    Lunch with the kidlets at our local A&W today. I really enjoy the seven grain/whole wheat buns they use. 

  • Poutine and Banh Mi at The Rivermarket

    I was in New Westminster yesterday and jumped at the opportunity to go see what the New West waterfront/Front Street looks like now that the multi-level parkade has been taken down from Begbie Street over to 6th. My first impression is WOW. So much sunshine can now pour onto Front Street. Of course I also…

  • Boston Pizza for Lunch 

    I went for a lovely lunch at the Metrotown location of Boston  Pizza today with my mother and my sister. I had a plate of fettuccine noodles with a wonderfully complex Mediterranean pasta sauce. The sauce was loaded with grilled red peppers, red onions, spinach, and artichoke hearts, feta cheese, and more. Quite a complex…

  • Dessert at the 293 Wallace Street Restaurant

    Sunday I went for a motorcycle ride up the Fraser Canyon. Of course on my way back home I stopped for dinner at the 293 Wallace Street Restaurant in Hope. It had been a really long hot day of riding so I wasn’t too hungry; time for a salad. I had the Blue Cheese, Spiced Almond,…

  • Sashimi Lunch at Kawawa Sushi 

    A nice simple sushi dinner with my mom and American cousins this evening. I enjoyed a couple pieces of salmon and tuna, a sonumono salad and a mango pudding. Simple. Delicious.
