Aunt Gussie's Restaurant Food Review (Grand Bend, Ontario)

            Thanks to @ralyssa11 On Twitter, as she recommended this restaurant to my dad and I, my dad and I had the opportunity and chance to eat there on the day we left Grand Bend and it was a long wait but it was worth the entire wait and it wasn't really that long wait honestly, it didn't feel that long honestly. Once they cleared a table for us, we got seated and ordered juice and coffee for my dad obviously and we put in the order. I don't remember what he had but I had the Aunt Gussie classic breakfast which consist 2 eggs, bacon, potato small wedges and toast. 


               Now the eggs were done over easy to my liking and it was cooked to my liking. The bacon wasn't too crispy, I like it not too crispy but even I am able to chew the bacon without hurting my teeth in the process. The potatoes were nice and soft and tasted really well. I should of done ketchup but I don't think they had that condiment out yet as it was still the morning at the time.  The toast, well the bread was so soft and I actually like the bread diagonal and wanna do that from here on out.


                So this restaurant out of 5 gets a 5 all day as it is a nice hearty meal and great way to get your day started as Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But be patient when you go to Aunt Gussie's it is worth it. The staff (waitresses) work so hard and go back and forth and gives you great service which is great in a restaurant. If you are in the Grand Bend Ontario, do give it a shot by eating at Aunt Gussie's!

My Grand Bend Vacation 2018!

                As you all know, I took some time off and went away for the 4 days I was off. I went to Grand Bend for a holiday. I needed to soak up some suds on the beach, swimming and hiking. We had to wait one extra day due to a thunderstorm and we didn't wanna get struck by lighting by all means so we left on the Tuesday and the Monday I finished up all the work that I had to do before I started a 4 day vacation time from reality. So we left at quarter to 11 in the morning and we trekked all the way to Grand Bend with a stop to stretch our feet as we were getting stiff and it is a historic town called Stratford. We got there and we started to setup, had a mishap with the tent which mean taking a 20 km side trip to resolve our tent woes on this trip. In the evening we went down into Grand Bend, did some Mini Golf which I won. Also saw the sun set as well which was beautiful! 

            Day 2 came around, we did some hiking in Pinery Provincial Park to  do some hiking and also swam at the day beach which was nice. Also we did back to back swimming with another swim at the beach in Grand Bend. So it was refreshing and boy I was tired by the end of the day. We did more mini golf, saw the sunset with some Jazz entertainment. The 3rd and final full day in Grand Bend which we left the day later we went back to the Provincial Park for another hike which took about 40 minutes. Followed by looking at the opposite beach from the beach in Grand Bend. We also swam once again as well. We also did mini golf and we tied so we both one a game and tied the last so it was officially a tie between us. We saw the sunset for the last time and spent a good amount of time on the beach like Wednesday night and also had a milshake that wasn't too good and I will be doing a post on that as a review of the Sweet Shoppe down there on Wednesday's blog post.


             Friday we went home but has breakfast at Aunt Gussie's and I will be doing a food review on tomorrow's blog post for you guys if I recommend it or not. Followed by that we had one last swim, followed by a milkshake which better then the day before and again I will talk about it on my review on Wednesday. Followed by that we were finally on our way home. I slept a good 2.5 hours and up for dinner which we went to Pizza Hut which aren't many and I like Pizza hut as the dough is so soft when you bite into it. However the trip was great, had a great time and glad to be home and bringing out tons of podcast and blog content to you this week.

Back On My Diet....

                After a 4 day holiday away, I need to get back on my diet as my weight has gone up so I am currently working on fixing that right away as I need to get back on the right track with losing weight and my goal is get back to 222 pounds before this gets way out of control again and I plan on not letting it getting this out of control, I want to continue on with my weight loss journey as I plan to still get below 200 pounds again as I haven't been that for years now. I am only 3 pounds away from 230 again and trust me I don't want to be back at that point where I have to start my diet all over again from the start.


                We ate too good on the Grand Bend trip, I think the portion size was too much honestly, however I still got the food and I had smaller lunches. I guess vacations you eat like crazy but yet I swam a lot and I also hiked quite a lot too so that had a factor that I didn't go up by much in weight actually, I went up a pound but I am slowly going down. Now, I am not going to not eat, I have to eat but I need to portion size the amount I eat per meal and also eat the non fatty food and eating healthier is one of the bigger goals. My goal is to be above 1800 calories per day which has actually helped me lose the weight I need to lose. 


                 Finally I will continue on with my diet and I will work on continue on losing the weight and I want to get down below 200 and get a little smaller in my waist to fit some of my clothes that I cannot fit into now. This is a long winding journey but I am definitely on the way to losing the weight and I will not give up on it whatsoever. I will press forward with this but I should of not let it go this far up especially with eating out so often during the kitchen renovations but it is what it is and I will deal with it regardless!

I Screwed Up, Royally & Changes....

