what's on the menu?

we've been spoiled with a week of incredible dinners...first toad in the hole...and now this....


the lobster arrived this morning at about 9am...still alive from nova scotia...courtesy of mum and dad. i didn't know what to do with them when it arrived so i put the whole box in the fridge. that seemed to work bc the little buggers were still moving when we popped them in the boiling water this evening.

....and they were yummy....thanks mum and dad!!

wonder what will have tomorrow night...maybe grilled cheese sandwiches.

last night's dinner

last night jason and i managed to pull off a pretty decent toad in the hole....mum's recipe...thanks mum. i'd make it again.

yuummmm...

RIP Frankie Manning

frankie manning...the grandfather of lindyhop and the inventor of the very first arial move at the savoy ballroom, died early this morning, just a month shy of his big 95th birthday bash. he was a huge inspiration to all lindyhoppers including myself and will be sadly missed

the ani kyd blues experience

tonight ani was playing with her new band at chopper's dinner. they have a blues jam every sunday night now. it had a pretty good turn out for a cold and rainy sunday, partly b/c of a nice little blurb and pic in the georgia straight.

what's in a dream...?

the other night i had a dream....or a nightmare...not sure which.

happy easter!

it was a full day today starting with the easter bunny visit.

then after a great breaky of eggs and chocolate we braved the rain and headed to the antique car easter parade. i usually find easter parades pretty lame...but the idea of having a bunch of old cars ride by was a good one for sure.

a 1929 fire engine lead the parade with the easter bunny. apparently new westminster used this truck up until 1960... unbelievable!!


line up of cars on columbia st






before the parade started we entertained ourselves drinking our london fog lattes and watching cars being towed off of columbia st. it looks like someone messed up and didn't put up the event signs. they were hauling away car ofter car. not sure there allowed to do that....hmmm....


this was my favorite car of the day, and vauxhal victor


later in the day we went on a nice walk by city hall and fed the ducks and squirrels then headed home for an awesome lamb dinner :):)


:)

i'm free!!!!

today was the last day for me on supernatural season 4!!! it's a beautiful day :):):)
