China Bistro 1
The wonderful China Bistro re-opened this week. We had our post wedding ceremony dinner there last year. They were carryout only since the Fauci-funded-Wuhan-engineered-virus lockdown days. Food loses a lot of panache when sitting in a sad styrofoam box so going in person is a real treat. This gets my vote as best restaurant in BC. We have literally had everything on the menu many times. They also make many things not listed on the menu – just ask.
The only bad thing about China Bistro is you cant order Chinese food from anyplace else. I travel a lot and when I order Chinese take out it is always a let down.
Hostess Angel just retired but Jennifer is now running the show with the same crew that knows how to make magic.

Carol and Tomm’s Visit
We have known each other since I started working at BofA Henderson Branch… Waaaay back.
Carol and Tomm finally visited at 6th Street Bistro yesterday. It was her birthday lunch, and we completely forgot to take pictures:-(
It was a nice visit, great to see her and her husband as always. We had cupcakes as our dessert from one of our local (Las Vegas area) venue, The Cupcakery.
Hachi – Japanese Yakitori Izakaya: 2
It was ‘somebody’s’ birthday so we went back to the wonderful Hachi. The binchotan grill really gives everything a fabulous aroma. We got the same salmon sushi, takoyaki balls, eggplant, and shishito peppers. We tried a few more things from the grill. I really need to find some of this charcoal for my grill.

My dearest husband gave me the new Raycon earbuds which he must have remembered that I wanted! So sweet!!! 🙂
Thank you so much, and I love them!

Mavis is a dear neighbor put on an Indian cooking zoom class today. She lives a few blocks away and we have gone out to various Indian Restaurants in the area pre-pandemic. She has her own cookbook and everything. Today she taught a couple dozen attendees how to make 4 wonderful dishes. I am always amazed at what Indians can do with simple ingredients and spices.
– Dal: Lentils with squash and leeks
– Aloo Gobi: Potatoes and cauliflower
– Lemon Rice: Aromatic rice
– Patriani Maci: Salmon baked with Chutney

Sunday Morning Bike Ride
Another fun Sunday Morning Bike Ride this morning!
A bit breezy yet it was such perfect temperature for riding this morning.
We encountered three animal species today other than regular “homo sapiens,” and they were Big Horn Mountain Sheep, Coyotes, and Geese!
Unfortunately we could not take photograph of Wylie Coyotes, but we managed to get pictures for Big Horn Mountain Sheep and Geese. There Geese were not regular ones around here, must be on their way of seasonal migration travels.
We were able to see sheep in very close distance today. They were too busy munching nice green grass 🙂
