I have been crazy busy this week with work and making plans to head off to Whistler for the Beer Festival so I haven’t had a chance to sit down and tickle the keyboard. I have to admit, I have also been out with my kids riding our bicycles -soaking up the last few days […]

The Soft Opening of Pepper Lunch Canada
I saw a note on Instagram about a new location of the Pepper Lunch restaurant having a “soft opening” event on Saturday and knowing that I was going to be dropping my family off at YVR that morning, I added a comment to say that I would attend the soft opening. When I walked in, […]
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 […]
Cabin-Cooking; Bone-in Prime Rib Steak

That is sort of […]
Cooking a Strip Loin Steak
Yesterday in my blog post about the Gammon bacon I mentioned the other piece of meat that I took along on my weekend trip to my cabin – the boneless strip loin steak from Meat Craft Urban Butchery. The strip loin was just over 13 ounces and honestly, it was enough to easily feed two […]
Bison Steak
On a recent trip to the cabin I decided to do something a little different. So I stopped at my local Theifty Foods and bought a bison strip loin steak. I laid it in one of my cast iron frying pans and cooked it under the broiler on the stove for five minutes each side. […]

Last week I wanted to go out for a family celebration with my mother and sister and we agreed upon the Cactus Club restaurant on Kingsway across from Metrotown. As it turned out, our choice was a good choice. I have not been in a Cactus Club restaurant for quite some time and I was […]
