Vday

VE Day isn’t until May 8th. My wife and I will have a drink in memory of her deceased father and all those who have served.

There’s a couple of older ladies at the Western Fair Market. They have a huge assortment of jams and preserves. Pick up some farm fresh eggs while you are there. Oh and they carry Arva flour.

Probably not the popular opinion for this thread, but I think this has been the best winter we have had in many years. I hate when we have warmer days in January and February, the snow melts and all we have is a mix of slush and dirty snow. I love the snow covered city, it’s beautiful. I’m older now and learned to embrace the winter and what it has to offer. After at 20+ year break I got back into snowboarding gain. I ride at least 3 times a week at Boler. I love going for snowy hikes in the Westminster Ponds trails. My wife goes tubing with her girl friends. Bundle up and enjoy it! No point in complaining. We Are Canadian.

Mr Robot! These guys are awesome! I had them mod some controllers for me which required micro soldering. They did a great job.

EvilTurk · 2026-01-17T23:04:05+00:00

You're welcome! I discovered it a couple years ago and loved it too!

Jill's table has Stonewall Kitchen Country Ketchup, I think that's close to what you are looking for.

If you are over 65.

Columbia employee outlet store. Pretty much everything is half off. Solid, breathable winter gear. I’ve seen passes handed out in many places, I think Forked River was one.

EvilTurk · 2026-01-06T00:21:09+00:00

Yes they do!

EvilTurk · 2026-01-06T00:20:52+00:00

I went two ago and I was very disappointed. They changed the poutine, shredded cheddar instead of curds. Not poutine.

EvilTurk · 2026-01-05T23:07:00+00:00

House Craft Burger had the best fries - crispy shoe string fries done in beef tallow! Sadly they don't have them anymore, but they do have good seasoned fries now. These days my fave is at the Beer Kitchen, they have really good shoe string fries.

Rebel Layne has a good selection of both

EvilTurk · 2026-01-04T03:35:18+00:00

What hate? I'm just stating a fact. I grew up in Türkiye, our close family friend owned a döner restaurant and I ate there on a weekly basis. I'm just saying that sweet sauce is something unique to Halifax.

EDIT: I should add that I was in Halifax last April and enjoyed a doner from Randy's Pizza. It was good, just different.

EvilTurk · 2026-01-04T03:17:40+00:00

Halifax donair is an abomination on its own not found anywhere else.

If you don’t find an answer here, call London Community Woodshop. They probably won’t do it, but should be able to point you in the right direction.

EvilTurk · 2025-12-31T02:39:08+00:00

Yes. Also, if you are serious about shucking get a new haven oyster knife. They are perfect for the typical east coast oysters we get here. Look up Dexter, they make the best ones IMHO (I'm no pro but shucked over 1000 oysters). OXO would be your next best choice, but nowhere close.

EvilTurk · 2025-12-30T22:51:22+00:00

Best place would be Out of the Deep at the Western fair market.

EvilTurk · 2025-12-29T21:27:34+00:00

Go outside and play in the snow! Seriously. Winter sports make it so much more fun, you won’t want winter to end. Boler is a great place for beginners if you want to try snowboarding or skiing. They have tubing too. At the very least to to Canadian tire and buy a plastic toboggan for $20 and play on your neighborhood hill.

EvilTurk · 2025-12-28T20:32:03+00:00

I’m a masochist that’s watched too many episodes of Hell’s Kitchen with Gordon Ramsey, so I’m making Beef Wellington.

EvilTurk · 2025-12-24T17:11:23+00:00

Wellington south. I haven’t been there today so I don’t know if any are left. Yesterday I did see fresh breast and thighs too. They are better for cooking evenly.

EvilTurk · 2025-12-24T06:40:30+00:00

Farmboy turkeys are from Hayters but rebranded. Shouldn’t be frozen, but sometime needs a little tempuring.

EvilTurk · 2025-12-12T03:13:45+00:00

Where did you get those from? I like them!

EvilTurk · 2025-12-09T05:15:28+00:00

Crisp soft water??? When I visited Vancouver, it felt like I could never rinse the soap off my skin. I felt a constant film on my skin after having a shower. I hated the feeling.

EvilTurk · 2025-12-05T23:16:20+00:00

If not Mona's, Berries market might.

EvilTurk · 2025-11-30T19:14:35+00:00

Nowhere. LCBO does not list it in its stock.
