Ramen Bella on a Hot Summer Night
It was too hot to even think about cooking at home so the kids and I headed out to Ramen Bella for a bowl of steaming hot ramen.

Comfort Food at Ramen Bella
Last week on a cold and rainy night, one of my kids said, “Let’s go to Ramen Bella for some ramen. Ramen makes everything better!” Who am I to argue with such pure and beautiful logic? So we headed down past Coquitlam Centre mall, over to Westwood and into Ramen Bella for some simple and…

Ramen at Ramen Bella
I am too lazy to add text so here are pics of the ramen my daughter and I had at Ramen Bella in Port Coquitlam down off Lougheed near Westwood. It was delicious. There’s also a picture of a plate of chicken karage – which was everything good. The noodle pull!! Chicken karage – crispy,…

Kozak Ukrainian Eatery
The best thing to do on a cold and and rainy afternoon after you have just discovered that the last four hours of work you have done on a computer has not saved – go for a bowl of soup. Yesterday I was writing report cards – every teacher’s favourite way to while away the…

Snow Day and Vitamix Soup
Tuesday was a snow day.

National Bison Day
The first Saturday in November is National Bison Day. The day is meant to commemorate the economic, cultural, and historical significance of the Bison to North America. I’m not sure if eating Bison is an appropriate way to commemorate the majestic beast, but wow, this bowl of Bison soup from my friends at 293 Wallace…

Another Vitamix Win
Another Vitamix soup win. I got home from work, steamed up a half bag of frozen veggies and then poured them and the half cup or so of boiling water into the Vitamix container. I added a half cube of bouillon, a teaspoon of corn starch and then – going way off script, I added…

The Vita-Mix; My Favourite Appliance
One of my all time favourite kitchen appliances is my Vita-Mix. The Vita-Mix is so much more than a blender! I believe it has a 2 horsepower motor that drives the blade inside the container at something like 20,000 rpm. Crazy powerful. I used to use my Vita-Mix everyday because it is so easy to…
