Author: Mr.

He’s a real manly man that doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty to do what needs to be done. A self proclaimed backyard mechanic, he always tends to have more projects on hand than he can finish. He also has many other interests, such as target shooting and digital photography. Mr. is a strong believer of function over form, and that translates into food. He doesn’t take kindly to any of the snobby pretentious crap some dare call “fine dining”. In the end of the day, if it doesn’t taste good, it doesn’t taste good, no matter how refined the presentation is and/or how steep the price tag is. His take-no-prisoners approach will give you an honest and down-to-earth view of the food you love or hate to eat.

[Wines] Tasting the Wines of Australia – Part 2

During my last post, I discussed the delicious food and wine pairings at this event; but there was much much more -- over 70 types of wine was presented for tasting, and I did what I can to try them all. Here's a list of my favourites. I’d like to make it clear that I’m by no means a wine connoisseur. This is a new found appreciation, so if you are a seasoned wine drinker, you should take what I have to say with a grain of salt. However, if you are a beginner yourself, you’ll likely find my opinions useful.

[Wines] Tasting the Wines of Australia – Part 1

I was invited to participate in Wine Australia’s media tasting. Yum would best describe this wine and dine experience, and it all started with these wine and food pairings. I went into a bit more detail with my favourites. Please stay tuned for part 2 of this post, as I use my rudimentary yet honest experience with wine to talk about the six categories of wine sampled at this event.

Wings Wings Wings! Wings night at the Thirsty Duck Pub

I’ll start by saying the wings there were absolutely delicious, better than Wings wings. At a quarter a piece, you won’t find better wings for less around Vancouver. They are cooked just right, and are decent sized as well so they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We went ahead and ordered a pound of each flavour, 7 in total, honey garlic, sweet and spicy, thai, teriyaki, hot, BBQ, and salt and pepper.

Confessions of True Confections

I like the open and casual style of the shop, but I’m sure a lesser man out there would’ve preferred it to be more cozy and romantic. It’s pretty neat that they have all their finished products on display, so you know exactly what you are getting a slice off.
