I love fresh in season corn. I love fresh in season local corn even more. The first of the in season local corn showed up in my local grocery store just before I left for my vacation to Vancouver, BC.  This post was meant to go up while I was away, I took the photos…

Rangoli Restaurant Menu

Bittersweet. That’s what yesterday was for me. So close, yet so far. On my last trip out to Vancouver, BC, nearly 15 years ago, Vikram Vij’s restaurant Vij’s was on my radar of must hit up places to dine. It didn’t work out that visit. they don’t take reservations so it’s a first come first…

Easy Sushi

I love sushi. I do. I do. I do. I had my first taste of sushi on my first trip to Vancouver, British Columbia. I’ve been pretty much hooked ever since. I love the way the wasabi burn starts in the back of my sinuses and then rushes to the back of my head and…

I love fresh homemade flour tortillas. Around here, pretty much the only ones you can buy at the store are your run of the mill commercial tortillas. Yes, they’re convenient,which matters if you’re in a rush or you just can’t be bothered to make your own or you just don’t want to.  Yes, they’re perfectly…

One of my favourite seasons of all is Fall and nothing beats Fall in the Maritimes! I love when the air takes on a crispness in the mornings and evenings, how the days are warm and the leaves change to their vibrant Fall hues. The opportunity to go on a short Fall getaway in the…
