Probably the single most important product we use are diapers. Holy crap do we use a lot of diapers. I get quite excited when I go to Costco and see there is a coupon for diapers. Ahhh…the small pleasures we get from life now.

Establishing a Baseline
On April 17th 2009 my life changed forever; my partner and I gave birth to twin baby girls. Well, it was more her than me who gave birth, but everyone talks like it was a team effort. I will accept some credit for their birth but my goodness, my contribution was a lot more pleasurable than […]
I recently wrote a blog post about supporting local restaurants in this new year and I listed a few of my favourites.
One restaurant I forgot to mention was @hiel_cafe where like @cmarket_coffee , their food and drinks are equal part beautiful art and deliciousness.
Today I popped into the Hiel Cafe for a quick coffee break and was in love with this Lavender and Maple latte.
@hiel_cafe is definitely another of the local places that I will support in this new year.
I hope you can also find and support the local, family operated places that work for you and your family and serves your community.

My first loaf of sourdough bread for 2022. For this loaf I added a tablespoon of sugar to give the sourdough some “food” to digest while it was doing its first rise.
I’m pleased with the look of this loaf - now I wait to see what the inside crumb looks like.

Daughter and I were talking about Area 51 on our way to lunch.
We get to @fiveguys and this is our order number. Coincidence? I don’t think so!

Why yes, this is a perfectly balanced lunch for a Sunday afternoon. A sinfully rich and decadent butter tart filled doughnut with a healthy apple fritter to follow.
My beverage of choice today is my usual oat milk latte with a shot of macadamia nut syrup to add a hint of Christmas cheer.

Double shot of eggnog today @doughnutlove.ca . Eggnog latte with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a doughnut filled with whipped eggnog.
It’s only eggnog season for a short time so I choose to embrace the pure, rich goodness of eggnog.

Seeing as we can’t get up the Fraser Canyon yet, and my best therapy is to be amongst the trees, daughter and I headed up to the Westwood Plateau hiking trails.

Testing the Christmas treats @doughnutlove.ca .
Gingerbread doughnut blends all the gingerbread goodness and the wonder of a doughnut.
The Cranberry Orange Old fashioned brings together my three favourite flavours - cranberry, orange, and an old-fashioned doughnut.
And then the Butter tart doughnut. All the rich goodness of a butter tart nestled into a pillowy soft yeast doughnut.

And we’re home! A long week and a long (uneventful) drive home. Huge thanks to the Kanaka Band who have set up a Necessities Store that supports all community members AND they give away fresh produce that they grow in their local gardens.
