The plan for today was to check out the Vancouver Christmas Market that has been advertised all over the place. When Mason and I went to see Yo Gabba Gabba at Queen E there was a guy dressed up as a Gingerbread Man handing out flyers.
Ginny (Mom-in-law) and her sister Cora (Mason’s auntie) invited…
While walking in the fruit section of Walmart, I walked past a huge display of Pomelo's.
I said to myself, "Oh there is a pomelo"

Le sigh.
Going back to my hellish December 2010, I decided to have a nap. My brand new Android [Samsung Galaxy S]
Damn those cooking shows. They always inspire me to cook or bake something. What started off as me wanting chocolate chip cookies, turned into 'I should use up my GF flour' to hmm I have a ton of frozen bananas...

During a recent trip to Whole Foods to look for Vegetarian marshmallows (the big ones! - they didn't carry them), I thought I'd check out their pancake mix as I was out and no source for my Kodiak Care mix! (Since found at Winners - Courtenay)
