First day of summer

Today is the first day of summer! I'm looking forward to sunny days on Granville Island and bravely tanning on the beach in my swimsuit :) And... in August, I will be off to South Africa!

Family Meals

I have been in great need for food inspirations! It feels like it's been awhile since I actually spent more than 10 minutes in the kitchen. So, I decided to buy this book that I've been eyeing for a few weeks now. Family Meals is not only a collection of recipes but it has detailed description about where the ingredients come from and how to find, store, and prepare them. Mmm~ I can't wait to start cooking again!

Does anyone have any good recipe inspirations??

the Drive

this reminds me of the fair or a circus :)






so, it's really not easy to notice this little gem off the Drive. You can only find it if you know the address and have someone point it out to you. But! when you find this charming place, Little Nest, you'll be able to try their delicious menu, whether it is for breakfast or lunch. Don't get me wrong though. If you are looking for a quiet place to go and you don't like babies, this is not the place for you. This spacious room accommodates moms and locals who want a comfortable place to go to catch up with friends, enjoy delicious simple meals, and even to breastfeed their babies! The first time can be overwhelming but also addicting! You'll want to go back and try the rest of the menu.


is it just me or does my hair look like i just woke up?? heh


yikes! i ate all of that huge bowl of soup! oh but it was sooo goooood


what i recommend: any of their daily soups
Slow-roasted Free Range Chicken Baguette with guacamole, chipotle mayo and cilantro

so this is Bowen Island

Even though I've lived in Vancouver most of my life, I realized that I haven't been to many places nearby! So, here's Bowen Island, only a short 20 minute ferry ride away from Horseshoe Bay. The day was supposed to be full of rain but it turned out without a single drop! Yay

D.E.A.R

What are you reading these days? I've been reading Julia Child's book, My Life In France, because I loved the movie and I want to go back to Paris to eat yummy food and walk around everywhere for hours and hours, admiring the architecture and the culture of people and art.
