In an earlier post, I mentioned that we made some apple roses for our thanksgiving dinner. It was quite easy to make, and I think it's a very romantic finish to any dinner with your loved ones. The recipe is originated from a YouTube video by Cooking with Manuela. We made some adjustments, so our recipe here is slightly different.
Traditionally it's not in our culture to celebrate Thanksgiving. But this year, as newlyweds, we did something different and invited 4 friends over for a Thanksgiving dinner. Courtesy of Echelon Foods, we received one of their Bacon Wrapped Turducken Premium Roasts. It's a turducken roast with Italian sausage stuffing and wrapped with bacon. A 3kg meaty goodness. It's going to be an epic dinner!
My job sometimes takes me to places, and when it does, I could be treated to some pretty cool experiences that I otherwise may not plan for myself. Last month I went to Campbell River for a conference, and we were taken to visit a local distillery.
Continuing last year's tradition, Vancouverites once again celebrated Oktoberfest at Harvest Haus, under the big tent at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre Plaza. Mr. and I went to the Friday seating on the second weekend, checking out the German-style food, beer, live music and entertainers. We've put some food dishes to the test with Samuel Adams, a US craft brewery that I have been spotting at many local food events, supporting and promoting the idea of food and beer pairing.
Just a couple weeks ago it was Moon Festival aka Mid Autumn Festival. To us, it's an occasion for family gathering, so Mr. and I, along with our parents, went out for a big dinner at Parklane Chinese Restaurant.
