Buds on the trees and a different coloured poppy everyday. It’s true. I planted. I bought some $2.00 plants at home depot, dug a few holes, carefully opened the roots, plopped them in the holes and ta-da. Then it rained, and instead of being grumpy, I thought about how convenient it was to have a [...]
Earth day…like as opposed to Seceratary’s Day or Mother’s Day? I have to admit, I am not the biggest fan of ”days.” Holidays are one thing but random days that hardly anybody knows about until it’s all over CNN as you sit there with your morning coffee feeling like crap because it’s not fair trade just seems a little easy. Especially [...]

Hope you all had a nice weekend! Ever since Friday, when Ash and I served homemade Coq au Vin to our wonderful friends, I have been on a recipe rampage. Tonight I’m making Chana Punjabi with the spice kit my mother bought Ash from Vij’s Rangoli. I found the recipe on the blog, The Wednesday Chef, who writes: “I have been [...]

A few more photos for your weekend. This reminds me of our patio on Santorini. Nearly the same view. Worlds apart. This is where you’d find me most. Scratch that. Here.

Specifically, this treehouse, perched on the rocks of Passage Island. This amazing place is just a 5 minute water-taxi from Fisherman’s Cove, West Vancouver. It’s listed for $399,000 – why does that seem like such a deal? 100% self-sufficient…solar panels….generators… views to kill for… How good would a latte and a book be in this very spot? Grey clouds have dropped [...]

When it’s all sun and cherry blossoms in Vancouver, it’s hard to imagine that a short 1.5 hour drive away you could be faced with snow - and lots of it. All over the trail and in your way while you’re trying to be active so you can justify drinking more champagne. That’s why in the pictures below [...]

I love when people email me to say they’re going to try one of the many champagnes we’ve dutifully tested here (ha!). Just before the long weekend, I received a note from Kristin of BonBon Rose telling me she was off to pick up a bottle of Wolf Blass for her and her hubby! I was [...]

The only thing I could possibly love more than champagne is a long weekend. Throw in a fourth day and now we are talking! Ash and I decided to step a day ahead (since today is untechnically Friday) and start celebrating Champagne Wednesday on Tuesday. Then when Wednesday came around, we couldn’t leave it unmarked [...]

The Fallafel, of course. Yum (thanks for the reminder, Dorie). In the spirit of cheap eats, we will seek one out this weekend and on Sunday, we’ll be visiting the new Vancouver Convention Centre for a free tour. They’re hosting events over the weekend between 10am and 4pm with highlights including a six-acre grass and wildflower roof. Photos shall be taken [...]

Yet another reason I love my sheep dog. I got chills when I saw this video. Made me happy Ash bought a Samsung! As seen on the Smart + Saavy blog.
