Mr. and I first heard of the Sunflower Cafe in Maple Ridge through our friend, who saw someone post a raving review in a Facebook group. So for the actual day of our 10th anniversary, we decided to make a reservation at Sunflower Cafe to celebrate the milestone. Now, did the experience meet our expectations?
Earlier this month, Mr. and I went on a two-week trip to Greece and Turkey. It was our last evening in Athens, and we found ourselves at Soil Restaurant, a MICHELIN one-star restaurant, as well as a recipient of the MICHELIN Green Star for its sustainable practices. Let me walk you through the 15 items on the menu and our overall experience.
Goat curry, fiddlehead Chinese sausage stir-fry, sea asparagus & broccoli microgreens salad, and goat milk yogurt with mint, dried date, pistachio and honey…how's that for a dinner menu?! This menu was made possible with an interesting selection of products available at directfood.store, an online grocery platform that provides a digital marketplace for local farms. I recently ordered a delivery, complimentary of the company, and I was intrigued by what they offer.
Mr. and I recently went on a 10-day road trip to the States. Kicking it off was a celebration of our 4th wedding anniversary and we spent a night at the quaint Willows Inn on Lummi Island, Washington. The upscale inn serves up a 21-course tasting menu every evening, yes 21 courses, that changes regularly and seasonally. It features locally grown produce and other locally fished, foraged and farmed products. And in addition to their kitchen, they also have an outdoor wood-fired BBQ and smoker.
What is it like to be driven around in a 1952 Vintage Mercury Pickup? An experience only found at Covert Farm! It's an 1.5-hour tour on the 650-acre farm, and let me tell you all about it.
