Ridonckulousness! (Oh no you di'int?!) (21)

Enter and risk your life.

Toronto Golfer's Not So Ultimate List. (15)

This is pretty much the list of places you'll find me during the weekends.  Whether it's the driving range or a round of golf, bring your clubs and your swing.  

Note: I'm a mid-high handicapper and am just not as picky as serious low handicappers.  As a weekend duffer, as long as the conditions aren't horrible, or the course is not so poorly designed (i.e. having balls land near you at the tee box) I'm okay with it.

Be FORE warned, it's an addictive sport.

Chinese BBQ (6)

Places to get your roasted pork, chicken, duck, some char-sui marinated pork, and if you're lucky a bunch of other items like bung (?!?!) fried smelt/ talapia or tofu.

I seriously couldn't go more than a month without some Chinese BBQ.  It practically cost me a relationship when someone wanted to turn vegan after seeing a whole roasted pig hung up.  You know who I chose to stick by.. yes the piggy.
