Well, seeing as my Toyota Echo now has more than 300,000 kilometers on it, I have decided it is time to start looking for a new replacement vehicle. With the price of gas going through the roof, I thought the logical thong to do is to buy an electric car. But then I did some […]

Tesla Model S Test Drive
I recently had the opportunity to go for an extended test drive in a Tesla Model S. In case you don’t know, the Model S is the Tesla sedan. It is a four door car that reminded me of an old school Crown Victoria. It felt big, heavy, and secure on the road. The Model […]
Venison Vs Farmed Salmon
Funny thing happened to me this weekend. A thing that made me go hmmmm… Let me back up a bit. Last fall a friend of mine who lives near the Kootenays – actually his home is in what is known as Boundary Country – the area between the Okanagon and the Kootenays gave me three […]
Taking a Social Media Break
Funny thing happened in late January; I decided to take a social media break – I took a hiatus from social media. My desire to take a little break was not because of the Faceplant whistleblower event that demonstrated that FB cares more about profits than about their user’s mental health. Nope. Besides, who didn’t […]
State of the Art
Here’s an interesting thought. All throughout time, when you are being “sold” something, the people doing the selling will tell you that what they are selling is “state of the art”. You know that ratty old car on the road? When someone bought it, years ago, they were told that it was state of the […]
Ramen at Ramen Bella
I am too lazy to add text so here are pics of the ramen my daughter and I had at Ramen Bella in Port Coquitlam down off Lougheed near Westwood. It was delicious. There’s also a picture of a plate of chicken karage – which was everything good. The noodle pull!! Chicken karage – crispy, […]
Spatchcock Turkey for Christmas
As I’ve previously written, I’m not a big fan of turkey. It’s just not a type of meat I’m crazy about. – I find it too dry. So people often say things like brine the turkey. Or cook it breast down. Or inject it with liquified butter. Or dry brine it. Or deep fry the […]
The Year To Support Local
I’m not one for making New Years resolutions. I find them pretty much useless. So this year instead of making any resolutions, my goal is to “support local.” But let me back up a bit and explain what I am talking about. What I have done in the past is choose a word or a […]
Thoughts on Aging
You don’t stop skateboarding because you’re old – you grow old because you stop skateboarding. Add any other activity in place of skateboarding. Keep doing what you love to do!
Merry Christmas 2021
I hope that everyone is having a wonderful and merry Christmas this year. Good wishes to one and all.
Long weekend vibes from outside of Lytton for the win. Beautiful weather, food, and company. And a bear getting an up close look at the @stealthcamgsm .
And yes, I added more family heirloom cast iron pans to the pan-wall!
What did you get up to on the long weekend? Do you consider the May long weekend the unofficial start of summer?

I’ve got an idea! A doughnut buffet! You just walk up and help yourself to whichever kind you want. Genius idea.
Today @doughnutlove.ca I had the mango habanero glazed doughnut and my sidekick had the salted caramel. Both winning taste sensations.

I told the kids they can gave whatever they want for dinner.
Do we had air fryer Oreos. And you know, sometimes kids make good choices!
Air fryer Oreos are like a trip down memory lane to when I was eating beignets in New Orleans.

Cool capture by my @stealthcamgsm. Momma bear and two cubs. Can you see the second cub? It’s kind of hiding.

Cabin cooking this weekend. Slices of brisket off the @traegergrills sitting on a bed of caramelized onions.
Sides of oven roasted fennel bulb and broccoli. My favourite way to eat - slow cooked food in the @fieldcompany cast iron pan.

Traveled the Fraser Canyon as a passenger this weekend so I was able to enjoy a flight of beers @mtnviewbrewing in Hope! Usually I’m the driver so this was a welcome change.
Along with my flight of beers I had the roasted chicken and kale wrap. Can you say “massive wrap”? Wow. What a feast. And it is loaded with kale so it was a healthy feast.

Went for a little walk and ended up @doughnutlove.ca Oops. Still got some exercise, right?
And the Easter bunny was here and left a few eggs on an old fashioned doughnut for me!
Add in my once a week treat of an oat milk latte and I’m a happy man.
