So I haven't blogged in while or posted more photos to my pictures gallery of the Las Vegas Honeymoon or of the Wedding. No I haven't fallen off of the face of earth...
I've just got Tendonitis in my right wrist and am resting it at night and on weekends. A full week after visiting the doctor it is somewhat better but is sore at times. As of today (Sunday) it feels better with the odd stiffness here and there.
So I will rest it one more day and then resume posting pictures.... Stay tuned!

What has happenned to T.K.'s Food?
On Friday night my Wife and I headed over to T.K.'s Restuarant and Pub (located at 265 Edward Street, Aurora, ON) for dinner.
Order: Pad Thai and Italian Sausage Penny with Sprite and Water to drink
Review: My wife and I have been to T.K.'s before and knew the service wasn't that good but at least the food was good.
On this visit the service was up to expecations of before (Read: poor!). We ate on the "bar side" of the restaurant in a booth. The bartender came down to the booth (we were the only ones in the booth area at the time with only four other people at the bar) and we ordered our drinks. When she returned with our drinks and we were about to order our food she said "your waitress will be with you in a moment".
In about 8 minutes (15 minutes since we sat down at the restaurant) the same person returned to take our food order! At this point if we had waited another 2 minutes my wife and I would have left $2.00 on the table for and left for another restaurant. But I digress... So we ordered.
The food took the usual twenty minutes to come.My Italian Sausage Penny was T.K's usual goodness with decent sauce, good sausage and noodles while decently but not steaming burn your mouth off hot in temperature.
My wife's Pad Thai was a different manner. Another reviewer put it perfectly:
"The Pad Thai is an over-spiced mess on Italian pasta" - Worst restuarant food ever post on Restrauntica.ca
But at least we had a coupon from the Auroran newspaper for a buy one entree for over $10.00 and a drink and get the second one free.
The bartender had the nerve when we didn't even come close to eating the Pad Thai if we "wanted it rapped up." Obviously we said "NO THANKS!"
We're sorry to say we left a tip. But only because we didn't have the correct change to pay the bill to the penny and leave. We didn't want to hang around the usual 10 minutes for the service to scrape together the change. But believe me the food and the service weren't worth tipping for.
Return again?: Maybe in six months to a year to see if this place has improved.
