Happy Canada Day (one day late)! I didn't manage to dress in red and white, but Chickadee and I walked down to Granville Island, which was overflowing with people carrying flags, wearing patriotic clothes (some of them even looked quite stylish!) and generally having fun. There were musicians, street performers (we saw flamenco dancers on stilts) and other fun things going on. We picked up portobello mushrooms, baby potatoes and Terra Bread buns (Angie, do you know Terra Breads? If not you have to go there and get their fig and anise bread when you're in Vancouver next, there's one on Granville Island and one on West 4th across from Safeway) for our Canada Day barbecue. We also got enormous, still alive spot prawns from Fisherman's Wharf and grilled them up. They were like lobster, only better.
Angie, I used your salad dressing as marinade for our portobello mushroom burgers and it worked really well (I added a clove of garlic).
We had Canadian microbrew and I sang Oh Canada to the Chickadee and told her all about why she was such a lucky girl to be born in this country.
