End of The Week Updates [12-15-2023]

             Another week has ended and time for another end of the week updates:

Christmas: Christmas Day there will be no blog whatsoever. We are planning to take the time off. Speaking of that we are planning to close the studio from Dec 23rd - 26th for a break so the emails will not be answered till Dec 27th so if it is an emergency but put it as part of your subject and myself or one of the team will be sure to answer it as soon as possible.

The CBOTW Show: Well, that has been a struggle as everything else seems to come up at the moment. This weekend I hope to be switching to the old PC to get working on that. Eyes was on me recording a bunch yesterday which I did in order to stay on schedule. 

Website: Big thanks to Kelsie, we now are recognizing some of the people who contributed to ChrisBOnTheWeb Media & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com over the years. Won't be recognizing people who I ended on bad terms obviously but got at least 4 people on there to start with. Will update it when we need to update it. Right now it is not a priority at this moment. I can say this feature has been very loved by the community and thank you for the positive feedback you guys have given us since this addition.

           Those are the updates for this week, have a fantastic weekend and as always I will talk to you guys on Monday for another week of blogging!

Toronto Christmas Market Food Review

          So CBOTW Fam, two part review! I should of taken a picture of the cookie and the Hot chocolate but I didn't... DARN! Anyways I had a Grilled Cheese sandwich with bacon which was actually grilled on an actual grill this time around and it brought a lot of flavor to the sandwich actually. It was so chewy and really good. The bacon seemed like it was a thick pieces of bacon too which is a bonus. They really gave you quality sandwich for 11.25 which is expensive enough but worth every penny. So I'd give the sandwich a 15 out of 10 as it exceeds my expectations. 

                Now we had a dessert at a place called Sweetie Pie which is a normal shop in the Distillery Distinct and I plan on tagging them on our Facebook Fan Page and hopefully they see and read my amazing review. My dad and I ordered a few things, peanut butter cookies (2) for my mom and she said it was very soft and tender and she gave me a small chunk to try and it was really good. She was very impressed. My dad and I both got the Ginger cookies and again soft in ever bite that we took. I'd give em 15 out of 10 like the sandwich above. Now we also got some warm drinks, Belgium Hot Chocolate and was very chocolaty and they even added green and red food coloring to fit the Christmas holidays. We asked them to add in whip cream for an extra buck and it was amazing. I'd also give it a 15 out of 10 as it exceeds my expectations! We will be back there when we visit again in the future outside of the Christmas event. I will highly recommend them as well. So that wraps up the reviews and events for 2023. Thank you for supporting me with all these events, look forward to returning to these events next year but in the meantime it will be full pledge content which I will talk about that on tomorrow's end of the week updates but for now have a good rest of your Thursday.

Toronto Christmas Market 2023!

              Monday, I got to go to the Toronto Christmas Market. It has been 4 years since my dad and I have been to the event so it most definitely felt good to have gone back to the event. There was a lot of vendors, soaps, Christmas Decorations, tarts, little cool nick knacks especially that it is the Christmas season now too. Lights are absolutely stunning this year. They had a ton of different vendors to many to even mention and they also had a candle and soap shop which smelled absolutely amazing. 

It was cold out but wasn't that bad once we had something to eat which I will talk about and review tomorrow on the blog which is taking up a lot of my blog space for the week which is actually fantastic, more content the better. Anyways the lights were amazing as always I really enjoyed going back to the Toronto Christmas Market and will look forward to it again next year as this wraps up events for us for 2023. That's the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for the food review.

Wendy's In Milton Ontario Food Review [12-09-2023]

           This is one food review that isn't 100% positive. Was a bunch of mixed feelings. We obviously were going out to eat after Halton Streetcar Museum and we had a hard time to finding a place and Tim's touch screen order system didn't work worth a hoot. Tim's is another story for another time.  Anyways I told the person who served me it was for eating in yet they put it for take out like hello I said I'm eating in, for crying out loud! The soda or pop as we call it up here in Canada was flat from the one machine, I poured out and tried the other.. Was a tad better cannot complain though as the carbonation wasn't there. 

          The Chicken fingers which was only 3, I mean it would be good if it was  4 or 5 and it didn't  I wasn't too hungry anyways to begin with anyways. The Chicken fingers were crispy and good. I had ranch dip and it was really really good actually. I will be doing that on my Chicken Fingers here at home. Only problem with the fries was, well cold so fast. They didn't even provide me with ketchup nothing. All I can rate is the chicken fingers 4.5 out of 5 all day long as for the others I just refuse to rate it. I'm sorry to say that I do not plan on returning to that location in Milton. That is the review, sorry if it sounds a little down. I  tried to make this positive review as I always do but I have to remember the experiences are all gonna be different each and every restaurant I go to. Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Halton County-- Christmas Event

          Saturday afternoon, I took off to Halton for the Halton County Radial Museum Christmas on the Rails event and I don't think it is the proper name but was a Christmas event my dad attended this year. It was a fun experience. I know there was a problem with one of the streetcars derailing at the other loop but they resolved the issue and got the car back on the tracks and seems to have to do with the pin snapping so hopefully they repair it. 
 
       Now the cars that ran there was a whole pile of them. 8 car while they were fixing the car down at the loop, then 2894, 4039, 4600 and by the time we were about to leave W-30 which we didn't know that they were working on it but noticed it was powered in the barn so we knew something was truly up and it was on standby in case they needed more cars so well 4 running as they took 8 out of service as it was only temporary but nice to ride on most of them. Now they had nice hot drinks, apple cider, hot chocolate, sugar cookies, tarts, rice crispy squares and other baked good which was nice and soft and tender, practically melted in my mouth. Anyways we had a good time and big thank you to Halton for adding an additional hour to make up for the delay at the loop. They went above and beyond Saturday night. I look forward to returning in 2024.

End of The Week Updates [12-08-2023]

            Well another week has come to a close and I think this is my first end of the week updates in quite some time now. I do not remember the last time I did an end of the week last but anyways to the updates:

Blog mishap yesterday: Yeah, I somehow screwed up the blogs. The gaming one was suppose to be going out next Tuesday and the Tyrone Parade post was suppose to be yesterday not this morning. So had to put out the Tyrone blog this morning and this post at the same time.

The CBOTW Show: I have been trying for the longest time to get all the episodes edited and posted and this weekend will be the weekend for recording whether I like it or not I am not going to let anything stand in my way of getting it done. Also the Happy Gilmore Podcast is recorded and awaiting being edited and I have dabbled on it a bit and will while watching the movies and what not. 

Entertainment Man Podcast: As for my podcast things are looking good just making a few adjustments to the podcast for this weekend as there was a bit of setting issue that I was experiencing as I just installed the editing software from my old computer on the main computer. Anyways done and ready to go Sunday afternoon. Also Kelsie, my assistant and resident Graphic Designer has made a new graphic for thumbnails and as for the background it is the same background minus the name of the podcast for YouTube. 

            Anyways that is the blog for today, have a great weekend and as always I will talk to you on Monday with the Halton County Radial Museum Christmas on the Rails post.
