Best Run Toastmasters Joke of the day – August 4th 2011

In my Vancouver SAP Best Run Toastmasters public speaking club I present the Joke of the Day.

I first talk about democracy in Toastmasters, then move into a computer programmer’s joke, and then give a religious joke.

I highly recommend joining a Toastmasters club in your area to learn better communication and public speaking skills, meet new people, and have a lot of fun!
Visit www.toastmasters.org/ for more info.

Thanks very much!

Provence Marinaside
1177 Marinaside Crescent
Vancouver, BC, Canada
phone: 604-681-4144

We enjoyed a really wonderful meal at Provence. Provence is quite a high end dining establishment – the food is extremely amazing and delicious, and for a special treat I definitely think it is worth the upscale price. The restaurant also has a great view of the False Creek waterfront from its Yaletown location.

Shown in video:
-Looking out the restaurant window at the patio and waterfront seawall beyond.

-The Wild Pacific Salmon entree
made with bamboo rice, shaved asparagus salad, crustacean emulsion

-The Seared Sablefish entree
made with snap peas, fingerling potatoes, fresh mint, roasted roma tomato, and a chorizo-tomato broth.

-For dessert:
a wonderful Lemon Tarte, made with hazelnut brittle and whipped cream.

Thanks very much!
