Victoria is a fantastic food destination with many brew pubs and little bistros. We tried to hit one of the local brunch hotspots but the lineups were just way too unwieldy to risk with a hungry toddler. I wish we had more time and less baby to explore the city properly, but I’m sure [...]
Jason was in a liquor store a while ago and heard a mother say to her kid, “Mommy just needs to pick up some Mommy juice.” Well, now that I have baby H, I fully understand the need for Mommy juice.

Vin Room is a place I wish I visited more before we moved. It’s got great small plates, amazing wines (and wine experts), a beautiful space and the city’s best rooftop patio. (Best patio still belongs to Bonterra.)

I am not a woo girl.
But after they assured me the night would involve none of the above, I consented to a small dinner with [...]
This is how I always start off describing Anju: “You know those two round condo towers downtown near the Bow? The ones that look like Miami Vice?
“OK, and you know how there’s a big liquor store on the corner? Go down that dead-end street, and Anju is in the little house.”
Now that you [...]
