If I was asked today what my top restaurants in the city are, Indian Aroma would be at the top of the list. On New Years Eve I picked up the Dinner Combo #1 - with pakoras, butter chicken, vegetable korma, salad, naan and rice. I also ordered a side of papri chaat. It was delicious and nice to not have to cook that night. These guys rock.

We took our visiting nephew to the Amsterdam Restaurant for breakfast before Christmas. Pax had a super cute Clown Pancake. I had Eggs Benny.

I found some ground pork in the freezer and turned them into crock pot meatballs.
Sweet and sour crock pot meatballs
Mix together 1 lb ground pork, 1 egg, 1/4 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion.
Mix well, form into meatballs (I got about 20 total), and cook in a pan with a bit of oil until cooked through.
In your crock pot mix together 1/3 cup ketchup, 3/4 cup water, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 TB soy sauce, and 1/3 cup cider vinegar.
Add the meatballs, cover, and cook on low 2-3 hours.

I called this my Sunday Night Steak - guess why? It was so good! We haven't eaten much steak lately and I wanted to jazz them up. I marinated them all (Sunday) afternoon. When I mixed the sauce up I set some aside for drizzling on the plate at dinner time. A wise move. I just threw stuff in - a few TB of hoisin, a splash of water to keep it thin, a few more TB of soy sauce, a squirt each of bbq sauce and honey, some garlic and ginger. All good stuff.

We found ourselves out at dinner time recently, and conveniently very close to Sushi Plus, a newish restaurant in Aberdeen.
No photos, but we tried some miso soup, tempura, yam sushi, beef udon soup, and the katsu don (pork rice bowl). Sadly, they like so many other Kamloops sushi restaurants, are not open on Sunday.
