Chez Negus

Charlotte shared a glass of Rosé with uncle Bill today. Bill has perhaps one of the most relaxing gardens in Vancouver. Located somewhere between 4th & McDonald and Jericho Beach, Bill’s place is truly sublime. Dad has been coming here since he was about Charlotte’s age… He may have even dug the Koi pond when he was in his 20s. Looking forward to an upcoming BB-Q. Cheers to that.

Oysters in the Garden

Sounds like a 70s album title—Charlotte had some friends over for oysters in the garden this weekend. What a delight… Judging by our blue box this morning, I think we may have drank a little too much wine, but it tasted sooo good!

This is June

Pretty much a perfect day for us in Vancouver. We had our gardener friend Jane come to prune the garden, a walk to Gastown followed by a trip to Vanier Park then some local Kusshi Oysters at home. I believe this is as good as it gets. Charlotte had her first raw oyster too—a squeeze of lemon, some fresh grated horse radish finished with a shot of ice cold vodka, Charlotte’s palette is evolving quickly.

Un Petit Gourmand

Set to the sounds of Charlie Byrd, here we have Charlotte’s first ever solid food sessions. At first with homemade mashed sweet potato then with fresh avocado. Shot in May, Charlotte is now un petit gourmand, loving mashed bananas with oatmeal and avocados with brown rice. Bon appetit!
