Its BBQ season. Time for some steaks. Here is my family’s go to marinade recipe for Chicken or Steak:
1 cup oil
3/4 cup soya sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup worchestershire sauce
1/4 cup prepared mustard
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
Just mix the ingredients, pour over meat, and let it sit for as long as possible before BBQing or preparing any way you wish.
I usually marinade the night before or in the morning before work and get great results! Happy eating!
Facebook ads work! OK, one worked on me. I don’t remember exactly what it said, but it was something along the line of “The Dreadnoughts live at Amigos in Saskatoon”. The ad took me to the event page, and that linked me to The Dreadnoughts MySpace. I liked those songs enough to convince some friends to check out the show with me.
It turned out that The Dreadnoughts were opening for another band on their label, The Brains. Their drum said that they were Canadian Psychobilly, which I correctly guessed would be a punk-er rockabilly. The Brains had a great set up: zombie makeup, a horror movie font on their backdrop, and a stand up bass shaped like a coffin.
It was my first time at Amigos and it did not disappoint. It was small, but not packed, had cheap cover ($8), good service, and tasty nachos. The crowd was mostly rockabilly types there to see The Brains. Even though the stage was low and the dance floor was directly in front of our table I never had trouble seeing. Andrew W. K. is there later in June, hopefully the venue will be just as good.

May 4, 2009, I started at zu, a local interactive agency, for the first day of my 12 month internship. Friday was my 10th day of work, the end of my second week, and the start of my first long weekend.
Working has taken some getting used to, but I think I have it down. Last week I was very tired after work, I’m going to chalk that up to the fairly relaxed three weeks prior. But I’ve adjusted to having to get up in the morning pretty well.
All of my new coworkers are great. Everyone is super nice and was very welcoming. The atmosphere is really fun. There has been three office pranks during my two weeks here.
The actual work is good too. I’m doing a lot of reading of company policy and standards. Programming tasks are coming in more often now that I’m more familiar with how things go down here. I’m excited for the industry experience that I wouldn’t be able to get in school.
Hopefully the rest of my year here is as fun as the first two weeks.
Its my first post at fakerobot.ca!! Yay! This is going to be more of a journal than a blog, I guess. I don’t plan on being dedicated to only one topic because I love too many things. But if you love new technology, design, crafts, dance, cooking, gaming, books, music, and of course ROBOTS then there is going to be something here for you.
Thanks for reading and please leave comments! If you do I will heart you, I promise. Oh, and forgive my exclamation point abuse. I’m trying.
