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 […]
Eating
All the food we eat.
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 […]
Veggie Dogs Vs the Mystery Meat Wiener
I was at a barbecue earlier today. The objects being barbecued were hotdogs. The good folks organizing the communal feast were kind enough to recognize and accomodate me being a vegetarian. They brought along veggie dogs for me. The funny part of this story is that when serving me a veggie dog, the person at the […]
New McDonald’s TV Spots
Okay, so does anybody else see the weird humour in the new McDonald’s commercials? The new TV commercials have a bunch of young hipsters eating McDonalds food while sitting around a camp. Suddenly a massive bear arrives at the the camp and just ambles through, looks around and then walks away. So what is the bear thinking? […]
Fresh Asaparagus Season…I’m Lovin’ It
Dinner tonight is fresh asparagus. It is actually almost getting to the end of asparagus season but I LOVE fresh asparagus. I will only buy it in the spring so that I know it is not being brought in from Chile…how can it be fresh when it is flying all the way from Chile? I […]
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.
