About Us

Life in the Lower Mainland is primarily a restaurant review blog. It started out as a personal blog, but because I eat out quite frequently, it's basically become a blog about my dining experiences. Only once in a while you may see a few other things, often food related such as specific products I got from the supermarket or a free sample I got from SocialNature.

Since people do often take pictures for Instagram or Facebook, I have been convinced by friends to just loosen up and relax on my previous not-taking-pictures policy to remain an uncover/anonymous reviewer. So we now have pictures. Whereas in the past, I had largely adhered to a no-pictures policy. I'm still pretty sure no one knows I'm going to blog about their restaurant, though.
Nowadays I try to have a pen in the picture to give an idea of scale.

Restaurant reviews tend to be more about individual dishes, and I'm sure every restaurant has winners and duds, so don't let a damning review make you think the entire menu is lousy. It is surely not. You can just avoid what I ordered to narrow your list of choices and increase your chances of getting a great meat.

I am open to suggestions as to where to go and what to eat! If you are a restaurant, I could possibly write a post in your favour but it'd have to be clearly disclosed as such. If you ask me to visit your restaurant, I most likely will, but I really can't make any promises about what I'm going to write about it...

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines). Here's the e-mail exchange: Melissa e-mail #1 Here is my picture as attached. Please e-mail me details what you are looking for along with your pictures. Thanks and waiting to hear from you soon.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
