Shrawan's Coffee, Wine and Food Stuff: January 2013
http://skwine.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Shrawan's Coffee, Wine and Food Stuff. Friday, January 4, 2013. Hanging out at the Crooked Goose. Great spots for food and wine in Victoria ultimately come down to people. Who runs the place, what are their standards, how do they run the place and what is their vision for success as an establishment. The Crooked Goose. You will come for the consistent food, scrumptuous bites, great wine and beer, but ultimately, you will come back for the people, the atmosphere the serenity and the service! La Posta Pizz...

Shrawan's Coffee, Wine and Food Stuff. Tuesday, October 1, 2013. It's not coffee, food or wine.It's just me. It's been a long time, a long long time. Have no wine on the desk beside me, I have no coffee brewing, and food was an hour ago. I have just returned from New York City via my home away from home in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It was a great trip, but a real chance to ponder so much in life. Things I have learned lately:. Be ready for anything, you never know where life may take you and what might re...

Shrawan's Coffee, Wine and Food Stuff. Monday, February 14, 2011. Impromptu Gatherings - More wines to sample! I have to admit that when I started writing this blog it was just a way to let friends know about some of the wines I am drinking, what I am enjoying and my suggestions on which wines I think are pretty darn great. When I was contacted by a wine distributor ( Philippe Dandurand Wines. Really, someone wants me to try their wine! I will have to check on what my next assignment is from the wine lad...

Shrawan's Coffee, Wine and Food Stuff: October 2013
http://skwine.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Shrawan's Coffee, Wine and Food Stuff. Saturday, October 12, 2013. Thanks.Its all about the peeps! Of course acknowledging the people around us and what they give to us should be something we do on a daily basis, every time we see our friends, loved ones, relatives, special friends or acquaintances, but we are not always perfect about doing just that. To me, things are of little relevance – they come and go, but people are amazing! Friday, October 4, 2013. Little Elephants, Cocktails and Baring One's Soul.

yummy belly: vancouver, pt. 4
http://yummy-belly.blogspot.com/2011/02/vancouver-pt-4.html
Filling my belly, then dancing with it. Thursday, February 17, 2011. Vancouver, pt. 4. For some context, check out Parts 1. After our brewery tour, we wandered around Granville Island some more and happened upon a place called Artisan Sake Maker. I'm so glad we did it. The sakes we tasted were all lovely! I wish I'd bought a few bottles to take home so I could share that little phenomenon with y'all! Next time for sure, because now I know: sake is good, as long as you get the good stuff! We did manage a ...

Filling my belly, then dancing with it. Monday, January 31, 2011. Vancouver, pt. 1. Well, I'm back from Vancouver, and to avoid adding to the backlog of posts I've been meaning to write, I'm going to start writing about all the great eats I had on this recent trip. Our first stop after settling at Carm's place a little, was brunch! We went to Subeez. A place with funky tribal and gothic art on the walls, and church candles (featuring pictures of saints and the Virgin Mary) on the tables. It was so good!

Great Scott!: July 2011
http://lifewithscott.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. A lot is being said lately about food trucks - a trend across North America which has now reached our fair city. Introduced in Vancouver just a year ago with a change to civic licensing, there's now a food truck or cart on many corners of downtown. Food trucks have become the new source for lunch for many Vancouverites, and many trucks have line-ups 10 deep at peak times. While I love the concept of food trucks (quick, cheap, delicious? A chicken sandwich with gravy and fried oni...

Let's just say, hypothetically. These are the good times. Thursday, May 31, 2012. Not making any pals. I had heard through the grapevine that trevor bird, the owner of Fable on west fourth - in the old Refuel location, had made some comments on his blog regarding the state of the kitchen at refuel, or rather what he was left to contend with.and he called out the former cooks there and that he would be embarrassed to work in such a dirty kitchen. You can see his blog here. Well, not a lot. I have a new so...
