SteakCamp at Brave Bull tonight - Vancouver then and Now on 6/23/08 by Roland AtRolandTanglao.com Tanglao
Check out <a href="http://www.miss604.com/2008/06/the-brave-bull-and-steakcamp.html">SteakCamp</a> which is tonight at The Brave Bull at Clark and Hastings (join them if you wish), organized by <a href="http://hummingbird604.com/">Raul</a>. However good or bad the food is, I love <a href="http://miss604.com/">Rebecca</a>'s and others meta reflections on how we could be losing a certain Vancouver "essentialness" as neighbourhoods like Brave Bull's gentrify and change.<br>

Mini mini review - La Buca on 3/25/08 by Roland AtRolandTanglao.com Tanglao
Since we haven't been doing so great at writing restaurant reviews, I'm going to start writing even briefer reviews. <a href="http://www.labuca.ca/">La Buca </a>(<a href="http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=4025+macdonald+street&sll=49.891235,-97.15369&sspn=28.182858,82.353516&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr">4025 MacDonald Street</a>, 604.730.6988) is a simply decorated but smart looking restaurant in the middle of nowhere (OK it's in Dunbar but there ain't much there). Compact (I always wonder how they make money with such a small room) enough that they can't fit an espresso machine but expansive in flavours. It's well priced Italian menu full of classics. e.g. a very large portion of spaghetti vongole for $17.50 and and Coniglio in umido (rabbit, porcini, etc) for $24.50. We usually share an appetizer, one of their big pastas and a main between two and come away with a happy tummy and a reasonable load on our bank balance. And it's even decently kid friendly. We've seen parents with their kids when they open at 5p.m. so we're thinking of bringing our four year old the next time! Make a reservation or show up at opening time, they are always busy! Highly recommended. <br>
The Great Food Challenge on 1/16/08 by Barb Wong
I love a good food challenge. Not that food should be challenging. I just like to push myself a bit, think out of the box and try out new ingredients, cooking methods and flavours. <br><br>We have been thrown the ultimate challenge. The Kid has undergone some preliminary allergy testing and we have to put him on a 2 week food elimination trial: <br>-no shellfish<br>-no wheat<br>-no rice<br>-no eggs<br><br>No shellfish, no problem. We're not huge shellfish eaters.<br><br>No wheat. OK...<br><br>No eggs. Fine.<br><br>No rice. What?! He's Asian! What's he going to eat?!<br><br>Actually, after some initial research, there are plenty of grains he can eat. Luckily we have a varied diet and the Kid is receptive to trying new things. It's all a matter of being creative and open to experiment. <br><br>Hopefully the Kid won't be bored and won't feel deprived. I'm sure we'll have some interesting items to post as we undertake this challenge.<br><br>

Baking Bread on 11/30/07 by Barb Wong
I can't remember the last time I bought a loaf of "regular" bread. "Regular" bread meaning a loaf of whole wheat or multigrain sandwich bread. Over the last few months I've been experimenting with different whole wheat bread recipes and have come up with one that I'm happy with.<br><br>This <a href="http://www.vaneats.com/recipes/baking/wholewheatbread">loaf</a> is pretty basic: whole wheat and unbleached flours, yeast, butter, honey, water, salt. The variations are limitless: vary the proportion of whole wheat to unbleached flours, throw in other flour or grains, seeds or nuts.<br><br>I've found that yeast is very forgiving. If I'm proofing the dough and don't have time to shape it, I'll quickly punch it down and come back to it later. I love the idea that the bread making process fits into our household rhythm.<br><br><br>
Progressive Dinner November 2007 on 11/3/07 by Barb Wong
Roland and I live in a townhouse community with some great food lovers. A few years ago we started having progressive dinners. Tonight's theme was small plates. <br><br>Heather and Andrew's (Spanish tapas):<br>-sauteed prawns and scallops with roasted pumpkin puree and spicy sauce<br>-Spanish beet salad<br>-olive bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil for dipping<br><br>Barb and Roland's (local, seasonal):<br>-roasted kabocha and pear soup with homemade cracker sticks<br>-a "deconstructed" streudel filled with wild mushroom and duck confit ragout accompanied with salad of pea shoots and celeriac in truffle honey vinaigrette<br>-homemade focaccia<br><br>Sharon and Alex's (desserts galore):<br>-tiramisu<br>-gingerbread biscotti<br>-brie with pistachio honey drizzle<br><br>Of course our meal was accompanied by lots of great wine, sherry and dessert wine. <br><br><br>

