Update: This restaurant has closed. It was Awkward Diner’s champagne birthday, so to celebrate we all went for dinner at The Blacktail Florist in Gastown. It was actually an awkward restaurant to find, as they didn’t really have a large sign at all. I only found it by following a sandwich board upstairs. Once inside […]
Fannypack and I have been running for around 10 weeks now and somewhere along the lines, we decided that we needed a goal. So to have something to show for our 10 weeks of training, her and I registered for the 5K portion of the Night Race 2014! The race happened last Friday at Stanley […]
I was extended an invitation by the Socialettes (a local all-women’s PR company) to attend the first ever Xpocity Vancouver event, held at the swanky Four Seasons Ballroom Vancouver. Xpocity Vancouver was described as a “social shopping” experience that combines a ladies evening out with product sampling and shopping. Sounds like a superb girls night […]
On a recent trip to the States, Aunt Aggy had recommended a frozen entrée from Trader Joe’s to me. It’s the Trader Joe’s Spicy Thai Shrimp Fried Rice ($3.99USD I believe….). She had raved and raved about it so I had to try it. The shrimp portion is in a separate baggy from the rice […]

One of my running days with Fannypack is on Sundays. It just so happens that every Sunday, there’s a Food Cart Fest Vancouver held at the Olympic Village. So naturally we made plans to go after our weekly Sunday morning run. It costs $2 to enter unless you’re a certain demographic (Vancity member or food […]
Fannypack and I have been at a running club for 3 weeks now, so we’ve been up and down a specific section of the Cambie strip for a while. Now we’ve noticed a little new Japanese restaurant called Shishinori serving Japanese style cafe-ish food. So we set a date to have dinner after one of […]
SheShe has finally returned from her mat leave and I was finally able to lock down a brunch date with her…believe me it’s been a super long time coming. We decided to go somewhere close and Browns Socialhouse was our choice. She has been there before numerous times for brunch and recommended it. We went […]
