A day 10 years in the making. This original #YYC-based @torontofc supporter is ready to see the Reds finally win the #MLSCup. I've cried so many tears over the last decade, but have met so many folks whom now I call friends. Distance may separate us, but to use a Shakespearean analogy: tonight on what is our St. Crispin's Day, my spirit (no matter where my body shall rest) will be at BMO Field in #Toronto. When the supporters jump, my spirit jumps with them. When the supporters cheer, my spirit cheers with them. When the supporters celebrate, my spirit will celebrate with them. Bring it home, TFC. I believe. #TorontoTilIDie! #ComeOnYouReds! #TFCLive #MLS #MLSCupPlayoffs #torontofc #6ix #416 #403

Watching back @nbchairspraylive with a Vietnamese iced coffee pop (cà phê sữa đá) in my hand, after work. French roast coffee, condensed milk plus seven minutes in a quick pop maker. Frozen magic in minutes. (Although I could've used more condensed milk...but still good to taste a bit of the coffee.) #ChefApprenticeAtHome #ChefApprenticeLife

Plate 4 @eatforeign: Vietnamese coffee parfait. Like a tiramisu but even better. Strong coffee and chocolate flavours, with a bit of sweetness, just like how a ca phe sua da should be (although I do take my Viet coffee on the sweeter side). But why have just one dessert... #ChefApprenticeDinesOut #ChefApprenticeLife #yycfood #yyceats #yyc (at Foreign Concept Restaurant)
