What an awesome couple of days!!! On Saturday nite we took Peter to Little Bavaria, a very fave restaurant here in Port, as it was his last night.
We had a schnitzel filled evening, let me tell ya!!!! This restaurant is an Island fave. People actually come from as far as Nanaimo to go to this place. The food is very Bavarian and totally delicious. And we had such and awesome time! We always have so much fun together. We just miss Graeme.
On Sunday we drove Peter to meet his aunt in Parksville. Man do we ever miss him. Both Monte and I have said this a hundred times since dropping him off. He is a quiet soul but fills a huge spot in our hearts. It's like having our own personal best friend and therapist at the same time. I have learned so much from him as has Monte. I hope it isn't too long before he comes back.
And then we toured around Nanaimo for a while. We were going to swim at a lake on Jinglepot somewhere but there were so many people there it wasn't possible. So we decided to get right to it...COSTCO TIME!!!!!!!!! First time since the pandemic started!!! It was super busy but I didn't care. I must have put in at least 5,000 or more steps, way past my daily requirement of 50!!! In fact my thigh and glute muscles are actually sore today!!! I'm not kidding!!! And....we spent 600 bucks!!! I was so excited! To think that a few weeks ago I was actually thinking I should cancel or at least not renew my card! Holy Hannah!!!!!! Well that isn't happening!
It just felt awesome to be back in that crazy amazing place. It reminded me so much of Spod, in a super good way. Costco really was one of our most fave places to go to. But the food court food is still take out only so I decided to wait for poutine and hot dogs when it's eat in. I could have got a hot dog to take home. I was telling a horrified Craig my fave thing to do with a Costco hotdog. I get the dog, put in onions, relish and mustard...no ketchup. Then I wrap it up tightly and take it home and into the fridge. The next day I unwrap it and it stays solidly in a firm roll. I cut it into pieces like a sushi roll. It is delicious!!! Poor Craig. He did not like the sounds of that!!! Hahaha!!!!!
We then stopped at Coombs on the way home. It was about three in the afternoon. There is a lovely Italian restaurant there call Cuckoos at Coombs. So in we went and had the most amazing meal. We will def be going back there! I will tell you about just one of the things I ordered.
I decided to get a couple of appetizers instead of a dinner. One of them was the most amazing brie. First they brushed it, all sides, with a light dusting of honey. Then they rolled it, again all sides, in very finely chopped walnuts. They then warmed it in a forno oven. It was beyond delicious! If you are ever there this is a must!!!
Finally we got home and had to unload. We were bagged. I put all our meat into a cooler with a couple of bags of ice and they were fine the next day. The two foot long humungous piece of cow had to butchered and bagged for freezing.
All in all it was a happy couple of days, other than returning Peter. And I now have enough coffee, tp, paper towels, butter, beef, smoked salmon, sardines, and cheese to last til the next trip in!
So the following picture is a genuine for real nature flora picture, sent to me by a friend that somehow remembered that I collect somewhat salty items. I truly could not believe my eyes when I saw it!!! So if this offends you I apologize, but remember I did warn you!!!
Stay safe, noodle, take an elder to lunch and let them talk! TTYL
