I tried Sushi Well in uptown New West for lunch the other day. I’m not sure if is actually new, or maybe it is just a rebranded Okonomi Sushi, the previous tenant in that location. Either way, I was pleased. The sushi was cut nicely to a perfect size – not the massive slabs of […]

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 […]
Sushi Town – Hastings Street
I was in North Burnaby yesterday around lunch time so I decided to try out the Hastings Street location of Sushi Town. I ordered the BC Combo – a BC Roll with an Alaska Roll and a piece of salmon and tuna sushi. It was all good. The salmon and tuna nigiri sushi were my […]
Sushi Moto in Burnaby
Even if I have eaten sushi two or three days in a row, when Mom says, “Let’s go for sushi, I found a great a new place!” I listen. And that is how I found Sushi Moto, a new sushi gem in the burbs of Burnaby. My Mom and sister had already visited Sushi Moto […]
Lunch at Kiku Sushi
After completing a long fast before getting a blood test done, I needed food and I needed it fast. So when I came out of the lab building and saw Kiku Sushi, the place to break my fast was obvious. Not in the mood to waste time, I ordered the sashimi lunch box. Even if […]
Sushi Koharu
I was in New West and I had a strong craving for sushi and I wanted to try something new rather than just go to my usual sushi places. And that’s how I ended up discovering the cute little Japanese owned and operated Sushi Koharu. The interior is decorated in a cute style. The single […]
Sashimi Lunch at Kawawa Sushi
A nice simple sushi dinner with my mom and American cousins this evening. I enjoyed a couple pieces of salmon and tuna, a sonumono salad and a mango pudding. Simple. Delicious.
Mega Sushi Lunch Break
I managed to get away to Mega Sushi in Coquitlam’s Austin Station for a late lunch today. I chose to keep it simple by ordering a salmon and tuna sashimi combo. Nicely cut sashimi. The tuna was buttery and tender. The salmon was also nice. Mega Sushi is located in the Austin Station located at […]
Gem Sushi For Lunch
A super quick lunch today at Gem Sushi in Coquitlam’s Como Lake Village shopping strip. I had the yam roll with a California roll and one of the tiny tuna rolls. It was okay. Not bad, not great.
A Couple Restaurant Updates
There have been a couple of changes in local restaurants recently and an exciting new opening you may be interested in hearing about. First, a place I tried over the Christmas break, the Onyx Steakhouse located in Port Moody’s Suterbrook neighborhood has suddenly closed. In its place will be another place I recently tried, Romer’s, […]
Happy Father’s Day to my dad. Unfortunately he is no longer with us here in his physical form. If he was, he would fit right in with all the other hipsters.

Mowed the “lawn” today. Good to know that in times of stress and uncertainty, trees are always there to listen and make things better.

Sometime ago and for reasons unclear to me, on my birthday my mom and my sister began making birthday cakes for me as if I was a 10 year old boy.
Maybe a bit odd, but you know, it is kind of fun to have a cake like a 10 year old would enjoy! Who doesn’t like Hot-wheel cars, trucks, and diggers on a cake?!
This year my sister continued the tradition.
While going through family photos recently we found a panorama style photo of our family home before it was burned in the Lytton Fire of 2014. The photo was obviously taken before there was a panorama feature on a camera!
Anyway, my sister recreated the scene using cream cheese icing (my favourite!) and a variety of edible decorations like pretzels, chocolate covered raisins, chocolate crumble, and more.
Aren’t sisters the greatest? This one got me right in the feeling part of my heart.

We spent some time looking at flowers this weekend. And a big tree. A really big tree.

For Christmas my aunt and uncle gave me a gift card to my favourite shop.
The shop where everything not only looks sharp, but they are all sharp! Yep, @houseofknives .
Seeing as I have more than enough pocket knives and I’m more than happy with my Fusion kitchen knives, I decided to use my gift card to get a multi-tool.
.
Yep. I got a new @leathermancanada Wave. This is a “life long purchase” because if you use/abuse it, the blades are replaceable.
I love that feature because honestly, when I’m on the farm, in the bush camping or hiking, or at the cabin, I like a tool or knife that I can rely on. And sometimes, some might even say I abuse my tools. To know the blades are replaceable is reassuring.
.
I’ll share some pics of my new tool in use as soon as I get out of the city.

I tried @wendyscanada breakfast this week. I had the Baconator breakfast sandwich with a side of the seasoned potato wedges.
The breakfast sandwich was seriously good. It has a fried egg on top of a lot of bacon. Lots of bacon. Which all sits on top of a grilled sausage patty.
.
The side of seasoned potatoes was good but they were cool by the time I started eating them. I know they’d taste better if I didn’t wait to eat them.
This is a serious breakfast sandwich. Very filling and very, very good taste! I couldn’t eat my lunch because I was so full from the Breakfast Baconator.
I will 100% have it again!

Long weekend vibes from outside of Lytton for the win. Beautiful weather, food, and company. And a bear getting an up close look at the @stealthcamgsm .
And yes, I added more family heirloom cast iron pans to the pan-wall!
What did you get up to on the long weekend? Do you consider the May long weekend the unofficial start of summer?
