Following a particularly painful and disgusting visit to the oral surgeon, I stumbled home to Google food I could sip through a straw…
…when my computer suddenly picked up a nasty bit of spy ware.
Had I not been in such dizzying pain, I might have had an epileptic fit, instead, I attempted to back-up what I [...]

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
At least, that’s what my Grandad used to say to me.
So, with this branded into my psyche, that’s what I’ve been thinking for the past few months as I blast around town on my Rocky Mountain street bike. Over the last week or so, though, I’ve had the [...]
timinganddelivery.com would like to take this opportunity to welcome its newest partner, Timbre Restaurant.
Timbre Restaurant is a staple on Vancouver’s Commerical Drive (numerically speaking, #2068).
Their motto is simple, which is what, we think, drives Vancouverites back for more:
Great (Canadian) food, Killer (live) music, Big wood.
As some have put it, Timbre Restaurant is a ‘burger and [...]
What’s black, white and red all over?
Here’s a clue – you can’t buy one for 50 cents, fold it up and put it under your arm.
The answer – Wok Box Fresh Asian Kitchen.
Erin reviewed her Wok Box Calgary service experience with this snappy little asian food concept kitchen a little while back.
And, like any eager [...]
I cannot lie.
I have been unusually disappointed with the vast majority of Vietnamese restaurants in Vancouver.
For anyone who knows me, you’ll have heard me at least a few times bitching and complaining about a lack of fresh, tasty and inexpensive Vietnamese eats in the region.
Believe it or not, while I haven’t been to Vietnam yet, [...]
For some strange reason, I can’t stop thinking about olives.
Scratch that…I know damn well why – it’s because of my latest experience at Nook.
Before you go off thinking that Nook has got the olive market cornered and that’s what they should be known for – think again:
1) they don’t
2) they’ve got a lot more stuff [...]

Do you know what makes me happy?
Consistently spectacular customer service.
Hell, I’m even willing to settle for consistently decent service with a smile. Fortunately, the folks from Timbre, at 2068 Commercial Drive, have consistently made me very happy.
With a determination to leave no neighborhood haunt unturned, I twisted the rubber arm of a visiting friend to [...]
Oh! Oodles of Noodles.
One of the many, many things I love about living in Vancouver is the bountiful supply and choice of Asian cuisines. But sometimes, a girl just craves:
A “regular” old salad
Mountains of cheese
OR
Eggs benny
And that’s just how I landed at the kitchen-table of: 2 Chefs and a table.
Located at 305 Alexander Street, at [...]
Today is the day…my birthday.
And, just my luck, it happens to be raining (guess we’ll have to shelve the game of lawn darts for next year).
This post is going to be short because I don’t feel like writing a lot. I do like meat a lot, however, so here’s the beef:
1) Jackson’s Meats in Kits [...]
Last summer, one of our readers sent us quite the story about her experience with Browns Shoes in Vancouver’s Pacific Centre Mall.
Seems like another one of our readers had another interesting encounter whilst trying to purchase shoes. This time, however, two-and-a-half things were different:
1) it involves Joneve Shoes (777 Park Royal North – in West [...]
This pop reference may be a little out-of-place, but I really don’t care – for those of you who have taken notice of Beyonce’s call for action, and are looking for a place to make it happen in Vancouver, that place, based on service and pricing, has got to be Crest Jewellers.
In my view, and [...]

Do inanimate, menacing monkeys make you hungry when they stare at you?
For me, the answer would have been a resounding yes last Thursday night at Earls in North Vancouver.
What wasn’t so good, though was the fairly detached service we received from our server…and so goes my story.
I have eaten and ‘cocktailed’ at Earls in Vancouver [...]
