Welcoming the Parents

The morning started with a trip to my favourite produce store - 910 Supermarket. Glad I remembered that mom won't eat except washed-at-home fruit and vegetables.

An afternoon sunny coffee and smoke break in le jardin with Favorti, a delicious sweet discovery from Polonia Sausage House (4286 Fraser Street).

After 24-hours trip, best to keep dinner light. A selection of cold cuts and cheeses from Polonia Sausage House (where they were giving free sausage as bonus given it is Orthodox Easter weekend).

And waking up to a Canadian-style home-made pancakes and maple syrup breakfast (click for pancake recipe).

Tune back daily for a month of Lebanese cooking by mom and all sorts of new Vancouver food discoveries as part of the tourists' tour.
