Lucky me.

I got together with Amy and John TWICE last week. First at a wonderful Indian joint near Granville Island.

Can you believe the size of these Dosas?

And later at a celebration of Taiwan culture. Here we are getting a photo with new students just arrived from Japan.

happy Birthaversary Kate !!

Kate and her daughter Zoe are taking in a chick flik this afternoon. Then the family is doing a beach barbecue picnic to celebrate her 29th birthday.

It’s partly a wedding anniversary celebration, too. She married some old, forgetful guy named Stanley about this time of year, decades ago.

Pink Salmon Festival, Vancouver

I really enjoyed a complimentary outdoor Salmon dinner yesterday.

… The event is organized by Robert Clark, sustainable fish advocate and chef of divine cuisine, who teamed up with Pacific Salmon Foundation to celebrate pink salmon as one of British Columbia’s most sustainable seafoods. A total of 1.5 tonnes of free, barbecued-to-perfection pinks were prepared and served by chefs to hundreds of visitors …

Rockin’ was one of the chef / evangelists.

Denzel had a booth selling their barbecue sauces. He’s attending Barbecue on the Bow next weekend.

The weather was perfect.

June 12th Barbecue workshop Calgary

All-day, hands-on workshop will indoctrinate students in the ways of championship barbecue

In response to overwhelming popular demand, barbecue evangelist Rockin’ Ronnie Shewchuk is teaming up with Weber Grills and Calgary’s The Cookbook Co. Cooks to stage Barbecue Academy, a deluxe all-day, hands-on workshop in Southern-style championship barbecue. The smokin’ session will be held on Sunday, June 12 at Glamorgan Community Centre. …

“Barbecue Academy is a great way to learn and have fun at the same time,” says Ronnie. “Students will not only get a chance to prep and cook championship-quality chicken and ribs, they’ll present their finished products to a panel of judges for a chance to win cheap plastic trophies, just like in a real barbecue contest!” …

Everything students need will be provided, including knives, tongs, cutting boards, oven mitts and aprons. The workshop will run from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. on Sunday, June 12 at Glamorgan Community Centre. Tuition is $295 per person.
