What’s On Your Plate Blog Challenge – Eating with Friends Edition

One of life’s great pleasures is sharing food with good friends. This fall, fellow (once) blogger Erica/Erika and her long-time friend (now mine also) Eduarda met me in Nanaimo for some fun and frolic. We ended up at Penny’s Palapa – one of my favourite dockside restaurants – and Erica generously sent me some photos. Penny’s closes at the end of September and we made it there just before season’s end.

Eduarda, Erica and me outside of Penny’s Palapa. I think Erica convinced our wait person to take this shot.
The inside, with harbour views.
Eduarda and I perusing the menu. Note the Mexican blankets on the chairs, in case you are feeling chilly.
I convinced Erica to try the margarita. It wasn’t very hard. 😁
Nor was it hard to convince myself to get one! 😉
What’s on my plate, you might ask? Fish tacos!!! Yum.

Of course, I can’t finish this post without a shot of a recent lunch out with Donna, at Heritage Indian Cuisine in Nanaimo. Donna wasn’t feeling too hungry so she decided to order the Indian breakfast, thinking it sounded like less food. Uh huh.

Yeah, that’s a honking big puff of Indian bread! I ordered the combo special plate (I always do), which ensures leftovers for at least a meal or two.

No matter where we go or what we order, eating out with friends is guaranteed to be a good time!

So what’s on your plate this month? My co-host Donna is on a social media break right now, so it’s just me this time. And no link-up because I don’t do that. But you can certainly share in the Comments, if you like! And I’d love to hear from you.

Rock on,

The WB

    Pretty sure you and I were the last people for the season at that wonderful restaurant a couple of falls ago. Fantastic food and people. Ah the memories.

  2. That’s a honking loaf for breakfast! Good thing she wasn’t hungry! Your fish tacos look interesting. Around here, they are paired with slaw. I miss the tomato-onion salsa thing. Dang! Now I’m hungry for Mexican food!

  3. Yes to everything in this post. The company (Ms Erica I miss your blog), the Margarita, and the puffy bread. Friends and good food – doesn’t get better than that. My plate is lean these days. Defluffing for Christmas stuffing.

    I love fish tacos!!! Those look fabulous as does the puff bread. I’d be in heaven eating either one of those delightful meals.

Here's where the magic happens. I love comments!
