desserts @ Chocorrant

Tina & Andrew took me to this place after having our lunch at Saigon Taste =]

Located on 124th Street, Chocorrant is a fancy (by fancy, I mean $$$$) cafe that’s known for their little treats.

The interior is small but they use the space well. The cafe itself is very long & narrow (slim entrance/store front but extends deep), & they chose an L-shaped style to arrange to tables & chairs/benches. The whole place was very bright & the large window gives the space plenty of natural lighting. The 3 of us sat in *that* corner just in front of their chalkboard.

They’re constantly baking, apparently. During our short-ish time spent there, they brought out 2 more batches of croissants. They have sweet & savoury ones. The one that Tina wanted is not in photo bcos at the time, they were actually still baking it. Will show you what we got later!

Little cakes & tarts. They’re all so pretty. Reminded me Carlo’s Bakery in Vegas. They have now opened several ‘locations’ in Edmonton BTW. The vending machine concept is pretty cool!

Andrew chose the mandarin yuzu tart for me bcos they were treating me again. Thank you!!!

So my tart & the 2 croissants. Andrew ordered the matcha one & Tina ordered the salted egg croissant. Both croissants had a runny/syrup-y filling; but the salted egg one was just oozinggggg haha Andrew got the matcha one heated up too but maybe bcos the salted egg one was like straight outta the oven, so it was more rich & flowing? I don’t know! They both liked it but it was like . .. “good, might recommend, likely will try other things next time”. You know what I mean?

As for my mandarin yuzu tart. .. 8.2/10~ I think the topping portion with the yellow & green chocolate petal/leaf was very tasty. It was both light & a little tart/sour. It was refreshing, to say the least. But the actual tart pastry portion on the bottom. .. Kinda dry & hard. If this was in cake form, ie without the tart but the topping & cream in between layers of cake, I would undoubtedly order again (maybe even to-go & bring some home!). But the tart was. ..  =/

[ask-eugene-h-krabs]

What is your views on mermaid man and barnacle boy, Mr. Krabs?

Oi, them blow’ards, eh? Well, strap in, ‘cause that’s a bit o’ a complicated subject fer me.

See, back in th’ 50s er so, Ernie McHale and Tim Parker were just a couple o’ errant humans what done wandered in from up above, an’ thanks ter some cosmic fuckery er somethin’, they ended up wit’ some kind o’ superpowers. Was nice, ‘avin’ th’ two around, helped keep th’ streets clean an’ gave people somethin’ ter believe in, symbols o’ justice er some pie-in-the-sky shite like that. Weren’t harmin’ nobody, plus they were kinda eye candy, so o’ course I took ter em pretty fine.

Then comes th’ 60s, an’ these two meat’eads end up gittin’ themselves a telervision show fer coral’s sake! What a career path, ye might say, from refugees ter crime fighters ter actors! Ye couldn’t say th’ two o’ them weren’t loved nothin’, either, two o’ them ‘ad more screamin’ fans than them four dumb sluts from Liverpool. I remember th’ gals used ter toss them bras up o’er the red carpet line as they passed… ah, bless their ‘earts, was a diff’rent time, nobody understood quite what th’ two o’ them had…

But then comes ‘64, an th’ Gulf o’ Tonkin. Now I don’t mean ter digress too much, but fer ye young folks out there who dinnae know, I gots ter stress: th’ August 4th attacks what got America’s Congress ter sign th’ bill what sent 58,000 GIs ter their deaths an’ killed millions o’ civvies in th’ carnage… it were all a sonar glitch, an’ Lyndon Johnson knew it. I ain’t got a clue what they be teachin’ ya in schools these days, maybe ye all know this by now, but us common folk weren’t clued in at th’ time. Fer all we knew, it were now open war wit’ North Vietnam.

Now, in those days, the Marshall Islands did belong to Uncle Sam, an’ so wit’ Johnson’s resolution, we bottom-feeders down under in Bikini Bottom were part o’ the war, too. Now I could spin ye a tale o’ how I were just a poor feller who got ‘is draft card pulled, an’ got dragged inter a rich man’s war kickin’ an’ screamin’, but I ain’t ‘ere ter bullshit yas. No, I enlisted on me own accord, an’ it were Ernie an’ Tim what convinced me ter do it.

