Preserving Classes

We are excited to continue offering preserving classes at The Depanneur in 2014. Stay tuned for details.

Interested in learning how to preserve in the privacy of your own home. I am offering individual or group home classes. I will come prepared with the recipe, the tools and the supplies. You and your friends will walk away with the knowledge and some tasty treats. If this sounds interesting send me an email.

Hoi An is a dangerous place






But not for the reasons one might think. The vietnamese people here are very friendly, the streets are quiet, there are amazing restaurants and there are tailors on every street...hundreds of them. We met a travel guide who hooked us up with a tailor (I am not sure if we should thank him or curse him). For $230 debbie has gotten custom made for her (are you ready for this?), 2 dresses, 4 pairs of pants, a wool winter jacket, 3 blouses and a blazer. It is madness. You flip through magazines and find something you like, then you look at all the fabric in the shop and they measure you...the very next day you go for a fitting. With Deb they got it perfect the first time on almost everything. It is making our heads spin. WOW! We have to get out of this place.

We have found the most amazing restaurant here as well called Mango. Last night for dinner I have shrimp wrapped in beef. Oh my god it was amazing. I think it even beat the sea bass experience I had in Vancouver once a long time ago where I wanted to kiss the chef when I finished my meal. I should have kissed the chef here as he is quite cute. HA!

Our friend Lee who we met in Cambodia is coming to Vietnam to travel with us again. He gets here this afternoon...so at least we have someone to carry all our shopping :)

I am posting some shots, people we have met in Vietnam, our hotel here in Hoi An and anything else I can manage to upload.
