Firstly April, Myles and I went to his grandmother's senior residence, an absolutely beautiful place, for Easter brunch. The chef there spent his previous career at The Fairmont! And let me tell you the food was spectacular. I tried really hard not to eat too too much because I knew I was meeting Jess at the Noodle House for a three o'clock snack.
The food...oh the food! There was Caesar salad, asparagus, roasted veggies, roasted potatoes, mushroom ravioli (the best I have ever tasted), halibut in a to die for butternut lemon puree, eggs Benedict, ham carvery and a whole desert table, with pumpkin pie, creme brule, cookies, cakes, squares, panna cotta, and on and on and on. Oh goodness it was amazing food!
We spent an hour or two upstairs with Bakka. She was such a hoot....what a saucy sense of humour she has! We laughed and laughed. Sometime I will tell you about the tumeric taste test we did!
Then I drove straight to the Noodle House. Egad! I didn't want to just sit there with Jess. I needed to order something, anything! So I got what used to be Bill's and my fave thing...tempuraed green beans and prawns tempura. And guess what? I ate them all...jeez! On top of all that awesome brunch food...and they were delicious! Way to eat healthy...not.
The next day I packed up and April and I met Aryn and Bradley and Clare and Tish at the Rusty Gull for lunch. What a lovely time we had! Its always so so good to see the two of them. We caught up on all the news and spent a lovely time with them. After Clare and Tish left, the kids and I visited for a little longer. We had a good laugh or two...which you will see why at the bottom of this post!
From there I toodled over to Cookie's. I had not seen her since last Sept.!!! We had a fantastic visit! Brian came home and, bless his heart if he didn't make dinner, serve us dinner and washed all the dishes after dinner!!! What a guy! I left :( the next morning for Penticton.
I had a great trip up. But I had to decide whether to go the Princeton, Keremeos way or up the Coquihalla and over the top. And when I got to the decision intersection, I was in the wrong lane to go to Princeton so headed up the Coquihalla. It was a lovely peaceful trip. There were very few cars on the road and almost no one heading over the top to Kelowna. And...I had music all the way!
So now I am here at Kevin's. The kids are great, growing so fast and so so interesting. These guys do a very clever thing. There is no tv in their life, never has been. But they do get an ipad for games once a week. They each have assigned chores and each chore has an amount of ipad minutes attached. Sweeping the kitchen is five minutes, unloading the dishwasher is five minutes, cleaning their room is 20 minutes and lots of little two minute ones. Fenton told me that he does at least enough chores to get up to an hour before he cashes in! This system works like a charm!!!! Today he earned twenty minutes by doing laundry!
Well tonight is Burger 55 nite! Yippeee!!! Again not good for my Monday stats but boy I tell ya I love the corn dogs in this place. They are hand dipped and a foot long! what more could one want! TTYL
