BUSY BUSY

It always amazes me how much time goes by between posts!

I have had four stellar memorable meals and evenings since the last post.

I met with Emily and Dorothy the first night after Aryn got back.  We went down to a place near here called Rogue.  OMG!!  We ordered three starters and three meals and two desserts and shared them all.  So delicious, calamari, tacos, dips, charcuterie board, fish and chips, tuna stacks.
And we had amazing conversation.  I love spending time with them.  Emily had undertaker stories and Dorothy had moving to Montreal stories.  Loved it.

Then the next night A&B took me to the most amazing restaurant.  Its called Chicha.  It is a Peruvian, true Peruvian (not fusion) restaurant.  I can't even begin to describe the menu or the food we had that night.  It was all served tapas style which makes for an even more friendly and intimate evening.  Then when we walked back we walked along a few blocks of restored Victorian houses, with twinkle lights in their front gardens and on the ornate gates.  Magical!

Then the next night we had a full on turkey dinner.  We had missed thanksgiving and so did two friends of theirs that attended as well.  So all day Arnie and I made this delicious turkey dinner.  And Aryn is just so insanely busy right now but she managed to throw in a turkey dinner!  And let me tell you, she is one hell of a cook.  Her food is well thought out, gourmet, seasoned beautifully...absolutely divine.  What a delightful delicious evening!

Then last night...oh my god!!!  She made turkey pot pie.  It was so good!  It smelled good while she was making it, and then baking it then served it.  Mmmmmmm....I could eat that all day long!

On Sunday I went to North Van and had a special and wonderful time with Clare and Tish.  We had to go to a different place as they are renovating our usual watering hole.  They are such special people and unfortunately it was really loud in the new place.  I am meeting with them in mid November and we must find a quieter venue.  I have one in mind right near there.  I just love those two people and I want to hear them!!!

From there I headed over to Cookies place.  What a wonderful time.  Monte was having a really distressful evening, which meant I was on the phone a lot.  They were so understanding and kind about it.  Her mom was there and we had such a good visit.  Pam came over the next evening and the three of us had a good old visit.  Its so nice to hang with two ladies the same age, from the same high school, from the same town.  Awesome!!!

I left this morning for home.  Mamma Sidhu came with me as far as her home in Merritt.  We had THE BEST trip ever.  She is such a hoot!!  For 87 we could all take a lesson from her!!!  We stopped at the Flying J truck stop.  I bought corn dogs and onion rings to share.  She dug right in and had onion rings and catsup!  We had THE  BEST time!!!  More tomorrow!  TTYL
ARYN DIDN'T LIKE HER PIC SO OUT OF RESPECT I BLURRED HER OUT!  ISN'T BRADLEY CUTE???
