This is the classic French 75 cocktail but I changed it up with a sparkling rosé. I called it Blush 75 (and others may have named it similarly as well) because the sparkling rosé would give it a tint of pink. The colour is also perfect for Valentine's Day. And I love that I have all the ingredients at home so I don't have to buy a bunch of cocktail stuff that I don't use often.
Most restaurants are open for dine-in again now, but some of us may still prefer to eat in the comfort of their own home. Therefore, this Thanksgiving, some local restaurants continue to offer a to-go option so we can celebrate with friends and family safely at home. Here is my round-up. I will continue to update this list as restaurants continue to promote their offering.
This year, Mid Autumn Festival lands on September 21, 2021. If you are interested in making your own mooncakes, check out Mama Lam's recipe for Baked Chinese Mooncake with Salted Egg Yolk Custard Filling that I shared last year. Otherwise, if you are looking to support local businesses and buy some at a store, here are some ideas for you.
As we continue to hunker down with no dining-in service available this year, it looks like Mama Lam and I are going for another afternoon to-go at home this year. If you are looking for something similar with your mom, here is a round-up of to-go afternoon tea available in Greater Vancouver. Pre-order is required but deadline is different for each place. Delivery may also be available.
Just a week ago we celebrated Chinese New Year, welcoming the Year of the Ox. And like every other CNY, it's the perfect the opportunity for us to cook and eat a lot of good food and observe our cultural traditions. This year, Mama Lam made a Poon Choi / Pancai / Big Bowl Feast / 盤菜.
