K and I worked at the Salvation Army food bank today for 3 hours. He needs volunteer hours for his school. It's hard work, but less lifting than last time. This time we got to sort out the food shelves, checking for expired food, etc. I felt like I was in my own kitchen clearing out the cupboards. Hard work, as I said. But I did notice a neat product, Lysol disinfecting wipes for cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, I think I'll get some. Not environmentally friendly perhaps, but good for quick cleanups. Kyle noticed some cinnamon roll flavour Quaker instant oatmeal, so we can try that too. The young pastor came in and thanked us while we were there. Everyone seems to be getting younger these days, unless it's me aging (sigh). The supervisor looked like he was in high school but he assured me he graduated 10 years ago and in fact was newly married.
We ate sushi last night with my sister and her family at an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant in Markham called Nagoya, to celebrate Thanksgiving with them. The restaurant boasts 110 items. These restaurants seem to be popping up everywhere. Nagoya was very good, we enjoyed everything and tried a few new things like 'sushi pizza'. We had some shark fin sushi. L then remembered her teacher telling her horrible stories of how they come by this shark fin in the far east. The fishermen cut off the sharks' fins and let them sink to the bottom of the ocean where they bleed to death. Well, never really thought the taste was anything special, even though it's considered a delicacy, so we decided not to eat that anymore for humane reasons. Apparently veal is another similar story, but we don't eat much of that either.
