I have accomplished one of the ambitions of my adult life! Haza!
Yesterday afternoon I met up with Marnie in Chinatown. Less than $20 later we had all the fixings for spring rolls and pot stickers.  One more stop at the local butcher (Marnie’s local butcher near Estevan village in Oak Bay) for some ground pork and we were ready to roll. And roll we did! By the end of the night we had made over 60 appetizers. We had both veggie and pork spring rolls as well as pork pot stickers. We tried a couple and they are all delicious. Now, I am so excited to have homemade hors d'oeuvres in my freezer! Yesterday was a pretty great Valentine’s day for me.

Last night after I came home from Marnie and Jareds place I check my email, read a little and went to bed – just like I would most Saturday nights while Tim is playing poker. Then, at 5:00 am I woke up. After a few minutes of laying there I realized that my body has probably become used to my Saturday night routine - falling asleep without Tim and waking up at some ungodly hour when he comes home. The latest he has ever gotten home is 5:30am and when he is that late I usually wake up before he gets in. I guess that is what happened last night, except he wasn’t really at poker, he was in Vancouver.
