I Can't Stop Celebrating My Beloved @torontofc's First Appearance In The #MLSCup! Ten Years Ago On May

I can't stop celebrating my beloved @torontofc's first appearance in the #MLSCup! Ten years ago on May 12, 2007 I watched as Dichio score in the 24th minute, and I've been hooked ever since. Nigel Reed's call of that goal still ring in my ears every time I think of it. And the seat cushions. Oh, the rain of cushions! But since that day It's been a long, hard slog filled with more heartbreak and disappointment than joys (covering the quarterfinal win over the @lagalaxy in the 2012 @concacaf Champions League knockout phase for @sbnation's Waking the Red is one) -- but tonight shows that pain and sorrow is finally paying dividends. Bigly! Tonight I'm enjoying yet another lovely glass of #Prosecco, but I'm hoping many more are still to come after December 10th when I celebrate #TFC lift the trophy! 十年前嘅五月十二日下午時候，我係電視中見証歷史，昨晚我再次見歷史係我嘅眼前實現。 十年前係狄奇歐射入多倫多FC首個入球，十年後係同一個球會邁向MLS終決賽嘅新疆界。 係十年之內成為一個身在卡城嘅「勇等」，都算係一個好大唳失落嘉年華，多苦少樂。 不過昨晚我睇到TFC由首回三比二反敗為勝滿地河七比五，係我短短人生中最開心的一刻。 如果TFC係十二月十日可以打贏西雅圖捧MLS杯，十年嘅心痛會一剎那一筆勾消。我嘅TFC捧杯黃金夢，可否成真？我真心真意希望呢個夢想可以成真。 #ComeOnYouReds! #TorontoTilIDie! #MLS #tfclive #mlscupplayoffs #MLScup2016 #yyc

Third course: coconut chicken soup, or Tom kha gai (วิธีทำ ต้มข่าไก่). I was cautioned by the server to *NOT* eat the salt under the coconut bowl when the dish arrived. Fair warning, y'all. Flavour wise, nice and creamy. Crack the chili in half and let it steep for a minute for extra heat. #ChefApprenticeLife #chefapprenticesdayoff #yycfood #yyc #ThaiFood #Thai (at Model Citizen)

Chef Jessica doing a demo of all our new menu items launching tomorrow @charbar_yyc. Some amazing stuff coming down the pipes, including calamari frutti fugazza. Yes, calamari fritti fugazza. I made one. I've seen it. It exists. And it is amazing. Will have more pics when I get to make each item. Stay tuned. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #MasterInAction #yycliving #yyc (at charbar)

#Shanghai x #BuenosAires. Beef chorizo "xiaolongbao" (小籠包), with beef stock wrapped in a hot water dough. This will be the first course of my five course South x South feast tomorrow. This has been a long time coming; it's my time to shine. #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc (at charbar)

Heirloom tomatoes, sourdough ends, basil, red onion, Grizzly Gouda, balsamic reduction. All the pieces of a #Tuscan panzanella salad. #Chefapprenticelife #theartofplating #yycfood #yyceats #yyc #yycliving #captureyyc #yycnow #evliving #chefsroll #chefslife #chefstalk #fbcigers #foodshot #foodstarz #foodstagram #Gastronomy #instafood #truecooks #huffposttaste #chefsofinstagram #feedfeed #f52grams #Jarrytype #salad #sourdough #Italian #CucinaToscana #GardeManger

Rounding out the first course (believe it or not!) is the classic Thai green papaya salad, som tum (ส้มตำ). I don't think it has the classic Northeastern Thai addition of river crab in it, but it was quite tasty nevertheless. #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyc #ThaiFood #Thai (at Model Citizen)
