Full of veggies at Pita Pit

Pita Pit Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato The Pita Pit next to Uncle Fatih's at Commercial Drive Skytrain Station always looks empty when I'm going by, but not this past Wednesday evening before the Improv Against Humanity show at the Rio Theatre. That always made me hesitant to try it, but I was glad I did.

Nice clean space inside, and a clean but "hidden" washroom -- ask the staff where it is. They probably keep it incognito to avoid a steady stream of non-paying customers coming to use it.

The menu makes it really easy to get vegetarian and vegan options here. And if you think more veggies = healthy, then this place is a winner.

TIP: Our order also came with a free $1-off coupon. It has two sizes: $1 off a smoothie, and $1 off a pita, and you can use both sides at the same time. This means I could repeat my order for a less-than-$10 lunch! Or, you can wait for your friend to order first and use their coupon...

Spicy Black Bean Famous Pita ($6.99 Petita size, $8.49 Regular size) Vegan
  • Choice of white or whole wheat pita.
  • Strangely, my Petita Size pita was about the same size as my friend's Regular size one. Might be they packed more veggies in it.
  • You can ask for "everything" and they'll put a LOT of veggies into your pita, so much that the filling you are buying starts to look token.
    • TIP: Do not use olives like I did, or use them only very sparingly. The sourness will overpower the flavours of everything else.
    • I did isolate the flavour of the black bean and it was mediocre.
  • The Black Bean patty is chopped up and seared. If you ask for shredded cheese, they can also melt that right onto the patty.
  • The pita is rolled tight and you can have the option of toasting it.
  • Not very spicy despite the name. They can add more hot sauce for you, though.
  • For $7 you get a more filling fast-food item than, say, a fast food chain burger, and at approximately the same price. You are mainly buying a thick veggie roll that's got way more veg than a burger. Into this they put one burger patty worth of filling.
  • Overall, price for portion is OK and all that veggie can be reasonably filling.

Blackberry Probiotic Smoothie ($2.99 snack size, $4.99 regular) 10-fruit probiotic juice, blackberries, frozen yogurt
  • My snack size smoothie came so full it was basically overflowing.
  • Fairly thick and tasty! Because it's thick, a snack size was enough for me.

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines). Here's the e-mail exchange: Melissa e-mail #1 Here is my picture as attached. Please e-mail me details what you are looking for along with your pictures. Thanks and waiting to hear from you soon.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
