This Timeless Moment

Relaunching Kloppmagic.ca

stefan — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:45:04 +0000

Yesterday I re-launched kloppmagic.ca my alternate home on the Internet. In the past I had simply used kloppmagic.ca to link out to my other areas of interest, such as this blog, my Flickr account, or websites I was trying to promote. With the relaunch I am giving myself an outlet to write about more technical [...]

Last weekend I went blueberry picking with my friend Oliver at John & John’s certified organic Blueberry Farm in Langley. I had found the farm online via the BC Farm Fresh website. Then double checked the farm at the Certified Organic website to make sure the farm was indeed organic. A quick call to find [...]

Hiking Mount Brunswick

Last Saturday I went for a hike with some friends up Mount Brunswick. Mount Brunswick’s trail begins at the same place where you start when hiking the lions in Lions Bay. We started bright and early and started powering up the mountain. The ascent up Brunswick was steep; much steeper than the Lions, making it [...]

Weekend in Victoria

A few weekends ago I made it out to Victoria for the first time in years. I had lived there previously with my brother Tony for 5 months while going to school at UVIC, before making the move to Vancouver. It was nice to make it out to the island again. Tony picked me up [...]

During my latest visit to my parents place in the West Kootenays I spent the majority of my time out at my parents camp site on the lake just south of Fauquier. I spent a good portion of my time out in a canoe exploring the lake, and taking in all the nature. Here are [...]

Huckleberry Waffles

An activity I love to do in the Kootenays during the summer is to forage for huckleberries. This past week while visiting my parents I had the opportunity to go out to our favorite spot in the Monashee Mountains and pick. The berries are abundant this year and within an hour I already had half [...]

Hike to Norvan Falls and Coliseum Mountain

stefan — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 23:09:15 +0000

Went for a hike yesterday with my Brother Rob, and my buddy Rob in Lynn Canyon. It was my first hike of the year so I wanted something pretty easy with the option of going a bit harder if I was feeling up to it. Norvan Falls and the Coliseum provided just that. The initial [...]

Erdbeertorte (Mom’s vs Mine)

stefan — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 22:10:09 +0000

One of the things that I always love about visiting my parents in the summer is getting to eat my mother’s fresh fruit flans. When I went back to my parents place recently, strawberries were just starting to get ripe so my mom put together her patented German Erdeertorte for us. The basic recipe for [...]

During my time back in Fauquier I made a day trip with my nephew Mateo to Vernon to visit my brother Michael and his family. It was a really nice summer day, so Mike decided to take out his boat on Kalamalka Lake to do a little wakeboarding, and just enjoy they hot summer day. [...]

Mini Pielettes with my Nephew

Every summer my nephew Mateo comes out for about a month to visit my parents and the rest of the family out west. I used his arrival as an excuse to make it out to my parents place in the Kootenays for a visit. Simply put, the Kootenays are absolutely glorious in the summer. Loads [...]
