Last Sunday Kirk and I took the ferry over to beautiful
Bowen Island to visit our good friends Shannon and Matti. After living in Victoria for 5 years and taking the hour-and-a-half long ferry ride to the mainland more times than I can count, the 20 minute ride to Bowen is pretty refreshing. We stopped in the village to pick up some wine and made our way to our friends' cute little cabin, which is deep in the wilderness (or so it seems to me!). We had a fun afternoon and evening catching up, eating and drinking and playing with their dog, Shiva and their cat, Ziggy. We had a nice meal of yummy split pea soup, mushroom & zucchini tarts (I veganized
this recipe) and salad. I'd brought maple nutmeg cupcakes with chocolate ganache icing, but we were too full to eat them after dinner.
I wish Shannon and Matti lived on the mainland so we could see them more often, but it's always a treat to go over to the island for a visit.
