Bear Creek Golf Club

Finally, my first golfing experience! To Bear Creek Golf Club we went, and I was paired up with 2 Mr. Bs from the office, along with another member.

It was nice outside, sunny, slightly windy, and no signs of rain :)


My first time on a cart...


This is really nice golf course...I wished my lawn back home is like this. To date, I've only been on a driving range once, and this sure is a fun and exciting experience. After a few (bad) shots, I finally got the "clink" (the pleasant sound you hear as the club hits the ball on the sweet spot).



So close and yet so far. I ended up with my first bogey of the day! Yes, I am happy with a bogey :) (no judging my skills here...!)

After the golf game ended, there was dinner...Steak dinner! What a pleasant end to the day. It was a buffet-style dinner for the veggies, sadly not for the steak.



Nevertheless, the steak was nicely done. Just enough seasonings and the right amount of grilling.


3.75/5

Desserts followed after, and the offerings include marbled cheesecake, chocolate mocha cake, and a tray with a mix of mini desserts (those you'd find in regular grocery stores). The mini cream puffs were like usual...pure DECADENCE!

Milos Steak House & Pizza

Went on an unthordox engineering meeting today. First we went to tour the Cutbank/Musreau plant, followed by white-water rafting! How I wished every meeting was like this :) It was fun and great for viewing the inner personalities of people you work with.

After the exhausting exercise, we decided to go for dinner at a local diner. A few of us started with the soup to warm the stomach...

Minestrone soup was what they had on that day...

It was so so, tasted like it's out of the can with mushy pasta (or maybe it is...)

2.5/5

Next came the entrees...a colleague decided to go Greek and ordered the beef kebab (everything's got to do with beef in Alberta!).



The portion's pretty big, and the salad looks awesome (I love feta...), but the kebab looks a tad dry...being hungry as we were, no one's complaining.

For myself, I got the steak with the fixings...


Baked potato just won't do without these lovely companions...



A close-up of the medium rare beef...



Steak was medium rare as ordered (good stuff), but it seems small (or maybe I was too hungry...). The garlic toast was a bit too toasty (hard in a sense), but the baked potato was definitely a win for a starving man.

3.25/5

Good "meeting" overall, a really enjoyable day. Thanks for the ride home Mr. H!
