You want to know what I’ve done a tonne of this summer?
Play tennis.
And when I get into something (like red wine, crazy Japanese food, and obscure German board games), I’m all in.
So…with that in mind, I’m quickly tearing through my gear (read: tennis balls, strings, runners, outer-wear (if I can say that), and most of all [...]

I love coffee.
If you live in Vancouver, or the Pacific Northwest for that matter, you probably do too.
What better way to celebrate our love of the bean with an expose on a truly unique Vancouver offering – Ethical Bean.
To do that, we sat down with with Kim Schachte, co-owner and co-founder of Ethical Bean to [...]
Far be it from me to tell you where to get your pizza on.
What I can tell you though, is that if you: 1) are at or are near Whistler Creekside; and 2) have a hankerin’ for some really original pizza pies (with a smattering of laid-back Whistler service), then get to Creekbread (if you [...]
…and have carried on, to be sure.
It’s been about six months now since my favourite band from Wales released their seventh studio album. Named not after what this Vancouver lounge has on its menu, but after a 1939 poster from WWII. Who knew?
I missed them when they were in Vancouver promoting their stuff [...]
Whether you remember/care about 1980 or not, there was a movie made that year that spoke volumes to me.
In it, lies a beautiful sentence or two that pretty much sums up my experience I had at Dario’s (read: la piazza dario):
Elwood:
It’s 106 miles to Chicago…we got a full tank of gas…half a pack of cigarettes…it’s [...]
It took me a while to get over the break-up of Huey Lewis and The News. I’ll be honest, it hurt.
It also took me a while to get over the service experiences I witnessed at Starbucks Whistler and Starbucks West Georgia (store #s held back to protect the innocent, of course).
Aside from Huey’s musical catalogue [...]
Being a dog owner, and a Kitsilano resident, I consider myself to be someone who’s aware of where to go to get stuff for your dog.
And probably like many of you (if not all of you), I also enjoy being treated well – and sharing that experience with others.
And so our story goes…from the first [...]
How much is an onion worth?
Well, if you were with me this past Saturday night at Jolly’s Indian Bistro in Kits…$10 (and then some).
But before we price the produce here, let me paint a picture for you: trying to find a consistent (and good) Indian restaurant in the Kitsilano area is like a trip through [...]
Semperviva Yoga has recently stretched its way into the epicentre of Kitsilano’s main drag opening its fifth studio at the corner West 4th Avenue and Yew Street.
So, we decided that it was about time that we pulled back the curtain and cut right to the heart of Semperviva Yoga’s reason-for-being.
To do that, we sat down [...]
I used to love multiple choice tests at school (as much as one could love multiple choice tests), especially when the answer seemed to jump off the page like frogs on a dynamite pond.
Try this on for size:
What’s black, white and red all over?
a) a newspaper
b) a sunburned penguin
c) Santa with a black eye
d) The [...]

We were honoured that Craig and the team at LetsGoForDinner Blog ranked timinganddelivery.com as one of the Vancouver’s Top Restaurant Blogs.
Out of 55, we placed 11th! It was certainly a tight race for us folk in on the other side of 5th place (smirk).
So thanks to all of YOU, our readers, for doing what you [...]
Have any of you been to The Bay lately?
I have to admit, that aside from the occasional need to get some socks or white t-shirts, I hadn’t been on their frequent visitor list; until recently.
Stepping through the doors at the corner of West Georgia and Granville (674 Granville to be exact) kind of feels like [...]
My family is right in the middle of a kitchen overhaul; ’bout time too. Why do I mention this? Because they’ve got something in common with Town Hall at 1032 Alberni Street – a wall.
When Saltlik flipped the reno switch and transformed into Town Hall late last year, there was something in my [...]
Off to Town Hall (1032 Alberni Street) tonight for a sampling of their sumptuous menu and of course, their service.
Interesting that there hasn’t been much pomp n’ circumstance since the closing of its former footprint owner, Saltlik. All in the family, I suppose.
Once I emerge, I’ll definitely fill you in.
How about anyone of you guys? [...]

Parliament Interiors, located at 115 Water Street in historic Gastown, opened its doors only two weeks ago and is already making a dent on the furniture scene (if I can say that).
