Shellfish Festival in Comox

 My apologies.....this is a dreadful picture....they were all blurry.....but I wanted to record the amazing dinner we enjoyed for Maggie's birthday last Sunday. It was a gourmet meal, including a fabulous salad, brats and ribs, lots of laughter and especially warm birthday wishes to our Maggie!











This past Friday, we gathered at our house for Michele's dinner party....:-)  as it was the annual drive by of vintage cars, which goes right past our house. Michele made chicken, ribs and cake, Bill made appies, Ter made potato salad, I made Caesar salad, and despite the rain (we ate inside) we did get out to watch the cars go by after dinner.........






Then we braved the elements to sit in the gazebo (blankets and all) - with the electric fireplace cranking out heat - and finished our dessert and wine outside. Hardy Canadians, eh??????










Sunday we headed up to Comox with Maggie and Ingrid to take in the annual Shellfish Festival - and altho it was very windy and cool, no rain, it was well attended!






Held at the Marina Park, I forgot to take pics until we were leaving.....duh!!.....but there were amazing booths with oysters, scallops, clams, gooey ducks, halibut, rock fish, crepes with strawberries and whipped cream (ok, that is not seafood) - cooking demonstrations, displays from the Fisheries Dept, Hydro, community groups and lots of kids and dogs!!
