Brush off the chilly January blues and focus on the warm fuzzy feelings that come with Valentine’s Day and supporting a great local cause. A Loving Spoonful CandyGrams
are back this year and are available for purchase now, ensuring your
special-someone gets a funny, sweet, or flirty delivery on this cheerful
day.
A Loving Spoonful CandyGrams include a special-edition Valentine’s Day card, a message of your choice, two delicious Purdy’s heart-shaped chocolates, a complimentary McDonald’s Signature McWrap, fresh mints in a stylish tin from Yelp, and a Shamin Jewellers sparkly heart cell phone charm.
Sponsors donate all the items included in the CandyGrams so proceeds from the sale of CandyGrams will go directly to assisting those with HIV/AIDS. Each year, A Loving Spoonful’s volunteers deliver over 100,000 meals to those in need, and with very little government funding they rely on the generosity of the community.
Although A Loving Spoonful is based in Vancouver, their CandyGrams can be sent anywhere in Canada — and they only cost $10!

Gung Haggis Fat Choy 2014
Gung Haggis Fat Choy
is the annual celebration of Chinese New Year mixed with Robbie Burns
Day that epitomizes the sense of community and collaborative spirit that
thrives in Vancouver. The event has been postponed this year so be sure to make note of the new date!
Photo by Deb Martin
Celebrating BC Scottish and Chinese pioneer culture, history through music, poetry and culinary fusion, Gung Haggis Fat Choy will take place Sunday, March 16, 2014 starting at 5:00pm at Floata Restaurant (180 Keefer St).
The new date is St. Patrick’s Day Weekend so the event will be inclusive of Irish, Chinese, Scottish and First Nations cultures for a reinvigorated Gung Haggis Fat Choy that will celebrate our province’s pioneer history and the cultural fusion of today’s diversity.
Single tickets are $65 and group tickets are $650 for a table of 10. Each ticket includes a service charge. Purchase online in advance.
Founded by Toddish McWong (Todd Wong) in 1998, Gung Haggis Fat Choy events have sprouted up across the Pacific Northwest and on Vancouver Island. In 2005, the dinner moved to the largest Chinese Restaurant in North America at the time (Floata) and has since been attended by Mayors, MLAs, and celebrities.
Menu highlights previous years have included deep-fried haggis wonton and haggis pork dumpling (su-mei) along with appetizer courses. “Neeps” served Chinese style in the form of pan-fried turnip cake, dim sum style. Traditional haggis is served with Chinese lettuce wrap. Toss in poetry, music, and sing-along tunes like My Chow Mein (Bonny) Lies Over the Ocean and When Asian Eyes Are Smiling and you’ve got yourself a party.
For more information follow Ricepaper Magazine on Twitter and Facebook and be sure to mark your calendars for St. Patrick’s Day weekend.

Vancouver Photos of the Week
I appreciate the beautiful diversity of Vancouver every day of the week but even more so when John and I are away in Iowa,
where drifting snow is closing highways and my Cascadian body doesn’t
know how to deal with -16C temperatures. I’ve enjoyed browsing the Miss604 Flickr Pool of Vancouver photos even more this week while I’ve been away and have picked out a few gems that I would like to showcase:
