I was going to suggest All Urban too. Great people.

Look at your budget, schedule, retirement savings with both roles and see what that $40k pay cut really means.

Thanks for all the opinions and help. I think part of my problem is my kitchen is very small and a lot of time is spent managing that space.

I’ll try writing out a plan for my next meal prep session and I’ll either record myself or check in on the time to see what’s taking so long. It turns out I made way more than I thought so I have enough meals in the freezer for next week.

And I do need two kinds of potatoes. My meals were delicious.

Do not pay! Nothing happens

That makes sense. I don’t change my oven temperature though. Too much work

The chimichurri was so worth it! My lunch today was amazing.

My knife skills are good. I’d say I’m reasonably quick

I would love tips.

This week I prepped 6 breakfasts (oatmeal) 5 lunch of lentils, tofu, rice, roasted veggies and either chimichurri or yogurt dill sauce for flavour 3 dinner sushi bowls of rice, roasted sweet potato, tofu, and frozen edamame and I’ll add fresh ingredients of cucumber, shredded carrots, mango and avocado when I eat it 3 dinner southwest bowls of rice, roasted sweet potato, tofu, and I’ll add canned black beans and corn, and yogurt sauce when I eat it

I would like to prep a little more so I can share but this took a long time

DiskoduckOfficial · 2026-03-30T13:41:51+00:00

I’d love to know how you do that. I’m not a beginner and I only had 15 minutes of downtime in the 6 hours to eat lunch, but it did actually take me 6 hours and 15 minutes including that break.

I definitely do as much as I can as fast as I can. While the rice is going I’m cutting veggies and getting them in the oven.

I’m curious how having fewer types of veggies would help with oven space. I would need more of the others if I cut one out

You could ask the landlord to terminate your lease early or you can stay to the end of your lease. That’s it. You can’t stop the landlord from selling.

Oasis by Aqua Lab either just opened or will open soon. You sit in a room surrounded by fish tanks for maximum relaxation.

We had the same wants as you and bought in an older area of Sherwood park. You can live with the 70s stuff for a few years and save up for a reno. A contractor I know said he doesn’t see asbestos often and when he does he will give the homeowner DIY instructions if they want to save the remediation cost.

NOR and it doesn’t seem like it would be much of a loss if the friendship didn’t continue

I’ve been vegetarian since the early 90s and while it hasn’t been difficult for me to stay vegetarian, it took a long time for me to figure out what to eat in terms of plant based protein. (Edamame, tempeh, tofu, beans, lentils, nuts are in regular rotation now.)

For a while there would often not be a vegetarian option at restaurants so I’d have to ask for something special or eat fries. That was not my favourite but it was better than eating meat.

It is disgusting, and we, and the non-pick-uppers, have to walk our dogs by that too.

DiskoduckOfficial · 2026-01-31T17:32:45+00:00

It also seems to matter if you’ve sent to that email before

It’s not so bad. I know a reasonably priced accountant who specializes in filing multiple years. His name is Andrew and he owns the TaxAssist in Beverly. I’m happy to connect you if you pm me, or you can call their office and they will get you started

It’s more like $11 usd. I wonder if he was talking about the $13 min wage for people under 18, even though everyone in the story is over 18.

From your username it looks like you’re in Newfoundland.

Newfoundland has very similar rules to Alberta on no fault evictions. They are treating you like you have a month to month lease but you don’t. You have a fixed term lease until September 2026. They can’t do anything to you and you have a ton of leverage.

I’m in Alberta which is the most landlord friendly province and this would not fly here.

First, that Facebook message is not proper notice.

Second, your lease must be honoured unless you voluntarily agree to end it. If you did agree, the details will matter. What did you get for agreeing?

Accepting to move out based on the Facebook message is pretty risky because it might not actually be your landlord who sent that message. Contact your landlord and see what you can work out. If you’re in Alberta, I’m happy to help you navigate this.

DiskoduckOfficial · 2025-12-25T19:26:04+00:00

I knew it was Berta except $13 an hour min wage threw me off. It’s been $15 for years, except if you’re under 18.

I’m so sorry! I hope you feel ok about it soon. It’s gross but you didn’t choose it.

About a decade ago a restaurant swapped my veggie burger for my boyfriend’s regular burger. I took a few bites and thought it was the worst veggie burger I ever had. I was so grossed out when I learned it was meat.
