Bump N Grind Cafe had a second baby and I was invited to the baby shower! It was actually a grand opening media event for their brand new South Granville location and I was extended an invite to try their goodies and have a one-night only signature drink. This is the second location for husband and […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. Abigail’s Party is a restaurant that’s offering a $28 Dine Out menu this year. They’ve always been a restaurant I’ve wanted to try, but in previous years, their dine out menu didn’t entice me at all. This year though, for some reason, their simple offerings of steak frites and fried […]
I’ll be honest with you. Wildebeest was not on my list of restaurants to try after looking at the menu. The only thing that looked remotely interesting to me was the Bison Carpaccio. But I DID tell Fannypack to pick the restaurants and for once she did! So I bit my tongue and went with […]
Another year, another Dine Out Vancouver! This year I’ve decided to stay with the $28-$38 range of restaurants as I think those give you the best value for your money. The first one for me this year is Shaughnessy Restaurant located at the Van Dusen Gardens. I’m all for exotic game meats, so when I […]
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 […]
To promote the upcoming 7th annual Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival happening this Saturday August 16 at Whistler Blackcomb, the Dairy Farmers of Canada has invited some media to a special cheesy luncheon held at Forage. The Cheese Rolling Festival is an annual family event that features costume contests, cheese tastings, and of the main spectacle […]
Update: This restaurant has closed. To wrap up our coverage of this year’s Tastes of Latin America festival, we bring you a long overdue review of Poncho’s Mexican Restaurant. Poncho’s is Vancouver’s second-longest running Mexican restaurant, and they are the longest-running if you base it on never having moved locations. They’ve been at the West […]
