Christmas Cakes from Blue Hat Bakery

For our family's potluck Christmas dinner, I'm tasked to bring cake. Of course, I go to my fave bakery, Blue Hat Bakery by the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts (PICA).

We arrived home with the center of our amazing cake melted.

Lunch at Burger King

We arrived in Richmond and was in search of an air mattress. We end up grabbing one from Walmart in Richmond and decided to have late lunch at Burger King.

Spicy Chicken Parmesan Sandwich was delicious! I can't believe how great this sandwich was. 

Dinner Date at Tony's Fish and Oyster Cafe

It's been almost a year since I have been to Tony's! Yes, the last time I was here was last year on December 24. I'm so glad the waitress (she's a delight!) still remembers me to give a 10% VIP discount.

Hubby and I had our usual order: a bowl of clam chowder, 2-pcs salmon fish and chips (yam fries) for me and 2-pc halibut and chips (onion rings) for hubby.

Clam Chowder

Clam Chowder with crackers for the crunch factor

2-pc Halibut with onion rings and coleslaw

It was delicious! Tony is the best fish and chips place in the Granville Island area during the winter; you can stay indoors, warm, and have alcohol (if that's your fancy).

Lunch at Peaceful Restaurant

As you can see from my posts, I'm a creature of habit and delicious food. We ate at Peaceful Restaurant less than two weeks ago and I had a craving for the Dan Dan noodles. After shopping and finding amazing deals at Canadian Tire, we had lunch at Peaceful and ordered the same things.

Beef Roll is a must-try at Peaceful Restaurant

Cheers to more food!

Chocolate Swiss Roll from Tim Hortons

Every month it seems like Tim Hortons has a new or limited donut, pastry, or whatever. From the glass display, the Chocolate Swiss Roll looked delicious, so I thought of grabbing one today with our usual Sunday breakfast.

Verdict: The outside is dry from sitting in the glass case for who knows how long. The inner part is a bit moister. However, in general, it was just a very dense too sweet of a "cake."

Domino's Pizza Delivery

Before I got married and moved out of my parent's place, my youngest sister and I used to have Domino's pizza delivered every Friday. We call it pizza Friday to celebrate thriving through the week and to kick off the weekend. We usually eat while watching a movie or Food Network (i.e a marathon of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives).

I moved out and I can't remember the last time I had Domino's at home. It could be the new year of 2018. Anyway, last December 16, I received an email from them about getting enough points to redeem for a free pizza. Yay for free pizza. We used it tonight for dinner.

And because I missed Domino's food so much, I got the free pizza, Chicken Carbonara, 8-pc Boneless Chicken with Ranch Sauce, and 8-pc Domino's Pizza Cheesy Bread with Marinara Sauce.

I can't wait for my next pizza from Domino's!
