The Okanagan Valley is a special place in BC – I think it has a little bit of magic surrounding it. In summer and early fall, it becomes the fruit basket and wine glass of Canada. Orchards, and vineyards as far as the eye can see – dotting the shores of Okanagan Lake, home of the mythical Ogopogo Sea Monster. Interspersed in all that lush
Wordless Wednesday: Raspberry Jam
Food Photography Notes I’m not going to give a blow by blow because it is Wordless Wednesday but, I’ve been playing with some Florabella Actions in Photoshop for these image (except the top one – that was all done in LR). I started in LR, did a quick export to Photoshop, ran the actions and then saved back to Lightroom to finish up with sharpening,
Vancouver Food Cart Fest
Vancouver has long been at the forefront of the food truck scene in Canada and has been named one of the top three food cart cities in North America. So it’s really no surprise that numerous festivals throughout the city advertise a heavy food truck presence. But it was only last year that a full on Food Cart Fest was organized, running every weekend throughout
Wordless Wednesday: Pizza, Cocktails & Sunsets
Fig and duck prosciutto pizza, charcuterie and cocktails at Vancouver’s Grain Tasting Bar and summer sunsets at English Bay.
I. Am. Canadian. So Happy Canada Day!
With the typical Canadian opener of “I’m Sorry”, I apologize to all my non-Canadian readers. You see, today is Canada Day! Canada’s 146th birthday. We’re kind of a baby in the grand scheme of country birthdays. I love that our birthday is July 1st. It’s the weekend the country wakes up fully from it’s long winter’s nap. Cottages are opened, canoes and kayaks are put
Wordless Wednesday: Summer Fairs – the PNE
I kind of liked doing Wordless Wednesdays the last few weeks and even though I seem to be shifting out of my funk, I thought I’d keep doing them. It lets me share photos that might not be about food. This week, in the spirit of summer fair season coming and the notice that the PNE is hiring their fair staff, here are some photos
Wordless Wednesday: Mosaic Chef’s Tasting Menu June 14th – June 28th
Even though I feel like I’m slowly getting my writing groove back, I find I kind of like doing these Wordless Wednesday posts. So I think I might keep doing them. It’s a nice way to share photos. Today’s are from the new Chef’s Tasting Menu at Vancouver’s Mosaic at the Hyatt. It’s running from June 14th – 28th. I got to taste every dish
Wordless Wednesday: Italian Style
From a trip to Granville Island market last week – some fresh artichoke and sundried tomato ravioli from Zara’s Italian Deli and Cannoli from Stuart’s Bakery. And the heliotrope at the bottom smells like cherry pie so it gets included.
Wordless Wednesday: Steveston Sunset
I’m doing a wordless Wednesday post today because honestly, I have no words right now. Been in a funk for a few weeks. But, getting out for fish and chips and watching the sunset by the sea last night helped a little bit. Click through the images if you want a larger look. Hope you all had a good Wednesday!
Wordless Monday
I know… it’s supposed to be Wordless Wednesday… with all the “w” letters… it’s clever, right? But whatever… I have other things planned for Wednesday. Or maybe Thursday. We’ll see how the week goes. At any rate… I’m pretty much never wordless so it’s not even a wordless Monday. What it is, is “A Bunch of Pictures Monday”. Because, I have a bunch of pictures.
