My dad and I were just hanging out the other day, and as always is the case with him, the conversation turned to food.
We cracked out a huge rack of baby back ribs from the freezer, and I swung by the little vietnamese grocery store by my house.
A few hours, later, we're sitting at the dinner table, staring at:
- Several pounds of BBQ'd baby back ribs marinated in Honey Garlic Diana sauce,
- Fried Spinach... I'm still awestruck at how so much spinach becomes so little in a frying pan,
- Grilled Portobello mushrooms,
- 3-layer guacamole with cheese and artichoke hearts, which we also ended up using in addition to sour cream on the baked potatoes,
- Baked potatoes, 
- Basmati rice, cooked properly, ie, soaked and drained several times, then placed in a pot - not a rice-cooker,
- A couple Sleeman Clear beers.
In totally unrelated news, I didn't go to the gym today.
Along with poutine and pasta, ribs have become another food that I think twice about before ordering at a restaurant, since few places manage to live up to how good they come out at home.

No problem.
Actually, Brett is the guy in charge of movl. I'll post this up on the movl blog though - though we haven't gotten around to really using the site yet.
Cheers,