Circle Farm Tour on 11/2/07 by Barb Wong
In the Lower Mainland we are fortunate to be surrounded by rich agricultural land that produces food for our area as well as across Canada. <a href="http://circlefarmtour.com">Circle Farm Tours</a> highlight some of the great food producers in the Fraser River area. The tours are self-guided and focus on a small region such as Abbotsford, Langley, Mission.<br><br>This past weekend I checked out the <a href="http://http://circlefarmtour.com/index.php?page_id=213">Agassiz-Harrison Mills Circle Farm Tour</a> and made a few stops.<br><br>The Back Porch: Pottery meets freshly roasted coffee. The coffee is roasted in small batches in a 1919 Flame Roaster. I picked up some dark roast Columbian coffee. The barn houses some fabulous (and reasonably priced) antiques. Also picked up some tulip bulbs produced by <a href="http://www.tulipsofthevalley.com">A&B Tulips of the Valley</a>.<br><br><a href="http://www.farmhousecheeses.com">The Farm House Natural Cheeses</a>: handmade artisan cheeses made from their own dairy cow and goat milk. The range of different cheese "styles" and types is impressive for a small cheese producer. I picked up a luscious round of Florette goat cheese (bloomy rind that is slightly gooey yet firm in the centre) and a piece of their Alpine Gold, a washed rind cheese similar to Oka.<br><br><a href="http://www.limbertmountainfarm.com/">Limbert Mountain Farm</a>: idyllic farm that specializes in organic herbs and herb products. They offer light lunches, delightful baked goods and afternoon tea. Definitely a spot to revisit in the summer for a guided herb walk and lunch.<br><br>On the way to Agassiz, I also popped into the <a href="http://www.thefortwineco.com">Fort Winery</a> in Fort Langley and picked up a bottle of fruit wine. Their line of unique fruit wines capture the best of locally produced fruit.<br><br><br><br>

Tips To Get The Most Out Of Your Vacation
By AuroIN
It‘ll be always fun to get away, after those grinding work schedules, and a vacation with or without family is a helluva time to relax and rejuvenate. However, just packing your knapsacks and heading to any destination is not the right approach towards a meaningful vacation. Choose a location that abounds in a variety of sorts, and book the right vacation rentals that provide you a pleasant unwinding. The abundance of outdoor recreational activities, top-of-the-line shopping, entertainment, and dining, mouthwatering array of cuisine, and the ambiance and exquisiteness of the area are factors that are more than enough to seduce visitors to a destination.

Taking advantage of the current low cost of air travel, no destination in the world can be said inaccessible to visitors. Most visitors, in a destination, love to get engrossed in an abundance of recreational activities, escapades, and adventures. So, relax and have some fun in any of the rentals in the area you have chosen to spend your holidays. Remember to book your vacation condo rentals in advance, and make the most of your vacation in the beaches, trails, rivers, or just anywhere in the area. After a full day of hectic activities, relax to your heart‘s content in the plush amenities of your vacation rentals.

When you plan your vacation, try to stay away from hotels, because vacation home rentals find more favor among visitors for the ambiance, amenities, and hospitality it provide. Experience a unique and more personal vacation experience in your vacation condo home rentals. If you love cooking, buy your own groceries and cook them in the rentals‘ kitchen.

To have a whale of a time, plan ahead of time, and conduct thorough research on the destination and vacation rentals you are planning to choose. Look into budget travel options before finalizing a family vacation, because budget travel deals are always less than retail travel prices. You can also try setting up a travel budget and

You need to book your air tickets early if you are planning to fly to a destination. Also, check with your vacation rentals owners and confirm if accommodation is available during the time of your visit, because by doing so, the last minute rush can be well avoided. But don‘t think flying to a distant location only can make a perfect vacation, because a vacation can be most perfect in your home town itself! Prior to deciding to vacation in your own town, check out more about the attractions there and plan accordingly.

A well planned vacation in a location with year-round placid seasons and unmatched ocean access, to rock and roll in fun and sun will help you get over all the blues in your life. Plunge into the attractions, events and activities offered, and revel in the profuse flora and fauna, yummy feasting, and amusing nightlife; no matter where you are for your vacation.
