Port Moody’s Sushi & Roll
We needed a quick snack to tide us over until we got home for dinner so we stopped at Sushi & Roll. Yep. A sushi joint sandwiched between a hookah shop and a McDonald’s and right across the road from a motorcycle and boat sales shop on the non-descript strip of St Johns between Moody…

I was in Vancouver near Granville Island the other day for a meeting so I took the opportunity to drive down onto Granville Island and … gasp … I got A PARKING SPOT!! After my meeting, my daughter and I wandered around the market a little and visited The Lobsterman. Daughter was intrigued by the…

Hakkaku Ramen; Comfort Food
Sometimes when the load we are carrying becomes unusually heavy we need to hit the pause button in life and have a bowl of soup. Vietnamese pho has been my go-to for comfort in a bowl. However, yesterday I found a new source of comfort – a massive bowl of ramen. I was in Burnaby…

Lunch; Steak and Potatoes
Good old lunch of steak and potatoes with a little sautéed broccolini to make it even more healthy. The potatoes are fingerlings. Steamed. Best eaten dipped in a creamy dip. The broccolini is cooked by adding it to a large pan that is already hot. Let it cook until it gets dark green and then…
