No wonder he's famous around town..

we were in North Van, so decided to treat ourselves to some chocolate goodies..

this was heavenly.. just the right amount of creamy richness and chocolaty sweetness.

and their coffee was a perfect compliment.

One Hundred Days

went to try out new pop up restaurant One Hundred Days 

we went during the BC Hydro Candlelight night.  The place had a pretty neat interior.

 yummy lobster/crab bisque appetizer

such good short ribs on the bone

and the best dessert I've ever had

Baked Alaska
meringue, ice cream, thin chocolate cake bottom

---

then went back again w/ the girls during Taste of Yaletown

Tried a dish that they had that wasn't on the menu..
Quail breasts with Brussels sprout leaves.  I had such a good impression of the restaurant but this wasn't that great.  The sauce was way too salty but we ordered the Baked Alaska again. haha so that's a good end to the meal.  I want to attempt to make this dessert at home!

aww. blurry picture..  makes us look a bit cartoonish.

egg cosy with eggcup

our mini pumpkins

didn't get a chance to carve them so I think they're just going to be turned into pumpkin soup.

Thanksgiving dinner

J made dinner for my mom and sister for a belated thanksgiving dinner.  

We had roast chicken instead of turkey and it was soooo good.  Apparently free range organic chicken makes a big difference.  And then he made a poached pear dessert with ginger sauce & vanilla bean ice cream.  ahhh soooo good.  <3 i'm very thankful for the people in my life :)

and the week before that, we had turkey night for the actual Thanksgiving.

Dawna also made this awesome stuffing

 me and jenn made lemon meringue pie for dessert.  this is the mini-version :)

cute bottle but didn't particularly like this wine
