Arr, Me Treasure Ye Not Be Stealin’


Photo-A-Day #2391

Eva is getting ready for our Pirate Pizza Party tomorrow. I picked up a bunch of candy to put in the treasure chest pinata. Now I just have to figure where to secure it so the kids can bash it to pieces to get the sugary goodness inside. Well, I figure it out. Eva was very excited to help with this task.

Boston Pizza?

Boston Pizza a Chain in Canada

So, here in Vancouver there is a strange thing that I just had to experience, Boston Pizza. They are everywhere. I went to Boston Pizza last night for dinner just to go there and check it out. Expecting a Boston themed restaurant I was surprised not to find any Boston decorations or anything. It’s just them name of the place.

It made me laugh to see, Boston Pizza rather than New York or Chicago Pizza, because frankly pizza is not what I associate with Boston, no matter how many times I’ve been to the North End. The only references I saw to Boston were on the menu, I had the Boston Royal Pizza, (Pepperoni, Ham, Peppers, Mushrooms, Olives, Onions and Shrimp.) Weird. They also have a Boston Extreme Heat sauce for the wings, which were not at all as good as the wings at Montana’s (Which by the way was themed like a lodge in Montana.)

Despite the false advertising of this restaurant having anything to do with Boston the pizza was actually decent.
