Romer’s for Dine Out 2016
I am still in Vancouver’s very trendy neighborhood of Yaletown doing some intensive training work. Tonight instead of working through dinner we took a short break and were able to wander off on our own for dinner. I chose to stop in at Romer’s Yaletown location.

Minami Sushi Yaletown
My favourite from the first course was the scallop. A flavour explosion of creamy, seafood goodness. As well, this tiny sprig of sea cucumber was wild. All these flavours happening at once!

A&W Burgers for Lunch
A late lunch of A&W burgers, actually an after school snack, with my little Bears today. The classic Teen Burger with a couple of Buddy Burgers, a side of fries and another side of onion rings. To me, the Teen Burger is the best fast food burger available in our city.

A Perfect Blast of Sunshine
On a cold and rainy afternoon there is nothing quite as wonderful as a little jar of home canned peaches. A perfect little blast back to the hot days of summer.
