Foodie Express Lunch
Quick lunch today between learning sessions. I chose the noodles with three lunch options. You know, all things considered, this was a pretty good meal for $10. Foodie Express is located in the Royal Plaza (right near the Starbucks) on the corner of McBride Ave and 8th Street in New Westminster.

Stanley Park Brewing Sun Setter Summer Ale
Typically I like a dark beer – a stout or a porter that has phrases like “hints of chocolate” or “coffee” and my favourite, “aged in oak bourbon barrels”. Yes, I like my beer the same as my humour; very dark. So when a friend offered me a couple bottles of Stanley Park Brewing’s Sun…

The Porta-Potty Blues
No matter what kind of educational and interesting places you take your kids, there are other things that children will always find significantly more intriguing.

Starbucks Caramelized Honey Latte
I received an email letting me know that the Wizards in the Starbucks lab had created a new drink – caramelized honey latte – and that I should try it. In fact if I did try it, they would give me three bonus stars on my Starbucks card. Who can resist bonus stars? So I…

My Return to Trattoria Burnaby
Friday afternoon I went for an early dinner to Trattoria Burnaby. I had recently been to Trattoria Burnaby for a business meeting but I wanted to go with some family to sample a wider variety of items from the menu. I don’t often mention restaurant servers (some of the hardest working people in the restaurant…
