To do or not to do? This is a trail that’s been on the bucket list for a while. It’s not for the feint of heart and I just began researching. In an ordinary, normal hiking year, this is totally doable at the end of the summer. Ideally a summer filled with an even number…
Sunshine Coast Trail (Original)
This is a long 180km long hut to hut trail along the Sunshine coast area. The idea is to hike from hut to hut and make this a long 10+ days thru-hike. This page is intended as a way to gather information about the trail for personal reference. Most information were gathered from the https://sunshinecoast-trail.com…
Explorer time: Langley
We came to downtown Langley!! Farm country brewing – had 2 flights. The Pilsner was very yummy, not bad lager but from the IPA onwards everything was so bitter!! Stout is too bitter and very confusing west coast IPA. Pilsner is a 9/9.5. Overall brewery was a 5. Surprisingly the IPA and stouts were so…
Meal Planning – Veggie but less carb
We’ve been thoroughly enjoying eating more veggies, but the unfortunately side effect is we’ve been eating wayyyy too much carbs. Here’s another week’s worth of recipes. Definitely going to do meatballs again but need to eat more protein heavy veggie meals to fill us up. Nasi goreng indonesian fried rice – I know I know…
Meatless Meatball Pasta!
Day 3 of no meat!!! Yayyyyy. Did I ever think I would be going down this path? No. When I joked that I didn’t want to watch Okja because of what it might do to my diet, I was joking! But guess the power of the climate, Sir David Attenborough and Okja has had an…
Meal Planning 2 – Veg version
Not quite the normal meal planning and might not cover all these meals within a week but thought it would be nice to dump all these recipes in one spot. We watched Okja last night… very very well made movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However it was something that I’ve been putting off watching…
Biscotti
Fall is here. The fall colors, change of season and this artic blast that’s chilling western Canada is making me crave for warm drinks and sweets. One of my first memories of Toronto was walking down Queens Street with Mr Ferrero Roche and visiting all his favorite pastry shops. One in particular that he brought…
Manning and Berg Lake
Finally time for vacation. And vacation to me means hiking up mountains for days at a time, leaving behind WhatsApp group chats, Facebook and internet. The result is I’m usually far from family and friends (except for a few fellow hikers) and I get to enjoy the peace that nature gives me. This has been…
Bread Diary – Patapouf Foccacia
One of our favorite cafe in Toronto is Forno Cultura. They have an amazing bakery where you can watch them make the most delicious italian deli food. They use such amazing quality ingredients that everything is phenomenol. We love their sandwiches but another favourite bakery item would be the round focaccias. https://alexandracooks.com/2019/03/22/simple-sourdough-focaccia-a-beginners-guide/ I was lazy…
Bread diary – Patapouf Bagels
Now that I think about it, this is the first time I made something other than a loaf with my starter. This was the very first item I attempted to make with patapouf. ACTUALLY… I lied, this is the second item. At the same time while making bagels, I tried to make sourdough pizza with…
