Remembrance Day

I find it very ironic that today is 'Singles Day', as this is the anniversary of the day, I got engaged to my now ex-wife back in '87:-)

I did it because it was Remembrance Day, and the joke was that I wouldn't forget our anniversary, but now I'd like to be able to forget it.

If I ever get engaged again it will have to be on April 1st;-)

And remember what Robin Williams is said to have said:-)

Or was that Alanis Morissette who said that?-)

Robin passed away in August 2014 the Year of the Horse, in case you forgot;-)

‘An insult to his culture’:
Italian chef sacked after not
putting pineapple on pizza

Every November 10th

I've read a few news stories today about an Italian pizza chef who was working in my hometown of Brisbane, until he was sacked for refusing to put pineapple on a pizza:-)

Sounds like it was a bit more than that which got him sacked to me, but don't let the truth stand in the way of a good news story as they say?

 Kan Zman 

Funnily enough, I bought an Hawaiian pizza from the Kan Zman restaurant on the way home from work last night, because while I do like pineapple on my pizza, I don't like ham on my pizza.

Kan Zman uses Macon instead of ham on this pizza, which is a is a cured and smoked form of mutton.

And on Friday I had the Mali Chicken pizza from Kan Zman.

Kan Zman make good pizzas IMHO, and I wonder what the Italian pizza chef would think of them;-)

I bought another pizza on the way home from the cinema today after seeing the Indian movie 'Ramayana: Part 1'.

This time the pizza I bought was a Vegetarian one from Amalfi Pizza.

Ironically this store is owned and operated by an Indian guy, not an Italian:-)

And this store makes good pizza and calzones, too.

While I'm not Indian (OK, I do have 1% Indian DNA according to Ancestry.com) and certainly not a Hindu, I was curious to see if this film lived up to the hype I've been reading about it in the press.

India's costliest film retells a beloved
Hindu epic - but divides critics

And yeah, I thought it did, even though it was in Hindi (a language I don't speak or understand) but with English subtitles.

I had my mind and stomach set on buying a Ben & Jerry's 120ml bucket of ice cream to take into the movie with me, as I knew there was a store inside the cinema complex, but alas it wasn't open until 4 o'clock I was informed by the cinema workers, so I bought a packet of chips and a Bulla choc top from the cinema candy shop instead.

This only served to remind me of how I got ripped off at Vinny's Pizza, when I had paid $6.99 for a 120ml bucket of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and the Indian guy that runs that store ripped me off by telling me that he didn't sell Ben & Jerry's ice cream and gave me a little tiny cup of Bulla ice cream worth about $1, and I had already been ripped off on my previous visit to Vinny's Pizza, when I had paid for a 1.25 litre Coke and been given a 375ml can instead.

The Vinny's Pizza Deal?

Needless to say that Vinny's Pizza is off my list of pizza joints now.

I went to see 'Ramayana: Part 1' at this cinema, because they have DBox seats that move and vibrate with the action on screen, plus Tuesdays are half price days:-)

Also, I needed to buy a 2027 Chinese wall calendar from Sunny Park news across the road from the cinemas before they sold out, so I'm all ready for next year this year:-)

I didn't realize that there was going to be a 15-minute intermission at about the 2-hour mark of the 3 hour and 30-minute film.

So, it took me a while to work out why people were leaving the cinema when the screen went black and a 15-minute timer started counting down on the screen?
I thought they were having technical difficulties in the projection booth with the film at first, but I worked it out after about 4 minutes:-)

Now I just have to wait until 2028 for 'Ramayana: Part 2':-)

Brisbane chef reveals why he would rather
be sacked than put pineapple on pizza

He won't even put chicken or BBQ sauce on a pizza?

Hey, I admire a guy like that who sticks to his principles, and I wouldn't try to force him to cook something he didn't want to ... but I still like pineapple on my pizza sometimes:-)
I'd like to try one of his "Italian" pizzas, maybe a Margherita or something like that.
