Dinner with Friends

What a wonderful weekend. We were totally spoiled with dinners out. Saturday we went to our dear friends Ken and Janine's for a lovely "English fish and chip dinner". It was delicious! Chef Ken had made such a delicate and light batter, which really added a nice texture to the moist Cod. And he didn't deep fry it, but instead fried in a pan with a little oil. With yummy potato and yam fries..this was true comfort food at its best!

Then Sunday night we were invited out to an old friend of Ivan's who lives in Port Moody. I had only met the wife Katherine a few brief times, but enjoyed their company immensely. And the food was awesome as well. BBQ Wild Salmon with purple "smashed" potatoes and a Quinoa salad...yum! We started with a spicy yam and coconut soup which was also delish.

I would like to really commend these two families, because both have small children running amuck, trying to occupy every minute of mom and dads attention. I really don't know how they do it...prepare a wonderful meal and enjoy company with a little one bouncing about. Very admirable indeed...patience...that seems like a big one...but we sure did Enjoy!
