Vacation Dishes

I'm here with the dishes we prepared during our vacation trip at Harstene Island.We started our trip at Friday evening,it was like 2hrs drive from our home.It was rainy day as usual in Seattle, went in two cars,one gang went first they reached beach house and was waiting for us.On the other side,we lost our way,went far beyond the destination,reached some dead end.Thought like we reached first, started key questing.Actually caretaker was not there , key was placed under some log near the community entrance,details was given to us clearly.It was raining heavily,we began to search key,under some logs found there and was looking for community board.ohhh...atlast came to know that hm mm...we were at wrong place ,almost thirty miles ahead from destination.Fun was that,we were searching key in a log near a Pub ,not the community entrance...ha ha ha....it was a real fun key questing...
Now coming to foods, Here goes few recipes of my friend's special.
