Who knew Thai Dinner was so simple to make. My girlfriends and I decided we should have dinner together one night. One thing lead to another and we made it a themed dinner. THAI FOOD! Right off the top of our heads was Pad Thai and Tom Yum Soup. We were very lucky to have a personal Southeast Asian “iron chef” to guide us through the process. My girlfriend’s hubby is Malaysian and has strong influences from his parent’s cooking. He offered to make the Pad Thai and Tom Yum. Danny and I have been currently trying to perfect our Thai inspired chicken marinade,...

Bachelorette Monday continues! My classmate that originally hosted our Bachelorette Mondays, is currently jet setting around Europe with her hubby, so yesterday’s Bachelorette viewing took place at another classmate’s house. Of course, we had a BBQ fest of chicken breast, smokies, toss salad, potato salad, corn, bread and dip, more potatoes and strawberries. YUP… 2 girls can gobble up all that believe it or not. Side note: must have dip of the summer - Artichoke and Jalapeno from Save-on-Foods! Deadly and addictive, I am SO hooked. Last night I also experienced... 

June 14th 2009 was  Car Free Day in Vancouver. Roads were closed off in 4 locations: Main Street, Commercial Drive, West End, Kitsilano Block Party. Along with Car Free Day the Golden Ears Bridge was opened to pedestrians. On Saturday I was planning to visit Main Street, Commercial Drive and the Golden Ears Bridge on Sunday. Well… I was a little ambitious, cause I only had enough time on Sunday for Car Free Day on Main. I’m not complaining, I had a blast on Main! I couldn’t believe this only happens once a year! This event NEEDS to be at least a monthly thing... 

That’s my dog Yoshi. Last night I finally got the guts to watch Marley & Me. I’ve been holding off on this movie and book for a while, just because of all the comments and reviews I’ve heard. A tear jerker! I grabbed my dog, popped in the dvd and got comfy on the couch. It was great at the beginning of the movie, Yoshi provided some comic relief by lunging at the TV every time Marley came on but towards the end, he realizes that Marley’s not real and laid beside me. That was when I wished Yoshi would still lunge at the tv for some distraction. I... 

Last Monday a classmate of mine started Bachelorette Mondays! the deal is we would get together on Mondays to watch The Bachelorette and pig out to our hearts content. Personally, I was never really into watching The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. UNTIL this season, because The Bachelorette is Jillian Harris and she’s an interior designer. Apparently she went to the same college as my classmates and I and she was in one of my instructor’s classes. Plus, she was SO cute in The Bachelor with her hot dog theory. For the Vancouver locals, she was the designer for Pinky’s...

It was the classic case of a damsel in distress. While driving under the scorching afternoon sun I over turned and ran right into the curb and BOOM!… My tire blew. Note to readers: Really, I’m a safe driver… really I am…I don’t know why my girlfriends don’t like riding in my car….hum… Anywho~ I blew my tire. Great! It’s scorching hot outside, super busy street at 3:00 in the afternoon and I’m wearing my pretty spaghetti strap sun dress in heels… This is NOT my day to be changing a spare tire! Not impressed… I...
