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

Fourth course: Beef shin Mussaman curry (มัสมั่นเนื้อ). Don't mind the rice on the plate. It's instinct that I just simply put the rice right into the plate...i couldn't help myself. #ChefApprenticeLife #ChefApprenticesDayOff #yycfood #yyc #ThaiFood #Thai (at Model Citizen)

#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)

Finally, dessert (part 1): pandan pudding, which I believe is a take on khanom chan (ขนมชั้น), the infamous nine layer Thai rice flour pudding. No matter what it was, it was good. Kinda reminds me of a soft mochi, that's probably why I believe it's a take on khanom chan. #ChefApprenticesDayOff #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood#yyc #ThaiFood #Thai (at Model Citizen)

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)

First course from my #SxSEFeast tonight: Beef chorizo xiaolongbao (小籠包) "steamed empanadas". Served in a traditional bamboo steamer basket. I am part Shanghainese (on my mother's side), so this one pays homage to that side of my family. #ChefApprenticeLife #yyc #yycfood #ChefApprenticesFeast (at charbar)
