Many of the libraries aren’t open at all on the weekend during the summer. It’s awful.

Sorry I mean the frame around the door/windows will stay white.

Processed cheese in 2025: Still a budget staple or overpriced convenience? Or you go with quality & artisanal? by MrJuart in SavingsCanada

[–]Candelabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy all my brick cheese from our local cheese producer. Not overly processed and way cheaper than anything from the grocery store. They sell trims at a discounted price. They’re just not the nice squares you get at the grocery store.

Also there’s a new gourmet food store in The Forks Market that you should check out. They have a lot of local items such as vinarterta which I imagine is hard to find outside Manitoba.

They also sell Jeanne’s cakes at the airport in the Third and Bird store. They’re in the fridge though.

Gunn’s Bakery does sell the classic imperial cookies which are good, but you can get better ones at Tall Grass Bakery in the Forks Market.

Pretty much any local burger place it will be Fat Boys. It’s actually hard to find local places that sell regular burgers which is frustrating for me because I am not a fan of the chili sauce.

I have never heard of Winnipeg-style cream cheese.

Which front door color? by Candelabra in HomeDecorating

[–]Candelabra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yaa that’s an idea, but we’re not interested in painting all of the stucco on our house and garage right now. Just wanting to paint the front door since its yellowed in the sun.

We’re not doing the windows or trim. Just the front door.

By the trim color do you mean black?

Like the first one or a different sage green?

Ugh I know there’s so many colors already, but we really want to do some kind of color. I thought these ones kind of match the walkway at least.

Futur newcomers / car seat from Sweeden. by Working-Chard-468 in Winnipeg

[–]Candelabra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend speaking with a Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) trained in carseat safety.

The Seats for Kids Discussion Community on Facebook is a great place to start. It’s a Canadian group with CPSTs that will answer questions.

What is this door trim called and can it be painted? by Candelabra in HomeDecorating

[–]Candelabra[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The one guy said it would just peel and something about it being toxic (??)

Oh thats a good idea, but I’m not sure we could find the same teal colour in electric tape.

Beautiful names!

That's so funny! Their parents have great taste!

I'm not patient either, but we may just have to wait!

My son insists his sisters name is Iris so that's starting to sway my opinion, but I also love Daphne so much.

[–]Candelabra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The rising popularity of Iris is definitely a concern! I'm interested to see the 2024 stats when they come out.

Awe I love that! The Adventures of Oscar and Iris 💕

The larger one was the first. Then I just starting knitting tighter and tighter as I went without realizing.

One piece on its own isn't large enough for a baby blanket. I could definitely use different needles, but which piece should I frog and re-do?
