Nonya Kaya Coconut Jam


Nonya Kaya or coconut jam. Have you tried? Do you like?
I was picking up some specialty items in the Osaka Supermarket at Yaohan Centre a few weeks ago and I spied this on the shelf next to the coconut milk. Coconut Jam! I impulsively grab a jar and place it in my rolling basket. (Seriously, all supermarkets should have these rolling baskets. It's a hand-basket with an elongated handle with castors on the bottom. Freakin' genius, I say!)

Nonya Kaya Coconut Jam ($4.69 for a 400g jar)

Planet Bee Honey Farm and Meadery - Vernon, BC


This is Planet Bee Honey Farm in Vernon, BC. It’s a honey farm where you can buy honey, honey wine and take an educational tour to learn about the honey bees.

We are on our way home when I spot a sign that said “meadery.” How exciting! A meadery. I immediately have pictures running through my head with men in long robes with pewter goblets. I must go. We detour from our route and follow the touristy signs.

Chopped Leaf - Kamloops, BC

Dolce Amaro - Kamloops, BC


After shopping at Nature's Fare Market, I often round this corner and never knew there is a café tucked in here.

i-Café - Vancouver, BC


The last time I ate was 22 hours ago, and that was 6 cubes of honeydew and 4 cubes of cantaloupe. Needless to say, at this point I am willing to eat a leather shoe.

Dorset Cereal Simply Delicious Muesli


I love good muesli. I am picking up some dish detergent today, and I happen to spy on the shelves, Dorset Cereals. It is muesli with no added sugar. This is actually not that easy to come by. Most of the muesli I’ve come across has some sort of additional sweetener in it. Sometimes the makers add honey to the oats, or other times it’s a sugary coating on the raisins or the other bits of fruit. I don’t really like sweet cereals, and I find the fruit element in muesli to be sweet enough for the morning munchies.

The Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge - Kamloops, BC


I had attempted to eat at The Commodore back in the Spring. I phoned ahead to insure they were open during the lunch hour, and a confident staff member confirmed their lunch opening hours, “Yes come on down.” I arrived. They were closed. This made me grumpy, so I avoided The Commodore for the entire summer.

Authentic Teriyaki Burger and Cafe JOY - Kamloops, BC


Yōshoku in Kamloops? There is now yōshoku in Kamloops, in the form of Authentic Teriyaki Burger and Café JOY. Don’tcha love the name? It’s the kind of name that you must read several times and experiment with different ways of saying it. Look at the signage. It’s almost as if JOY is an afterthought. It looks so lonely way out there on the right. Tell me JOY, are you part of the name or just an interjection of happiness?

Is it:
|Authentic Teriyaki Burger| and |Café JOY|

Or is it:
|Authentic Teriyaki Burger and Café,| JOY!

Or could it be:

Healthy Families BC


This summer was a bit of a roller coaster ride. The combination of work, travel, unexpected events, along with expected events, cumulated into a summer of me never being home long enough to think straight. I was contacted by Healthy Families BC months ago in regards to help raise awareness to healthy living. As you can see, I didn’t get around to this until now.

Suncatcher Crafts - Lytton, BC


With one of our last warm days upon us, I decide to make a pit stop in Lytton on my way home. If you ever come through Lytton there is only one place to grab some ice cream: Suncatcher Crafts.
