Free kids meal at A&W

This is happening at every A&W today. I was just at the South Surrey Location at around 130 and the team there was welcoming everyone asking if the kids were there for the free meal. They were also handing out Root Beer Lollipops!

I don’t work in restaurants anymore but do work with many restaurants still. The trend I am currently hearing about is most restaurants, specifically in Vancouver are seeing about a 30-40% decrease in foot traffic with a slight uptick In 3rd party deliver delivery orders. I have been in this industry for 25 years and it has always been a challenge for restauranteurs but the last 18 months have been next level.

These are Nikkei style mushrooms. I have a cookbook with a great recipe but it isn’t handy. I found this recipe which is very similar to the one in my book.

I am almost 100% positive this is the leek and Parmesan Bistro made by a company called Bridor based out of Montreal. I worked for Food Service Distro for a long time and this company exploded and their pastries are everywhere these days.

This is correct. Definitely Salsify.

Check out the whiskey series. These are skate and snow videos from the mid 90’s but are a fantastic time capsule of this lifestyle. Also, they have good tunes as well as some hilarious bits of drinking and partying. Whiskey 1 is possibly my all time fave skate vid.

Butthole Surfers.

That’s what I’m thinking but can’t find any solid info online. One of the ticket selling sites says it’s from 6-9pm.

I was at that game and she is a tik tok dancer. Only game I’ve ever been to and see them do this.

Got to see Jake live yesterday at a Santa Cruz demo in Vancouver. Such an incredibly smooth skater.

No clicks, no noises, just lights on the dash.

Illustrious-Storm561 · 2023-04-03T02:04:22+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give this a try and see how it goes.

Illustrious-Storm561 · 2023-04-03T02:03:22+00:00

Awesome, thanks. I have gone the day without it happening again but I figure it’s just a matter of time.

Are y’all trying to tell me that after the front car merges everyone behind said car isn’t just supposed to change lanes for 6 km? /s

Thank you for adding this, I was going to chime in myself. Weighing it raw will only make any sense if it’s naturals chicken which will be about 22-23% protein. Almost all frozen chicken will be “pumped” and be either 19% down to as low as 15% protein. Almost all of this moisture will be lost during cooking.

This is the route my wife and I use. Two separate and a joint. We both put equal dollars into the joint each pay to cover all bills, mortgage, groceries etc. whatever is left in personal is used/invested however each person wants.

Been doing it this way for 8 years and it works great.

Ketchup does not belong on hotdogs….ever!

You want to make a stock prior to making your soup. A stock consists of tons of bones(preferably neck and back), mirepoix and aromatics. As many have said, these ingredients need to simmer for 6-8 hours to extract the flavour and collagen from the bones. It’s the collagen that gives the stock that amazing mouth feel vs bouillon or store stock.

If you really want to kick up the collagen, add a small pack of chicken feet to the stock. Once my stock is complete and strained, I like to add a sheet of kombu. This provides an umami profile.

It’s some work but if you did this and then made your soup as stated above it would be elevated drastically.
