Yesterday we pulled up this crazy carrot pairing. Today we found two more. What is going on in my garden? I had no idea!!
The spring hasn’t been much of a spring. Cold, wet, wintery days with a few days of sun scattered in there. We’ve been less than thrilled with it but most of my plants have been obviously happy with the rain. Now that they are huge and leafy, I hope it warms up so everything can…
I was very excited for my first Outstanding in the Field dinner. I tried to get tickets last year and it sold out too quickly, I missed out. This year I booked 3 events to make up for it! I wish I could do more but our calendar is not cooperating with that idea. So,…
I love the CSA season. I can eat ridiculously healthy with very little effort or thought. When all that is in the fridge is vegetables, lunch or a quick snack is so seasonably delicious whether you try or not!

There are not many things I believe in as strongly as good food. I believe in, whenever possible, eating locally and organically. I believe in slow food, McDonald’s goes against all my beliefs. My son calls it the “M place, pleh!” and knows we only go there to use the bathroom on road trips! I’m…
Sooke Harbour House 1528 Whiffen Spit Road Sooke, British Columbia, Canada 250-642-3421 This review is long overdue and because of that I’m afraid my memory won’t hold up to the complexity of the dishes we had while at Sooke. I’m not saying we didn’t have fabulous and memorable meals by any means though. The meal…