           I screwed up. I admit I made a mistake with one of the shows I covered back in the spring and I it was thrown into the wrong podcast. I admit the mistake I made and I will fix it as the best I can. I got clarification yesterday while still on vacation that Music City is indeed Reality TV and can fit into Everything About Reality TV format, so over the next couple of days I will be adjusting the intro's to the podcast and re naming it to Everything About Reality TV Podcast as that is now the only podcast I am hosting at this point of time and the primary focus right now for me. Now as for Music City, it will be moved onto Everything About Reality TV 


              As for the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers podcast will be moved to ChrisBOnTheWeb.com when the site is back up and running, that's right I am planning to start re-building the site even if it is on a free site if worse comes to worse, I am still getting content out to you guys regardless of the situation with the ailing website but would like the .com website to come back to normal. I rather have the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a special collaboration podcast with my good friend Larry as it is just something that is totally random then focus on two podcasts. It has become such a busy schedule, I just want to primarily focus on Everything About Reality TV.


               Over the holidays,   I really got thinking straight finally after having 2 full days off that I need to realize what is more important. What do I mean by that? Well Everything About Reality TV has been doing well, meanwhile it has been a bit of a struggle to get the views on a brand new podcast. As you know Everything About Reality TV is about to turn 3 since it's inception on YouTube and 2 years on Audio ONLY and it has been a struggle to get the views it needs to be successful and it has become a huge success and it's grown on various platforms. So this is the podcast I want to focus on primarily and try and stick to it for right now.

My Plans For Fixing Up My Studio?

                 My plans to fix up the studio, well, lets say I let things get way out of control with the holes in the wall here. That is the first step is fixing up all the walls down here so it doesn't look like swiss cheese... I know small joke but I want to improve things here in my studio especially and fix things up eventually. Once that is done, I am planning to get another desk as this one is not built very well and would like one that's more sturdy and durable. I plan on looking at the sales at Leon's to see what I can find in the way of getting a desk for right here in the studio. 


                   Now as most of you know with my current setup is to rotate the desk against the west wall of the room instead of the way it is right now currently. I want a change of pace and I don't like this small cluttered space right now, I want more of an open concept kind of space  and I have a good amount of wall I can use, I mean space I can use for a studio and I wanna utilize it a bit more then I had before. I also have plan to have a cork board to put up pictures from my niece and nephew. I also would like to put up posters as well up on my wall unit as I want to give it that full look and what not. 


                    Yes I am excited for the studio to be fixed up and look like an actual studio again as right now I am sick and tired of looking at the holes here in the studio but I have learned from this and look forward to the future of this studio and the amazing recordings I am going to do in the nearby future as well!

The Day I Lost My Bus Pass (Throwback Thursday Story)

               This was a few years ago, I believe just at the start of the renovations or just before the Mall renovations happened but I believe I was coming off the bus from Whitby from an appointment so I could of left my bus pass on the bus there. So what did I have to do? I went to the bank machine took $20 bucks out and had to break the money in order to get my butt back home to figure out what I can do next. I felt like an idiot to lose my actual bus pass as now I could not get around at all but my mom came to my rescue like always when I do something stupid like losing my bus pass which costed me around 42 - 45 dollars a month but I was lucky the lady gave me one for nothing as she was lenient  which was a good thing and I managed to get my bus pass ordeal all figured out.


                  Now how did I feel? I felt like an idiot, I felt stupid that I lost my bus pass and unable to get home like I wanted to.... I was in completely in panic that I lost it, I didn't really have a clue what to do to be honest... It was not a good feeling whatsoever. I did text my mom and I already contacted the Transit system and they advised me what to do after I gave them the bus route number and also the bus number itself. But to get this new one I was a much happier person once the problem was resolved.


                    Did I learn to be more careful? I make sure and I always double and triple check for the bus pass to make sure it is in that same spot I put it in. I also even check my seat over to make sure nothing is being left behind so I am being very cautious when it comes to leaving anything on the bus now and making sure I do not make this same stupid mistake twice. I truly have learned to not make this happen again in the future as well too.

Would I Ever Broadcast Again?

                Would I broadcast ever again at anytime of my life? No. Not just because of the fact I am banned from every platform out there but there is tons of reasons why I don't want to broadcast anytime soon and it is nothing against the platforms but here are some of the reasons:

1) I am banned from majority of the broadcasting platforms for stupid things I have done or I have a vendetta against the owner(s) of the platform. 

2) I feel like social broadcasting has started to die down but that is only my opinion but it hasn't been the same since Stickam.com, BlogTV.com days and I don't think will ever change anytime soon. I know BlogTV.ca is suppose to happen but once again, something happened between me and the owners of the new BlogTV.ca and I feel like if I return, I do not want to cause anymore problems as it is. 

3) The trolls, it got way out of control on a few occasions and I knew it was that time I need to leave broadcasting and just do Audio ONLY Podcasts and these wonderful blog posts I do for you guys on a regular basis. 

4) I've been casting since 2009 and just felt like I had enough of it. I felt like it wasn't fun to do anymore and like I said above, it is not the same since BlogTV & Stickam days as both platforms closed down not far apart from each other, a month to be exact.


                  So the answer to the question is No, I will not be planning on returning to broadcasting anytime soon as I am happy where I am at, this current time of day and very proud of the accomplishments I have made as well on this blogger/podcast journey and I wanna continue this uphill journey.
