For now, here are 5 things:<\/p>\n<p>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tumblr_mem9bfEaBb1rk997oo1_1280.jpg\">The Hobbit<\/a>. <em>Yeesssss precioussssss<\/em>. It is coming and with a lot of the original LOR characters plus Martin Freeman&#8230; I love Martin Freeman and his brilliant choice of roles (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0371724\/\">Arthur Dent<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1475582\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_6\">Dr. Watson<\/a> are two favs).<\/p>\n<p>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tumblr_mem9k3dULJ1rk997oo1_1280.jpg\">Neverland<\/a>. I spent months looking for interesting cabarets or burlesque or Steampunk in Vancouver. And, all this time there was a burlesque theatre troop right under my nose. Too bad most of their shows are on Saturdays. Same with Steampunk&#8230; nothing Steampunk seems to happen on a weekday.<\/p>\n<p>3. Monster, Monster High. The party never dies. <a href=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tumblr_mdmdjl3xxy1rk997oo1_r1_500.jpg\">In this photo Kima is wearing Ghoulia eye covers<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/play.monsterhigh.com\/en-ca\/index.html\">Monster High<\/a> is huge in our house. I like the concept&#8230; and the <a href=\"https:\/\/play.monsterhigh.com\/en-ca\/videos\/index.html\">web episodes<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>4. Predator Watch. Before the Olympics, Vancouver launched a <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20201029202047\/http:\/\/predatorwatch.ca\/\">predator watch campaign<\/a>. I haven&#8217;t seen any of the ads until now, but <a href=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tumblr_mekcuq6NLA1rk997oo1_1280.jpg\">they are a brilliant bit of Photoshop work<\/a> that my photo doesn&#8217;t come close to showing.<\/p>\n<p>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/tumblr_mebsjbhnLV1rk997oo1_500.jpg\">Maple Butter Pizza<\/a>. I LOVE this recipe. It&#8217;s easy to make and very very tasty. I&#8217;ve listed the original ingredients below with alternatives for gluten, corn and cow dairy allergies. I&#8217;m not sure how it would work with vegan or low cholesterol substitutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maple Butter Pizza<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 tbsp butter (or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthbalancenatural.com\/\">Earth Balance<\/a>, which is dairy, wheat, corn and chemical free)\n<li>3 tbsp granulated maple sugar\n<li>2-oz ball prepared pizza dough (we use JudyG&#8217;s Gluten-free Pizza crusts)\n<li>1 cup grated mozzarella cheese (or goat mozzerella)\n<li>12 oz bacon, cooked and crumbled\n<li>8-oz ball of fresh mozzarella sliced (or unripened goat cheese)\n<\/ul>\n<p>1. Heat the oven to 500F and coat a baking sheet.<br \/>\n2. In a small bowl, mix the butter and maple sugar.<br \/>\n3. Roll out the pizza dough and put it on the cooking sheet.<br \/>\n4. Sprinkle grated mozzarella evenly over the dough.<br \/>\n5. Add the bacon evenly over the pizza.<br \/>\n6. Arrange slices of mozzarella or goat cheese over the bacon.<br \/>\n7. Scoop and dollop the maple sugar mix evenly over the pizza (no need to be perfect)<br \/>\n8. Bake for 12-15 minutes<br \/>\n9. Let the pizza stand for 5-minutes before cutting.\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThere are only two weeks of my time in Vancouver left and&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wend.ca\/?p=50265\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;The Hobbit, Burlesque, and Maple Butter Pizza&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":69739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[139,16,486],"tags":[307,468],"class_list":["post-50265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-british-columbia","category-canada","category-vancouver","tag-gluten-free","tag-life-on-the-road","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50265"}],"version-history":[{"count":54,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95125,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50265\/revisions\/95125"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/69739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wend.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