See, though Bikini Bottom weren’t th’ most populous ecosystem, them bastards in th’ beltway figgered they’d git a coupla us gill-breathers ter die in th’ place o’ them red-blooded American boys. So they extended their recruitin’ efforts down inter our briny depths, an’ let any Bottomite jumped up on red-scarin’ rage sign ‘is own death warrant afore jumpin’ em on them steely graveyards.

But thing is, us sea-dwellers cannae give two shits uva sea bear’s tail fin what politics be like on dry land, an’ that made enlistin’ us a moron’s errand. It weren’t goin’ ter be possible ter git more than a handful o’ hormonal sea-hawks ter join their so-called “volunteer navy”, not wit’out some serious properganding. An’ yet, lo an’ behold, down wit’ us salty suckers were a duo o’ humans jus’ like them, feelin’ alienated from their kind an’ itchin’ ter serve their community. It were all one big ado when Ernie an’ Tim, now well-established by them stage names “Mermaid Man” an’ “Barnacle Boy”, announced they’d be leavin’ our lil’ patch o’ Atlantis fer a time ter return ter America as naval cadets. One last season o’ their show were filmed, transparently war properganda if ever there’d been any, an’ then they were off, an’ like th’ school o’ guppies that we were, it became a regular feedin’ frenzy ter follow in their wake trails.

I… don’t want ter get too deep inter what went on in me years o’ service. Sufficer ter say, I came out o’ the fightin’ a changed man, me an’ all me crew were. I don’t look back on th’ time fondly, an’ I don’t make excuses fer what I’d done. When orders ter withdraw came, I’d done enough damage ter meself an’ th’ people o’ that country that I’d’ve been wise ter ‘ave turned me back an’ never look behind, but there’d been one loose end which none o’ us from Bikini Bottom could shake: Ernie an’ Tim, last seen in Saigon, ‘ad never come home.

Disregardin’ orders, me crew an’ I hitched up wit’ some GIs marchin’ inland. I’ll never ferget Saigon, not till me dyin’ day. Fer th’ people trapped inside the city limits, it coulda been th’ end o’ th’ world. It were what little good we could do ter help organize th’ evacuatin’, but all o’ me boys knew our ulterior motives: We ‘ad ter find Mermaid Man an’ Barnacle Boy, they ‘ad ter be alive somewhere.

In those last few days o’ April, durin’ Frequent Wind, it seemed as though all hope were lost. The NVAs ‘ad th’ city surrounded, panic on th’ streets were so bad ye couldn’t pedal a bicycle down th’ block. We’d be ter evacuate on the next helicopter outta th’ city, nothin’ more we could do. Wit’ a ‘eavy ‘eart an’ a ‘eavier conscience, Armor Abs Krabs an’ ‘is crew were ter leave Vietnam fer good.

Then, from o’er th’ raucous yellin’, I ‘eard it. A voice, one which I’d ‘eard night after dreary night on me ship’s projector.  A voice I never thought I’d ‘ear wit’out th’ familiar ‘um o’ film grain.

“Wait!” it cried, “don’t leave! We’re military, just like you!”

It were Ernie, wit’ Tim on ‘is ‘eels.

Th’ look upon th’ once proud Mermaid Man’s face, robbed o’ youth an’ optimism since committin’ it ter film stock, were one o’ abject horror. Barnacle Boy, no more a boy than a shell-shocked man whose soul were thirty years ‘is senior, hustled forward wit’ nae a trace o’ mirth on what ‘ad once been ‘is trademark babyface. Sparin’ not a moment ter greet th’ sea creatures what’d once been their neighbors what’d come all this way ter find em, they clambored inter the helicopter an’ cowered. Tim were near catatonic when we strapped ‘im inter ‘is restraints. Ernie could only rock back an’ force, holding ‘is knees in ‘is arms.

