Three Generations of Georges

Today is Saint George's day. And four Georges over three generations were celebrating at somerville kitchen today.

The celebrations began with a trip to English Bay to discover the brand new Cactus Club Cafe at English Bay.

You probably couldn't get closer to the water while eating anywhere else in Vancouver. No wonder the place was packed by 11:45 am (and I doubt those are all Georges celebrating).

The BBQ Duck Clubhouse was worth the try. It is a combination of bbq duck, pan seared chicken and crisp prosciutto on pecan fruit bread. Tasty. Heavy. Recommended.

Better service than I have experienced at Cactus Clubs - this high profile location must be carefully staffed.

After food and stroll, all the Georges came back to somerville kitchen headquarters for more celebrations.

 A "Kaiss" (drinks and appetizers) spread included many many vegetables, cold cuts, nuts, cheeses and breads. The drink of choice was a bottle of champagne to celebrate the occasion.

But best of all was the specially-made Anita Cake - a chocolate layered cake with passion fruit mouse, chocolate mousse, and raspberry mousse. It was covered with butter cream and had fresh raspberries in it. Huge and delicious - worthy of the three generations of Georges around. Thank you Anita.

The beautiful day concluded with a beautiful Vancouver sunset - thank you universe.
