Peanut Cookie

The disgusting, nasty, redneck previous owner of the property didn't live any of the appliances manual for me. I really wanted to use the oven of the electric range but didn't want to cause any damage. So I decided to ask the neighbour who seems a nice lady and we once have talked. I heard noises from her place one day and I realized he was moving stuff around in the balcony. I asked her from my side if I she thought our appliances were the same. She did not think so but agreed to lend me her range's manual. I quickly took a look and found the document and returned the original to the neighbour.

That's when I baked the Peanut Cookies. But then I thought to myself: If a Peanut Cookie, according to Kraft, is simply made of Peanut Butter, Brown Sugar and Egg, why don't I eat it the way their are mixed, without baking?! I mean we all eat the three ingredients, some on daily basis. Don't we? In that case I not only save electricity but can enjoy a sort of raw food!

Anyways the result was not bad. I think I just have to bake less, if I'm baking it at all. I will give a few to the neighbour lady as she said that she would look into anything that I may bake and of course a number for Mom and Farzin. I stopped eating Butter years ago perhaps 15 years ago or more and switched to Peanut Butter because a good Peanut Butter, not a disgusting once which is made by No Name or other fraudulent, disgusting, commercialized retailers, has no Cholesterol and even has good Protein. This was something never known in the old country and I'm happy to enjoy that. At times, at work, two teaspoons of Peanut Butter and I'm good to go for another 2 hours. 

However because of what I wrote above, I think, I would bake other things in my oven rather than Peanut Cookie. I would go for Pizza, Pita and even Subway Bread.

The People of Thanksgiving

I don't think I've done anything in any recent Thanksgivings but the other day I was sitting at home and I received a text message. I was surprised as who would send me a message at this time of the day, shortly after I had come back from work. I looked at the phone and it was my realtor! Why would she send me a message, was the first question that came to my mind! We are done, although she helped me a few times after I moved in. A Caucasian woman, especially a married one has nothing to do with me! They mostly, majority hate people like me but her message indicated that she had me in mind in the Thanksgiving and thanked me and added that she had dropped something at my door! 

I went down and I saw a box from Cobs Bread! I don't eat stuff like that because it's full of sugar but I thanked her and she responded by saying that we would visit! 

I know that's not what you might think but I don't know what that means. I wanted to give her something and I will but this box will be taken to work and will be given to some office people who were nice to me and offered me food last week. I'm sure it will have a good impact.

Raja Food

Lazy Ass called me after 2 months a couple of weeks ago. He usually calls when he's lonely and by that I mean he has no gf! He once had a married(!) Mexican girl as his gf and according to him they were in love but they have broken up several time. That girl actually was the reason he was thrown out of the house. Then he was with other girls while now he lives in a basement. I don't mind visiting him because it's always fun! We talk about here and there and we laugh. The other night he, as usual, took me to a place to eat but considering he's out of work, we paid separately. It's strange for me to see and understand someone with no job, no nice place to live, no plan for the future, no education, no support and no direction in life and in debt to be able to chase girls and women or lie down on his bed and watch a movie on a big screen TV, which he has purchased recently, by the way, I think it's 55"(!) but some might see that's the age. He's no longer a teenage. He must be 25 or older and has none of the above and seem it doesn't bother him, at least now! 

Anyways he took me to this sort of bistro/cafe/bar place called Raja Food! 

Load Western music was being played and colourfull lights were blinking while I saw Hookah on the tables! There was no one in the place but the guy, apparently a Pakistani, was expecting us because Lazy Ass had called him and had even ordered our meals. We later learnt that he usually closes at 09:00 PM and that was why the place was empty, according to him. He just kept it open for us! 

You imagine a so-called bar where no alcohol is served(!) but Hookah is available! Then load Western music is played in a way that you can not hear your companion and have to scream! Flashing lights are seen in different colours and it feels that you're in a disco and a beard guy with thick East Indian accent and dark teeth, possibly from smoking Hookah(!), serves you East Indian food! That was the environment!

I realized, as soon as the food was delivered that Lazy Ass was passionately

This is how the place look like where they are trying to do, hopefully, some cleaning and sanitizing before its closure

exchanging messages with someone. That was the Mexican girl apparently. He is trying to get her back and she refuses! While I was enjoying the food which was a sort of Grilled Chicken Leg, Fries with East Indian seasoning and Salad, he was struggling with himself and the food. Eventually he put the phone done and started playing with the food! The portion was not too big but I only paid $10 for that. I need three dishes like that to be full, at least but that was enough, under the circumstance! Lazy Ass, by talking to himself, was trying to convince himself that it was the best thing to do at the moment: To let the girl go! I was getting sick of his stupidity because there was the same shit two months ago! The guy just have no self-respect and lets the girl play the game. I finally tell him to go. We got a box and he took the rest of the food home to probably throw it out in a few days! I dropped him of while he was asking me to visit him again tomorrow but told him that I would not be able to. 

As per the restaurant, would I go or would I recommend that? Most likely no! I hate smoking anything and I can imagine how disgusting that place would be when one or two people are smoking Hookah! Food is okay but I can get the same food in a really nicer and cleaner place with a little more dollar. I only went there to accompany him and that was it!

