. The are always in the way
  2. The make the counter space to wet
  3. The can be to small sometimes.

So now we know what the perfect dish rack should offer and I think i found one that does to.

At my visit to IKEA one day I found a nice looking plastic dish rack that offers enough space for myself and has the option to grow when i have lots of dirty dishes (look at the pictures) you can just slide it out even when it is fully loaded and that makes it extremely handy. And because normally it is so small it doesn’t take up to much of my counter space either. And then there is the point of wet counters from the dripping water also this problem is solved by this cool looking rack it has a small spout on the front that sticks out a bit and if you just let it hang over in to the sink then you counter stays dry perfectly.

The Hajdeby Rack is simple but offers everything i need it has a tree pocket basket on the end for my utensils and it is also removable so that it is easy to clean.
The IKEA Hajdeby dish rack but it is made by CreativeWare and if I where you I would put one on you shopping list
