hi Juan If you were going out for a good steak dinner, what would your restaurant of choice be.

I took this picture of my daughter, minutes after she came into the marina with this 33.1 lb Tyee Salmon, she has a 14 ft. boat, and she was fishing all by herself, took her about 15 min. to hook the fish, and about 20 min. to land it. She had a tough time hauling it into the boat, in the net...

Thanks Juan, glad to know that, because I would have believed 'her', as, at the moment I know next to nothing about lamb, except that it is rather expensive, and that's OK, don't mind, I'm not going to eat it everyday.

I buy largepackages of 'economy' priced chicken legs with back attached.(Safeway). Large package into a large soup pot, usually two pots going at one time. add onion and simmer for a few hours. remove chicken, use for 'whatever' you want, chill broth in frig overnight, skim off fat. Put broth...

I spotted some thick but 'tiny' lamb chops yesterday in the safeway 'butcher' meat showcase. I asked the clerk to give me a price on 4 of them, which she did. $28.00 They are still there. She did tell me it was local lamb, and I noticed they also had packaged 'New Zerland' lamb in the main...

When I was a kid, I loved the mashed potatoe leftover meal my mom made. thick layer cooked ground beef on bottom of casserole, one or two cans of campbells vegetable soup spread over that, then spread warm mashed potatoes over that and warm up in the oven, just a variation of a shepherd's pie...

Hi Juan: Had lunch at 'Crow & Gate' today on the way home, 'Beef Dip' was so good, and we shared a boston clam chowder. What a nice place, have added it to our list. We also ate at 'Barb's Fish & Chips' at the fisherman's wharf in Victoria. Right up there with the best halibut and chips I've...

i'm taking notes;-)

I hear they don't do it through the 'groin' area any more, it is now done, in the arm. I know when he had it done in Vancouver years ago, it was the groin, a little touchy with bleeding problems in some cases, especially for people on blood thinners, there was a woman having it done at that...

Well Juan, we are off to Victoria tomorrow, (for that angiogram appointment for my husband), he and I will have all day tomorrow, so we will find 'Barb's Fish & Chips', can't wait for that, and on our way home on Friday, we will stop at the 'Crow & Gate' for lunch, I'll have my computer with me...

Thanks, I'll let you know the outcome.

Yeah, mine are too. My daughter eats nothing but completely organic food, other than what is impossible to buy. She pays way too much for her poultry and lamb. She has a very strict diet that she followes, which is - 'eat for your blood type',- and there is a huge web site run by a...

Yuan, do you know if there are any real good 'totally organic' restaurants in Nanaimo? I have been in the one near woodgrove, it's not too bad, but I would love to find one as good as the one in 'Market Square' in Victoria. It doesn't have to be vegetarian, just organic, which can include some...

I love the convection method, it's like 'surround cooking', and a lot faster than conventional method. My daughter, who bakes all of her own bread, said that the convection method makes her bread much better, you just have to adjust the time.

So, why are we still using them, we, the public have the numbers to put this to an end, but again, we probably don't care, don't believe it, and can't be bothered to put our numbers together to make it happen. We like our conveniences, and won't do what it takes for our health. I hardly use the...

Is that the little dark green ones? I love those. I cut them in half, put butter inside, and whatever else I feel like stuffing in there, then I cook them in the microwave, I have to level off the bottoms, but make sure you don't do too much or they will leak. Usually takes about 6 minutes or...

I love tapioca too, and when I make it I just make the 'tapioca cream' recipe on the back of the tapioca box, it's delicioso. With a little dollop of strawberry jam on top.

Interesting Juan, thanks for the directions, looking forward to going there.

No, I haven't been there, and I don't know where Cedar is either, but I would certainly like to go there next time we are in Nanaimo for lunch.
