I've always known that the Comox Valley on Vancouv

I've always known that the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island was a culinary hotspot, but I have had rarely had the chance to explore it. This weekend was my opportunity.
😍.
Yes, we were here for a ski & snowshoeing adventure weekend, but for once we didn't stay on the mountain. Staying in the valley gave us the chance to delve into the culinary scene here, and I'm so glad we did!
🍜.
From the amazing, from-scratch ramen at @nikkeiramenya to the addictive pizza and sourdough bagels at @jackknifepizza , to one of the best restaurant meals we've ever had, courtesy of @ilfalconeca , to the unplanned wine-tasting at Black Creek Winery (we bought some of their berry port) and the @bigdsbees honey stand - the food scene has been top notch!
🍯.
We honestly barely scratched the surface. There are so many other wonderful food places to try. We cannot wait to come back. Special shout out to Big D's Bees unique Mountain Honey - we made a second trip today just to buy more - I am already dreaming of the Russian honey cake I am going to make! And extra special shout out to @ediblevanisle 's Facebook page for the excellent engagement and recommendations, and personal thank you kiss to @lettie_mo for telling me about Nikkei Ramen-ya (you were right, it was the absolute best).

The only time I tailgate : ski season during a pan

The only time I tailgate : ski season during a pandemic! Swipe to the end to see a ridiculous photo of me getting VERY excited by our tailgate picnic.
🎿.
Dave and I are spending the weekend at our local ski hill and didn't want to wait in long line ups at the (now very limited capacity) cafeteria, nor risk exposure in the eating area. So we used our awesome @nissancanada family of thermoses to bring hot soup and hot tea to the ski hill. We stopped midday for a delicious hot lunch and then hit the slopes again.
🏂.
We have not done anything adventurous or "travel-like" in a long time, nor have we had a chance to get away just the two of us, so this weekend is much needed! Shout out to @mountwashington for excellent Covid protocols and even better snow conditions.
❄️.
PS This post is not sponsored in any way. Our thermoses were all bought at different times over many years; one was second hand. We just thought it was funny that when we dig them all out, they were all Nissans of different sizes 😂 Dave thought I should arrange them to look like a serious post; he even pulled the blanket out of the back seat (don't look too closely or you'll see the dog hair 🤣)

Victoria's Chinatown on a sunny winter afternoon.

Victoria's Chinatown on a sunny winter afternoon. I was here to pick up some ingredients for my upcoming cooking class and took a few moments to bask in the beauty and bustle of this little corner of the world.
⛩️.
From the iconic Gate of Harmonious Interest, to the colourful lanterns, to the markets loaded with beautiful produce, there is so much to see in a single city block. I make a point to shop here as much as I can, to support local business and to load up on wonderful ingredients, foods, teas, and kitchen stuff.
💚.
Coming up to the Lunar New Year, the markets are fully loaded with a stunning variety of greens, herbs, sweets, tangerines, noodles, and more, all to supply home kitchens with everything they need for a wonderful New Year's feast. It's one of the best times of the year to shop here.
❤️.
My culinary tours of Chinatown are still on hold due to the pandemic, but it's a fun place to visit no matter what. Some of my favourite places to stop include: @wlyvictoriabc @fisgardmarket @silkroadtea Loy Sing Meat Market @fantanhomeandstyle @bao_victoria_chinatown @donmeerestaurant @kidsistericecream and many more.

Just wrapped up a private Zoom baking party for a

Just wrapped up a private Zoom baking party for a young girls birthday. We had so much fun connecting with her friends and family from all around the province.
♥️.
By request, the birthday girl wanted to learn how to make crème brûlée, her favourite dessert. After making two types all together (vanilla and Earl Grey tea), I showed the group how to make pavlova and meringue cookies to use up the egg whites!
🥚.
I have really been enjoying teaching these Zoom classes, you guys! I have always loved teaching and seeing my students' enthusiasm and inspiration after taking one of my cooking classes. To be able to reach out over Zoom lately has been wonderful.
🍐.
Today's birthday girl is an enthusiastic and curious baker, always eager to learn new things and practice her skills. I hope she always keeps her love of cooking and baking, no matter what comes, and I'm honoured to be even a small part of her journey. Happy birthday!
