the pond county market

 we went to the pond to get some plants for the planters by the front door and after buying the plants we had some lunch on their beautiful outdoor patio.  that salad dressing is THE BEST dressing i've ever had.  missing - the veggie wrap - 10/10 like all the rest.

i love you, pond!

something i like - Yew Street Food Hall

 Last month I took the fam plus one extra kid over to the North Shore on a Saturday.  We visited the Kamloops Winter Farmers Market and then to Yew Street Food Hall for lunch. 

Like an upscale food court, the hall offers small stalls for local restaurants and chefs to rent and offer their delicious food treats to us lucky folk. 

The space is lovely and inviting, and you just don't know what to look at first.

 The Boy and his friend headed off to check out all the offerings.  The Girl quickly chose Smashville Burger Bar  and had a really REALLY excellent burger and fries.  This will be my first stop next visit.

 The 2 Boys went with TongDak Korean Chicken, and then took their food to a different table so I could not get a photo or sneak a bite.  Rude.

 The Mister and I got non-alcoholic cocktails, a delicious virgin ceasar and a virgin margarita from Brews on Yew.  SO GOOD.

 

The Mister and I chose  Lemongrass and shared a Grilled Chicken Bahn Mi and Grilled Pork, spring rolls and vermicelli.  Truly excellent.

 This is the kind of thing we need more of in Kamloops - go check it out!

yam tacos at senior froggy's

 

i love yams, i love tacos, so when i saw the yam taco special, i had to try it.  2 tacos filled with lightly breaded deep fried yams, cabbage, onions, tomato, and a sweet and spicy chipolte sauce.  delicious.

Donair Dude opened up this fall in downtown Kamloops.  I visited them 3 times in November.  I am a fan.

The store is larger than it appears from outside, and is bright and cheerful.  The staff are all lovely.

 If you are getting your food to go, which I have each time, they seal it shut for you.  So yes my picture might not look the most appetizing, but believe me, it's delicious.  All 3 times I got the same thing - the small plate with falafel, which comes with rice and potatos and 2 sauces.  the last 2 times i added tabbouleh.

If you are downtown, check them out!
