Van Hunt is definitely a good sport! He let this little boy on stage to play air guitar. So cute!
We got a picture taken with the drummer. She was fantastic!

Van Hunt! - Vancouver International Jazz Festival
I'm not a hipster by any means but I have known about Van Hunt for roughly 5 years and I love his music! I was excited to see his name on the line-up for the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and even more excited when I saw it was a free show! I persuaded my friends to come along and they couldn't stop thanking me afterwards.

Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
Who knew quinoa could taste this good? I got this recipe from here
Ingredients
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup uncooked quinoa
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup frozen corn kernels
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic, and saute until lightly browned.
Mix quinoa into the saucepan and cover with vegetable broth. Season with cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes.
Stir frozen corn into the saucepan, and continue to simmer about 5 minutes until heated through.
Mix in the black beans and cilantro.
I made this recipe twice. Both times I added some chopped black olives and the second time I added avocado which just made it so much better! This recipe is a keeper!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Leia!
Leia turned two in April (where has the time gone?) and she had a Sesame Street-themed birthday party.

| Guest of honour, Erica! |
Welcome, Baby Erica!
My long-time travel partner, Sheila, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in April 2012. Welcome to the chipmunk cheek club!
I know I'm mean but I couldn't help taking a picture of Leia not happy with rescinding her position as baby of the group! I hope she forgives me when she's older :)