I ne’er knew just ‘ow long th’ two o’ them ‘ad been out there. Officially, there’d been ceasefire from America fer th’ better part o’ two years when Saigon fell. ‘Ad th’ two been separated from their unit an’ left ter wander the jungles all that time? Er ‘ad they’d stayed behind ter fight against th’ orders o’ high command? Though I’d remained a presence in th’ two’s lives fer a time after Vietnam, ‘elpin’ em reacclimate ter civilian life an’ cope wit’ their demons, I never did get straight answers outta them. I learned quickly not ter ask Ernie ‘bout ‘is time on dry land, th’ flashbacks came too fast an’ too cruel fer that man. Tim, I could never bring myself ter ask, not knowin’ what it’d done ter the older man. I’d enjoy not knowin’ what’d wiped th’ smile from th’ Boy Wonder’s face. When each o’ them passed these last few years, me navy buddies an’ I gave em a hero’s goodbye, but ter this day I wonder, I think all o’ us wonder, if they really deserved it.

Anyway, this ol’ man’s let ‘is story git away from ‘im, just look at th’ time. Been ramblin’, I been, an’ I don’t got a clue if I e’er answered yer original question. But then again, I don’t suppose I’d really know meself. It’s like I’d said, it’s a complicated subject, an’ not one I think anyone could say fer sure. All the same, thank ye fer listenin’, an’ I hope ye’ve considered what this ol’ krab ‘as ‘ad ter say.

Now are ye gonna order somethin’, er do I gotta get th’ broom ‘andle again?

I was just walking down the street, minding my own business, when this unseen rooster crowed at high volume and scared the shit outta me. #Saigon

[wonderingwendy]

At last Day one of AO 2023 - three, no make that four Canadians in action too. Crickey should be a cracker. Weather has been cooler, currently 16 with a high of 31 and some wind in the forecast - better for players and spectators if we avoid those mid 30s.

Managed to get in our first swim yesterday in the outdoor pool. Had the place to ourselves so I guess we were the crazy Canadians swimming in 24 degrees. Ate at Straight Outta Saigon last night - definitely crave worthy crispy tofu and broccolini on coconut rice. It’s taking us some time to get our bearings even though we’ve been here before. The city core has grown and we staying right in the middle of it. I’m reminded of Waikiki crowds and have my fingers crossed that we don’t have the same Covid results.

Wondering who will advance today. Go Canadians Go!

Straight outta Saigon ⭐⭐⭐

[setitoffau247]

Straight Outta Saigon Interior Wall Art

A graffiti mural for a Vietnamese interior feature wall, displaying a custom made neon sign on the raw brick wall compliments the mural setting with unique lighting. Furthermore, maintaining a grey-scale colour scheme relative to their interior and current fit-out. Allows for the artwork to sit on the feature wall and combine influences with the décor. The composition and balance of this piece remain well executed with the portrait sitting one third to the left and mountain ranges with water spanning the remaining of the wall.

The Movie in My Mind: Wicked

The Movie in My Mind: Wicked

WELCOME!! To a new post segment called The Movie in My Mind where I will be dream casting movie adaptations of musicals/plays. And as a bonus for my loyal followers/fans, I will be explaining my reasoning behind the casting. This post gets is name from my favorite musical Miss Saigon. Now before everyone attacks me please know this is solely my opinion and I would be open to having a discussion about this just DM me and be polite about it. Now, this is in no way official this is all just my opinion none of these people have actually been cast or have been considered for the roles as far as I’m aware of.

Now before we start this endeavor for this cast list my thoughts were the two lead women need to be veteran stage actresses. At first I tried to think of Hollywood names who could do the roles of Elphaba/G(a)linda, but I felt the best thing for this movie was to fill up the supporting characters with big names while the two female leads are Straight Outta Broadway (That was a bad joke... Sorry.) In the Honorable mentions, I did list several Hollywood big names who could potentially do the role as well. Please let me know what you think and DM me if you want to chat about it otherwise reblog and leave your comments. No hate when you do comment let’s keep this civil people.

