It seems that the road on Dunmore hill is under construction yet again; as if we did not get enough of the nuisance last year. It took the city workers almost all summer last year to finish the road, and now I ask: Why is it under construction again? The road was smooth, except for a couple manhole covers, but that is to be expected, and easily avoid by a very slight turn of the wheel.

I am all for upgrading roads, but not when they do not require it, and not when it reduces traffic to a one-lane nightmare, although, I do admit watching people in my rearview mirror waving their hands around in detest is hilarious, as if every second they are held back from where they need to go is worth more to them than the air in their lungs.

I wish that the roads in Saskatchewan were half as good as they are here.

Sushi Miso is a quaint sushi restaurant located at 1561 Dunmore Road SE in Medicine Hat.

The food is prepared rather quickly and almost entirely made by hand, but nevertheless, I have never been disappointed. The restaurant boasts a wide selection of menu items, ranging from the archetypal raw fish to more “Americanized” sushi, which has chicken in it, to anything else you might ask for in a sushi restaurant.

The norm for me and friends to get is Miso Soup to start with, which is a salty broth filled with chives and tofu, followed by at least a roll (sliced into 6 smaller rolls) each, or three rolls (18) for two of us, or 5 rolls (42) for three of us. Despite looking like a small portion of food, one roll sliced into six smaller ones is enough to fill me up, and what is more, the ends of the roll are usually left untouched, so you get a little bit extra salmon, chicken, or whatever you ordered, sticking out of the ends.

The great thing about Sushi Miso is definitely the fact that it is not fast food and does not have all the additives and preservatives that other fast food places have. When I am done eating, I do not feel physically bad from eating it, as I might from McDonalds or any other fast burger place. Our bills at the end of the meal generally range between $6.00 and $10.00, comparable to most restaurants.

Magic: The Gathering

Friday Night Magic! 5:00PM until around 8:00PM. I personally go to this one often, as I have been in to Magic: The Gathering since in my early teens (off and on addiction). Magic: The Gathering is the most successful and longest running collectible card game (circa 1993) of all time.
