  I was expecting to have a meal kit delivery from vegano foods but there was a delivery problem. This leaves me with no groceries or meal plan for the week. I decided it is time to use some of the ingredients I have in my apartment.  I had a box of daiya alfredo I used the sauce a long time ago and never used the brown rice pasta. I have a few types of vegan cheese so perfect to try vegan Mac and cheese.  This is the first time I have tried Sproud plant milk it’s pea based and thick so I thought it would be good for the sauce. Step one was adding melt vegan butter to the pan. Then around one cup of milk. Then spices I used curry powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper. I added a tablespoon of vegan sour cream to help thicken the sauce. After incorporating added half a cup each of vegan Parmesan, vegan cheddar, vegan mozzarella.  It melted well but it was salty. I added more milk, spices, and some water to fix the taste.  I had coated some of the pasta in olive oil, curry powder, nutritio

May 27, 2018 Wild Whale Watching Tour Granville Island

-

My brother booked the tour as a present for his girlfriend and invited me along as they will be moving out of Vancouver soon. We met up at Granville Island and headed to the office where they informed us that we will have to sign waiver forms and we will be wearing the full body suit life jackets. I wasn't expecting that it was a super hot day. The tour leader was knowledgable and knew what size suit to give us. There was around 30 people on the tour on a new boat. Another thing I wasn't expecting was that it was going to be an open boat on our walk to the boat the tour leader gave us a talk about where to sit in the boat there was disadvantages to every location. When we got on the boat we were at the back and didn't end up having a choice of where to sit so ended up in the back. The seats were in threes so two of all the rows were taken. The seats were like beach chairs comfy to sleep in hard to get up out of. The boat also went really fast we could get up and walk around but I found I had to wait until they slowed down which only happened if something was close to the boat. The companies all communicate with each other in the area they see the whales so they know where to head it took around 2 hours before we got to see whales and it was hard to crowd in the area where everyone can see the whales but I managed. Once we saw the whales then we looked at other wildlife on the way back we saw sea lions and bald eagles. It was faster to go back but the tour did take around 4 hours. It was really hot I usually tan but the second time in my life I got sunburned I wasn't prepared for an open boat on a really hot day. It was a nice tour the tour guide and the company were great.  I made my first imovie and uploaded my first ever you tube video of the whale tour it turned out pretty good for a first attempt you can see it here.https://youtu.be/zPn6U0SsYIs

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
