A Royal Evening

Monica and I enjoyed another Christmas gift (this one from our daughter, Sarah) on this fine Friday evening in Saint John…. tickets to the Imperial Theater to see Classic Albums Live perform The Beatles: Let It Be in concert. We started the evening off with an incredible authentic Indian meal at Royal King: A Taste of India. Then a walk through the park to the theater and two hours of music nostalgia. The Beatles certainly are music royalty. It was a glorious evening. Thank you, Sarah!

Out Like A Lamb

March 31st, 2023… 6°C and clear blue skies in Saint John. Monica and I took our daily walk uptown and really enjoyed the fresh air and change of scenery. We also enjoyed lunch at Ta-Ke Sushi on King Street (our fav) and then a stroll through the Saint John Arts Center to see the Kyla Chung exhibit. Her work is inspiring.

Spring Dinner for St. Patrick

Monica outdid herself this St. Patrick’s Day 2023 and created a phenomenal dinner of Herbed Lamb Chops with Irish Colcannon and Spring Asparagus. Every time I look at these photos, my mouth waters.

Here is a photo gallery showing the making of this wonderful meal:

Pheasant ooh la la

Monica’s brother, Harry Taylor of North River, NB, kindly gave us two bags of pheasant meat. He and his son raise pheasants on Harry’s ranch and release them in the fall for hunting. We were very appreciative of his generosity and excited to try a new recipe. Monica searched Pinterest and chose one that looked easy/no-fail… Bacon-Wrapped Roasted Pheasant. She did the breasts in the oven with this recipe and tossed the legs in the air-fryer. The result was incredible. Thank you Harry and Monica!

Valentine’s Vigil

Monica and I spent a lovely Valentine’s Day at home, just the two of us, with a nice bottle of wine and candlelight over a beautiful bowl of Cioppino. It was perfect!

Date Night

Monica and I will often give each other gift cards at Christmas to various venues in Saint John. That way, we have things to look forward to throughout the winter. For January’s entertainment, we enjoyed a fine dinner at East Coast Bistro and then a show at the Imperial Theater; “Piaf”.  Absolutely fantastic! The audience was on its feet several times. Here is a gallery of photos.

Fulla’ Falafel

It’s Sunday, mid January, and we have an ice storm in Saint John. We needed some comfort food so Monica decided to make falafel. I was her sous-chef 👨‍🍳 and the official photographer 😁. We had a blast fooding together and mmmmmm so good!

Here is a gallery of pics capturing the process.

Epiphany

I took this photo on January 6th, the Epiphany. The next day we took down the tree and returned the room to normal. I miss the tree… and the pizza too.
