Good friends, good food We spent week number 23 meeting up with travel bloggers, enjoying a game night with the family, a wonderful visit with good Vancouver friends and eating some good food. How did you spend your week?
SPOT PRAWN FRA DIAVOLO
BC Spot Prawns It’s spot prawn season in British Columbia and although we’re on the other side of the country, we thought we’d share a simple and quick way to prepare these delicious creatures.