Jessica Keenan Wynn as Elphaba

I don’t think you guys realize just how difficult it was for me to cast this role. This was extremely difficult! I kept going back and forth between either Hollywood actresses and Broadway actresses. I even once thought of maybe using a former Elphaba and then I realized “No let’s get some fresh blood up in here.” This casting choice was so extremely difficult! I ultimately ended up going with a stage actress because their voices would be best suited for the role of Elphaba. I ended up going with Jessica Keenan Wynn for the role because with her recently announced turn as Young Tanya in Mamma Mia and her star turn as Heather Chandler in Heathers proves she can be a fierce, belting warrior. I think Keenan Wynn would prove to be a formidable force as Elphaba. She can no doubt hit the high notes required while also acting her ass off as the green girl. I think her Elphaba would be superb and haunting while also hilarious and heartwarming. Also a plus as a way to promote the movie she can do the show on Broadway.

Honorable Mentions- Anna Kendrick, Lena Hall, Naya Rivera, Nicole Scherzinger, Samantha Barks

Sierra Boggess as Glinda

Boggess is perhaps best known for being in several productions of The Phantom of the Opera as Christine as well as portraying her in the sequel Love Never Dies. I think the role of Glinda has to be done by someone with stage experience because of the vocal range required for the role and I think Boggess would knock the role out of the park. Plus since she was Christine we know she can hit those high notes in “No One Mourns the Wicked” and “Thank Goodness” and she wouldn’t be the first woman to go from Christine to Glinda. Other actresses who have done this are Annalene Beechey, Asako Tomado, Gina Beck, Kim So-Hyun, Maria Coyne, Sara Jean Ford, Tamami Sai and Valerie Link. While she may not be a big Hollywood name I think that is better off for Glinda to be a veteran stage actress. Also just like Keenan Wynn as a way to promote the movie she can do the stage show as well.

Honorable Mentions- Brittany Snow, Emmy Rossum

Brendon Urie as Fiyero

Urie has wanted to broaden his horizons and he recently finished a stint as Charlie Price in Kinky Boots and his ridiculous fans would bring in tons of money. Plus from the bootlegs I’ve seen of him in Kinky Boots he’s actually not that bad.

Honorable Mentions- Adam Lambert, Zac Efron

Christopher Walken as The Wizard

Christopher Walken would bring in the older generations and he is no stranger to playing the villain in a show. He has also been in Peter Pan Live! and Hairspray so he has musical abilities.

Honorable Mentions- John Travolta, Mark Hamill

Jessica Lange as Madam Morrible

It’s Jessica Lange... Is there really any more I need to say? She has a cult fan base...

Honorable Mentions- Imelda Staunton, Liza Minnelli

Ben Platt as Boq

As much as I don’t like Dear Evan Hansen and how much Tony love it didn’t deserve Ben Platt did deserve the win. He is a good actor and his Pitch Perfect, as well as Dear Evan Hansen fame, would also draw a good audience.

Melissa Benoist as Nessarose

Besides the fact that she would bring in a wave of Glee fans she would honestly be thrilling to watch in this role. I have no idea why, but something about the thought of Melissa Benoist belting “Just her and me! The Wicked Witch of the East! We deserve each other.” Sends chills down my spine.

Honorable Mention- Auli'i Cravalho

Brian d’Arcy James as Doctor Dillamond

I think it would be nice if they gave this role to a veteran stage actor as well. Also with James having been in two cult shows 13 Reasons Why and Hamilton so he’d bring in a massive audience.

Honorable Mention- Robin Williams (I know he’s dead, but he would have been an amazing Dr. Dillamond)

Wicked Alumni Cameo’s

Idina Menzel as Witch’s Mother

Norbert Leo Butz as Witch’s Father

Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda’s Mom *I know it’s not a role in the show, but it would be cute if they added her in via picture or maybe dropping Glinda off at Shiz. It would be especially cute with Idina playing Elphaba’s Mom*

Jessica Vosk as Midwife

Others as Citizens of Oz, Emerald City residents, Students/Professors at Shiz University.
