A couple of Fishies and myself met up on Saturday to do what we do best… FOODING! A majority of us had similar items because we split up to get food for others… some of the sample dishes we had were shrimp and mussels salad (from some french stand), seafood coconut stew (rielish), pulled pork sandwich - ribs were sold out (memphis mike’s bbq), lambchop in pesto and a slice of brownie (O’douls), chicken satay with coconut rice (satu sate), and a halibut thingy.

This is the first year that I’ve attended this event and possibly the last year as well. The crowd and the line-ups did not help me enjoy the time there…! I felt like I had to multi-task while eating and fight the crowd or avoid ppl spilling food on you… but overall, it was fun because of the great company. WHEEEEEE!

DaCoach wasn’t too happy with the halfway finish in the first race at Harrison, so he beat me with a paddle afterwards. Photos from Harrison are here.

Swordfish decided to break free of the “fried chicken” and heavy grease mold (no chicken because Ben didn’t come!) and have a *gasp* HEALTHY meal gathering which started out quite nicely until Grant showed up with cheesecake (which for the sake of the team, I did not have)  and Jen with chocolate-dipped strawberries (which for the sake of myself, I had plenty). Purpose was to load up on carbs so paddlers have something to burn while paddling SUPERHARD on Saturday! There were lots of crazy moments (er, Mentos and Coke?), and heavy eating as usual (well, for the RIGHT side paddlers only, so no more food for Grant!).

Captain gone crazy; Ed’s baked salmon; salads and lots of veggies

Steph gone mad as well; Ed looks ‘innocent’… oh, the horror!

Choco-dipped strawberries… expressions said it all.

We eat healthy too! Jen and her cheesecake.

The Patch, classy as always. Darren’s food orgasm had just begun. Ooh!

The real Juggernaut; hey, don’t lose the other eye, ok?; Dave blows his load.

Swordfish’s Next Top Model. Jen has her modelling pose down pat!

All in all, it was a fun night with great food, great entertainment (our entertainment budget only allows 2 bottles of Diet Coke and 2 rolls of Mentos, ON SALE), and great company. Now that the fun’s over, it’s time to kick some ass this weekend (like Ed’s standards, any ass will do) and HAVE FUN!
