Day-Tripping to Steveston for a Sockeye Salmon
We headed out to Steveston today to see what all the fuss about the sockeye salmon run is all about. As it turned out we did not see any salmon running anywhere but we did see many of them being carried around in plastic bags. However, before we could do anything about the sockeye salmon, [...]
Wordless Wednesday’s Foodie Tour of the PNE
Our family-day-foodie-tour of the PNE this year… And then we walked over to the rides section. The girls were nonplussed by the rides; Knowing we were going to the PNE I skipped breakfast because I knew all the nutritious food that we would encounter… Our first encounter with mini-donuts… More mini-donuts, this time from Mr [...]
Dining Aboard the Regent Seven Seas Navigator
Well after a little delay, my promised post about the food services available to the passengers on the Regent Seven Seas Navigator is ready to go. The original plan was for me to have lunch in the Navigator’s steakhouse concept restaurant, Prime 7. However, that did not come to pass. While I did not get [...]
A Visit Aboard the Regent Seven Seas Navigator
I am home again after visiting the Regent Seven Seas Navigator. Ahh…the Navigator….a world unto itself. A world where the service level is unparalleled, where at every turn there is a smiling crew member welcoming you aboard, offering assistance, offering a glass of Champagne. Ahh…the Navigator. I was intrigued by the Regent Seven Seas Navigator [...]
It is Lobster Fest Tonight
Who knew that lobsters can fly? Yesterday my neighbours dad went down to the local lobster plant, in New Brunswick and watched a lobster boat come in with its load of lobsters. The lobsters were sorted, cooked and frozen right there in front of him. After seeing this little food preparation spectacle unfold in front [...]
A Visit to the Dragon Palace
Earlier this week we were out late in the afternoon with the wee uns and we were just too tired to go home and make dinner for the kids. Seeing as I detest most take-out, other than some sushi or pizza, our choices were quite limited. So what did we do? We wheeled into one [...]
Day Tripping to Granville Island for Gallo Mussels
On Sunday we took the twins to our favourite place in the city, Granville Island. Unlike the brave souls who engage in the blood sport of finding a parking spot on Granville Island, we park a block away and walk down to the Market. Although we often like to go to Granville Island to soak [...]
Dats Deli Meats Recall Widens…and Add in Some Freybe Meat Products
Bad news for the meat eating crowd; more deli meats are being recalled due to Listeria contamination. Freybe brand Ham Suelze that was purchased prior to July 28 should not be eaten, says the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. In what I find to be a troubling aspect of this recall, Freybe products, like the Dats [...]
A Little Time on the Foodie Beat
A couple of Foodie items today. Today I attended a late afternoon business meeting downtown Vancouver. Of course all of us who attended were missing our dinners or were expecting to be home late for dinner so the sandwiches provided for us were very appreciated. Seeing as I am a vegetarian (a vegetarian who eats fish) I [...]
The Terminal Pub in New West Gets a Makeover
Recently I had the pleasure of taking a couple of my New Westminster clients out for a working lunch. Seeing as they were based in New West, I thought it might be nice to try out something other than the River’s Reach Pub. So we made our way to the Terminal Pub. Now I have to [...]
