Restaurants in Crisis
by stacey
I hate to say it, but the Canadian restaurant industry is in really serious trouble. The current global pandemic is wreaking havoc on the restaurant business – in particular, family operated and independent restaurants.

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.

Received my new @gothamwatches in the mail. I’m loving it. My kid asked if the accompanying monocle is coming in a separate package. Kids!
Feels cool to have this new watch in my pocket. Substantial feel to the watch without it being too heavy.

Sign at the pool says “no outside shoes beyond this point”.
95% of people at the pool this morning read it as saying “Look furtively around and then proceed on tiptoe in your boots as your boots drop clumps of mud on the pool deck where little children are walking barefoot.”
