Easter Egg Hunt

We had our Easter Egg hunt this Sunday.
We had a fire in the pit to roast hot dog weenies.

Big Dianne helped perform camera magic with spoons.


Harvey the rabbit was in charge of eggs.

Vaisakhi

I was born in India and grew up in Vancouver near Victoria Drive and East 49th Avenue. I now live near Fraser and East 41st, so I feel I’ve come full circle.

The streets between Fraser and Main are Vancouver’s Little India.


Every year, around the middle of April, Sikhs celebrate Vaisakhi – the Spring Harvest Festival. Food of every description is distributed to people as they pass by.


We call it “eat your way to Main”

Planked Salmon

Cooking fish on a wooden plank brings out all the best flavours.
It was the first opportunity to barbeque this year without wearing Polar fleece and raingear. We even had a fire in the firepit!
Just make sure to soak the plank for a few hours before you put it over the coals. Don’t freak out when the plank catches fire – that is supposed to happen.

Cook for about 15 minutes. Guaranteed to be moist and delicious.
