ROAD TRIP November, 2008
Victoria to Fraser Valley to Okanagan & Back
For the first time in a while, I had a road trip from Vancouver Island to Mission, and onto Penticton, BC. Three burgers, one seafood platter, cocktails and profiteroles. This long weekend had it all. My family and I were away for my paternal grandfather's memorial service. As such the weekend was filled with family and bitter-sweet reminiscences. My Grandpappy was a cook in the logging camps and tow boats in the 1930s and 1940s. In the spirit of Grandpappy, I indulged with wild abandon. What follows here is small gallery of my consumption over this recent trip.
Triple O = Triple Delight 
Triple Bypass?
Ketchup/Catsup Action At White Spot in Hope, BC
Apple Rum Raisin Pie from the Market at the Cannery in Penticton, BC
Vegetarians, Duck and Cover
Theos Restaurant, Penticton BC.
This lamb shoulder (left) sitting in front of my Dad's belly is big enough to feed a Sudanese family for a week. The Seafood Platter for Two (right) was shared by four of us. I thought that the Vegetarian Dolmades and the Greek Salad were the highlights at Theos. I was too busy savouring the dolmades and salad to photograph them.
A TOAST TO GRANDPAPPY
Manhattan - sweet vermouth, whisky, ice, maraschino cherry.
I like my manhattan with extra ice and cherry "juice".
Burgers # 2 & 3 Of This Tale of Gluttony...Tasty Teen Burgers in Princeton, BC
