Forgive the lateness of this episode, but moving really put us behind schedule.  We’ll try to make it up with a ZFC Snack this week though.  Without further ado, art imitating life - food in games!

On Highway 11, heading up to Ontario’s cottage country, there’s a great place to stop and grab a bite and … you know… make a pit stop.    Simple, good food at a great price - check it out if you’re in the Georgian Bay or Muskoka region.

“The pleasant experience of eating something you have never had before,  will extend your life by 75 days!”  — Japanese Proverb.

Ok, not everyone will like sushi, but everyone should *try* it (unless you have a fish allergy).  And, even if this Japanese delicacy isn’t for you, please consider going to a sushi restaurant to try some of the other dishes there, especially if your friends are going!

Looking back at this episode, we forgot to even really discuss the origins of the carnival.  But, it’s probably nothing you haven’t already seen on the History Channel.  In case you missed every show that’s been on about Mardi Gras, check out this great article from Wikipedia about the different carnivals and festivals of the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival.