(Photo, top: My Grilled Chicken Leg certainly look good appetizing here. Those fries, by the way are sprinkled with a type of amazing East Indian seasoning. I do not eat fries but that night I had not had lunch and finished the fries and the whole dish within a few minutes. Really tasty)

Disgusting Disgraceful Builders of Canada (DDBC)

I I worked in residential construction as a sort of Site Supervisor for a bit more than a year and learnt a lot. I worked for that cheating, fraudulent, bastard, A. J. who by the way is a relative! The bastard deducted $100 every month, from the agreed-upon salary for insurance! Although the contract was not in writing but it was still considered binding and I could've filed a complained against the piece of crap but I didn't know at the time. It was then when I realized who these builders in Canada, similar to the old country, and perhaps the other parts of the world, become rich and I think everyone knows a little.
Using shit material, utilizing cheap labour, cutting the corners, skipping the codes and standards, providing temporary cheap solutions to problems, you name it!
In the province of Brit " SHIT " Columbia where there's a big pool of disgusting, stinking cheap labour available and without any bias they are mainly from Punjabi Indian background, A. J. utilized these fellas a lot to keep the cost of construction low. For example a job that a Caucasian would do for $2.5 per mܑ, a Punjabi and not to forget, also a Chinese would do for $0.25 per mܑ!

One of the 5 ceiling lights in the kitchen. Three of them should be taken out and two, I'm hoping to be used over the range

The difference, however would not be negligible. That's where I would have come to show! I was the one who had to fix and correct every shit job that these cheap assholes have done. A keen inspector, though, would catch them all and list them for the fucking piece of shit, A. J. 

With that in mind, now I'm in this fairly new residence, built in 2018, I can see some of the shit work similar to what A. J. used to present(!) in her so-called projects! I remember once there was a big house in Squamish for sale. The listing price was nearly $780,000. It was a huge single family home with an attached suite to rent. One day I recall clearly that a Caucasian tall blond lady walked in. This was she said when she step her first foot in: This is an Indian built house! That was it and she stepped back out! 

The house was, of course sold later to a Russian family as everyone has expectations. 

When I moved in to this place, I realized that the asshole builder has installed up to three bulbs in a number of the fixtures! I generally hate to waste too much on my electricity bill, let alone how disturbing too much light, particularly artificial light is to my eyes. So I went to the nearest Canadian Tire and spent over $100 on an aluminium ladder to get the disgusting bulbs out and I did that all this morning. I took a total of extra unnecessary bulbs out and still have three more in the kitchen's ceiling which requires, perhaps an electrician to take care of it! The ladder is good because I will need to do other things and that's a tool in the house but i also have to get rid of the nasty Microwave Oven, possibly through an electrician as I never use such a disgusting machine. In fact what I did was I disconnected that from the electric board in the garage the first day I arrived in the place. What I would like to do is to get rid of it which is hanging unnecessarily over the range and replace it with two of the ceiling lights. That not only save my eyes but also gives me better illumination for my cooking. Builders are the same everywhere. Some worse than others. They are all a member of DDBC!

Stupid Ruling Regarding a Spy's Death

I wrote about the spy that the American's were looking for, in Iran, for a long time, a little than a year ago. I am no fan of the Islamic Republic but at the same time I do not approve of everything that the US wants to do at each and every corner of the world, being the World's police! For that reason when I read the story of the American spy, the CIA agent, Robert Levinson and his disappearance in Iran, after landing in Kish Island in Persian Gulf, I had no sympathy for him and his family. 

How dare you, the family of the spy, to go to the country that your man went to, to collect information and then harm the people with that information, to ask for his release! It is thought the guy was handed to one of the groups that Iran works with in Afghanistan or somewhere and possibly died there. Now a stupid judge in the US has ruled that the Iranian government has to pay the family of the disgraceful spy a total of $1.3 billion! What a stupid joke! If the world would work like that then most of the revenue of the US Government should have been paid to different countries all around the globe as a result of the US intervention! 

First of all the US Government or in fact the Americans should be punished for the 1953 coup in Iran when the elected government of Dr. Mossadegh was toppled by an American-led coup! And I'm not even going to the other parts of the world. Stupid, stupid and stupid! That's what you are judge!

(Photo: One of the picture of the American spy and CIA agent, Robert Levinson which was released to the public after he was disappeared in 2007. The sign should read: This is the result of 30 years spying! It is believed that this spy has died sometime this year. The funny thing about this dead fella is that he met Dawud Sallahudin, a Black American Muslim, who assassinated a former Iranian diplomat in the US, in 1980 and the fled the country and has been living in Iran ever since!)

Moon Cake

There has been nothing but hard work and home chores in the past 4 months and even before longer before that. Therefore there hasn't been anything notable to write. Bringing the stuff to the new place, trying to organize things and still I am far away from a comfortable house. 

That aside, a week ago there was a sort of Chinese festival, I thing and they distributed a sort of " treat " called Moon Cake! I've heard of Moon Pie which is an American confection but I've not tried it.So I decided to try this Chinese thing although I have no good experience with Chinese baked items and food, in general. 

An opened Moon Cake. The disturbing(!) Yolk can be clearly seen

It was not good! The so-called cake is basically made of some disgusting/unknown flour plus a think pate which should be a type of Bean, as that's what the Chinese use for their filling and then the oddest thing is a salted cooked Yolk in the center of cake which tastes disgusting! I'd never pay a Dime for something like that but I've been told that a small box of that goes for $50! Perhaps the person was trying to add some value to Chinese culinary world!
