VanYa

Posted on August 25, 2010 by

I was kind of craving Japanese food when I came home from work a day last week.  Chris was really hungry, which is not usually a good time to go out for sushi – you’ll be in the poor house … Continue reading →

Steamworks

Posted on August 16, 2010 by

I’ve been to Steamworks several times now since I moved to Vancouver – and nearly every visit has been somewhat related to work.  It should come as no surprise that Steamworks if a pub, which is conveniently located right next … Continue reading →

David Lebovitz’s “Lean Chocolate Sauce”

Posted on August 10, 2010 by

I love my Perfect Scoop cookbook!  Not only is every single page drool-worthy, but all of the recipes I’ve tried in it so far have turned out perfectly! Tonight, after a nice lighter supper of spaghetti with homemade slow-cooker bolognese … Continue reading →

Pourhouse

Posted on August 10, 2010 by

Another night out with folks from work – instead of going to our regular haunt, Steamworks, I though we could try Pourhouse.  Afterall, I had a Living Social coupon which I wanted to use up – I thought this would … Continue reading →

Tasty Village

Posted on August 8, 2010 by
