As I watched the TV Show, The Big C, there was a part where the main character, Cathy (Laura Linney), visits Dr. Sherman, her Cancer doctor. Dr. Sherman tells her that he loves Italy and its idea of "Il Dolce Far Niente" which means "The Sweetness of Doing Nothing".
This struck me because the show is about Cancer, implying that life is short, and here we see this being brought up by Cathy's Cancer doctor implying it's fun to do nothing.
It's very a interesting phrase since nowadays with the fast-paced world that technology has brought upon the us, everyone seems to be rushing and trying to beat the clock and jamming as much information as they can. The current world has made us feel guilty when we do nothing, making us feel like we're stupid, wasting time and are slackers.We forget about this subtle art.
Sometimes it's just really fun and refreshing to cut-back and do nothing!

Restaurant: It's about time people you go to About Thyme!
After reading Monkey See, Monkey Feast's blog on About Thyme, mouth drooling with the thought of foie gras poutine, I decided to go on the road trip to visit this hidden gem.
Situated at Lincoln, Ontario (3457 King Street, Vineland, Ontario L0R 2C0, Canada), 30 minutes from Niagara-On-The-Lake, this was a perfect in-between stop before doing wine tasting tours at Niagara-On-The-Lake.
For all duck lovers and adventurous eaters, the Bistro Poutine is heavenly! A big batch of yukon gold fries smothered with foie gras sauce, duck confit and aged cheddar. They don't scrimp on the toppings as you can get the sauce, cheese and duck with each fry you get. Also, what I really love as well is that despite all these toppings, the fries are still crispy as ever and didn't get soggy! I would definitely go back just to have another shot at this poutine! Price is $12. (Sidebar: This is good for sharing between 3-5 people as appetizers. There was actually a couple, who ate for lunch, that just ordered spinach salad and bistro poutine. They couldn't even finish the poutine!)
We also tried their Mussels of the Day (comes with Fries). That day came with cream of leek and smoked bacon. Small portion (~30 mussels) is $8 for small.

Here they are!
1. We would tell your parents to shop at nicer places, but... your mom is so poor she can't even pay attention!
2. You guys hear how poor Cartman's mom is?! His mom is so poor the ducks throw bread at her!
3. Cartman's mom is so poor that when she goes to KFC, she has to lick other people's fingers!
4. My mom is so poor, when she heard about the Last Supper she thought she was running out of food stamps!
5. My mom is so poor she waves around a popsicle and calls it air conditioniiing.
6. My mom is so poor she uses Cheerios for earrings.
7. Oh heell no, my momma's so poor she opend a GMail account just so she could eat the spam!

10. Let's put our hands up, everyone! 'Cept for Jacob. His mom's so poor she only understands hand-OUTS!
11. Awwww my mom is so poor she walked down the road with one shoooe. [backs up] And if you ask her if she lost a shoe, she'd say "No I found ooone."
