Vegan Air Fried Donuts I have been experimenting trying to get the best tasting vegan donuts cooked in the Airfryer. I don’t deep fry. and there a no good donut stores close to where I live so attempted to make some.  There are lots of donut recipes on the internet I am not good at following recipes and don’t want to bother with things like rolling out dough. I also wanted to get more of a donut shop texture versus baked. The yeast and baking powder works really well.  This recipe is good I am the only one that has tried them though.  I do not usually measure ingredients which is why I don’t bake but I tried so you can make them and give me some feedback.

Happy Victoria Day Weekend May 22, 2017 and Rao's Pasta Sauce

-

When you have an expensive jar of pasta sauce and you already devoured the pasta what do you do with it? I eat it for breakfast.
Poach an Egg in the sauce

realize you don't eat that healthy and add some amazing natural cheese puffs and avacado to it


More about the sauce below
This weekend was relaxing but I did do a few things that I didn't take any pictures. It is the first very hot weekend of the year and that means it is almost summer.

I went to the Richmond night market as is tradition with my friends we go at least once every summer. The night market has become one of the biggest in North America however as with most things I prefer the olden days. In the past there was some unique things to try. This year I had truffle fries and a churro  but it was nice to be outside after 10pm with a still clear night. I felt compelled to return to Richmond during the daytime and took a visit to the mcArthur Glen outlets near the airport. Again nice to be outside on a warm day but I didn't buy anything.

Last week at Pomme I saw Rao's pasta sauce on sale for $10.99. I have wanted to visit Rao's in Vegas but never make it there when I go. I have never been to New York so eating at the restaurant probably isn't going to happen. I contemplated why people would by a jar of sauce for $11 all week and even read reviews on amazon. I had to know is an $11 jar really better than a $2 jar. I figured since I am not eating at a pasta restaurant I can buy it. Of course an $11 jar of sauce really needs a good vessel to sit on and skillet gnocchi is another slightly expensive thing I wanted to try. I walked to Pomme for the sauce and then Safeway for the gnocchi in total with tax the ingredients cost $20 but  this will last for more than one meal.

The sauce is definitely restaurant quality and I did enjoy this meal as much as I would have enjoyed going to a restaurant. It was really easy to make so as much as I missed someone else cooking and cleaning for me this is good. I still have a lot of sauce left so I will be eating at home this week and saving some money to use it up. I do think it is worth it to spend the extra money on a better jar of sauce.

April 21, 2018 Tsawwassen Mills shopping trip

Foodiebuddy and I arranged to go to Tsawwassen Mills as a pre-birthday celebration. Tsawwassen Mills is a newer mega mall with outlets near the ferry terminal. The mall is built on first nations land as it is about a 40 minute drive from Vancouver. Prior to the mall existing I very rarely visited Tsawwassen I believe the last time was over ten years ago when a family member lived there. Fortunately Tsawwassen Mills is operating a free shuttle from downtown Vancouver and Richmond which makes getting there convenient. I live in Coquitlam and Foodie Buddy lives in Richmond so we both took skytrains from our homes and met in downtown Vancouver. We didn't plan this but we ended up picking a gorgeous weather day much appreciated after the weather we have had recently. downtown Vancouver April 21, 2018 We knew the bus left at 12:30 but we weren't sure where the stop was. We decided it was likely where the other buses leave from at Canada Place. We saw the bus when walking o

2018 Goal Reached earned over $1375 from the internet and $1500 Goal for 2019

If you want to read last year's post click  here http://www.livingvancouverloca.com/2017/12/2017-goal-reached-earned-1000-cdn-from.html Last year I wasn't sure if I would be able to meet this goal but I actually passed it. I am happy about meeting this goal so of course I am motivated to pass it again. 2019 my goal will be $1500 because my circumstances have changed a little since last year. I have a new job with a long commute and not a lot of internet access when I am out. $1500 seems realistic where I have to work but it won't be overwhelming. My requirements are still that I do things I enjoy and can do them anytime I want with no commitment. I will post links in the future but I really wanted to get this post out before 2019. Here is a breakdown of the earnings 2018 Earnings mturk $776.69 prolific $162.96 focus group $125.00 field agent $67.50 quest mindshare/panel champ $62.50 Eva $60.00

Week of May 28 Veg Expo

This is the weekend I wait for all year Veg Expo in Vancouver. I am vegetarian and love food so an exhibition where I can get all the vegetarian food I want for reasonable prices is great. I bought my tickets from social shopper which was 2 for $15 and with cash back from other sites it ended up being around $10. Tickets are well worth the price. A lot of samples in my tummy not sure if the bags that were given out earlier had more items in them. I was picking up a coupon from the table and the volunteer told me they were in the bag. I came home to discover there was no coupon in the bag but I still ended up with a pretty good free haul to bring home. free samples A couple of vendors had responded to my twitter or instagram inquiries and I have been to past veg expo's. I knew I would be stocking up on supplies while I was here and was prepared with cash. Although the venue was larger than past years the crowd also increased in the past it was held over two days. t
