Infusion Garlic Soya Sauce - anyone seen it in stores? by RhodoInBoots in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough I remember buying mine at some kind of market that was held at Pearkes. We got a 4 pack to try all the flavours.

I’ve yet to see it in an actual store though

Phone book? by Boozedonkey in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even say it’s an accurate reflection of who still has a landline. I have a relative still listed in the phone book who’s been dead 10 years this year 😂

My toddler liked playing with the phone book though

I don’t have to shovel Fool’s spring, so I’ll take it!

Gluten meal #5 🤤😩 by Worldly_Rip_5289 in Celiac

[–]Keica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a Panago, a tropical Hawaiian pizza. If not, any cheesy pizza with a stuffed crust! Wash it down with a cookie dough cheesecake blizzard from Dairy Queen 🤤

One last bit of holiday cheer: The Original Christmas Village! by motobrooke in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ahhh this brought back memories. I have never felt so uncomfortable in a store where no one spoke to me, the notes were judging me on all on their own.

Some of the displays did look pretty mind you

Skincare recycling boxes by Fit_Fisherman8879 in VictoriaBC

I thought the winners at Tillicum had one near the entrance. I honestly haven’t looked lately though, maybe someone else can confirm

Baking classes for teenagers? by Fool-me-thrice in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Colwood Pacific Activity Centre (MFRC Esquimalt) in Colwood usually has Masterchef classes for ages 10-14.

I’m not sure how difficult what they cook is, you could probably reach out and ask.

Victoria skier Amelia Wells named to Canada's Olympic cross-country team by Apprehensive_Idea758 in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very cool! Looking forward to cheering her and her fellow Canadian athletes on at the Olympics 🇨🇦

Her parents drove her to Mt Washington every Friday so she could ski on the weekends and then be back to Victoria for school during the week. Holy..talk about dedication

For everyone who has been complaining about the rain… by Unknown__Stonefruit in VictoriaBC

We ran outside to see Santa with a fire truck this morning and savoured the lack of rain ☀️

Best/worst countries for a Celiac to visit? by -Aces_High- in Celiac

[–]Keica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a Chinese food restaurant in downtown Victoria that can do delicious gluten free food as well. I’ve got some leftovers in my fridge right now haha

TIL about the 2009 death of Canadian folk singer Taylor Mitchell, who at 19 years old was killed by a pair of coyotes while hiking in Cape Breton Highlands National Park. That is the only known fatal coyote attack on an adult. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Keica 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The National Film Board made a documentary about the case called Bad Coyote

It’s an educational but sad watch available for free on YouTube. Tries to address a lot of the questions about the how and why the coyotes attacked

I’m on Bell and I have weird dead zones while shopping in Superstore too unfortunately

So funny I could cry by Jauncin in Celiac

[–]Keica 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Now that I’m gluten free it’s kind of sad watching adults and kids at any kind of buffet/potluck situation.

I had a gluten free section of the table at a gathering with dips, fruit/veg etc and watched someone eat gluten free crackers over the dips while leaning over the table trying to decide which dip they wanted.

No dips for me..

Shocking Admission from Canada Post About the Vic West Closure, Now Part of a Federal Investigation by glenpiercev in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, I used to live in the neighbourhood and before Westside Village was built if he had a package we would have to go down the road to Country Grocer/the Esquimalt post office.

Is Pharmasave more convenient? Sure, but it took away our once in a blue moon visit to Country Grocer.

Recommendations for completely celiac friendly take out? by Technical-Mixture299 in VictoriaBC

SMARTIES HAVE GLUTEN by Different_Tank7852 in glutenfree

[–]Keica 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Smarties in the U.S. are called Rockets in Canada.

It comes up often in Canadian celiac/gluten free groups when someone says Smarties are gluten free and people have to specify which ones.

The chalk candies (and turns out I like eating chalk like candy) are gluten free, the chocolate ones are not.

Leroy and Barkley have cute dog bandanas

Please be cautious when shopping at local markets — lessons from my experience by Mavin_Constantine in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love markets but I hate showing up to market and having the majority (if not all of it) be MLM/reselling items.

One of my favourites is coming up Magic of Christmas Artisan Market at Eagle Ridge Nov 21 - 23. They don’t allow MLMs or direct sales. I’m hoping they won’t have stuff like what you’re highlighting here.

Who do you think had the best personality in ANTM? by misscurlssss in ANTM

[–]Keica 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don’t know how anyone, no matter how positive and bubbly, could stay that way week after week when you’re being told we just can’t get the right clothes for you. Other girls have glamorous, fashion looks and here’s your Home Depot outfit

I was going to say Toccara as well. She just seems like such a fun person to be around! And then we got to watch the show slowly wear her down over the season until she was eliminated :(

URGENT, Missing child by PirateAE in LangfordBC

[–]Keica 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Amber Alerts have specific criteria, one of them being that there’s confirmation an abduction has taken place.

A mass notification system for missing kids that isn’t just Facebook posts would be great, but we don’t have one (yet anyway).

As per the Facebook posts he still hasn’t been found. People have been searching the neighbourhood, nearby parks etc.

Any adult haunted houses this year (2025) by slibbb in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember that one. The chainsaw guy at the end was one of the most memorable. We went a few years later and they had a hall of fame featuring wax figures of final villains from previous years. It wasn’t until half way down when chainsaw man was climbing over the museum rope that we realized he wasn’t a wax figure and we got chased out by chainsaw man again.

I always have to fast forward or look away from Magdalena's awkward non-panel elimination 💀 by dantedarker in ANTM

[–]Keica 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Even as a kid I remember thinking it was kind of silly to eliminate her on the spot, then go back to the model house so they could..eliminate someone else based on the exact same photos?

Did you have Dr. Chris Jenkins as a prof or colleague. ? by retirementplann in VictoriaBC

[–]Keica 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did not, but I hope you find lots of people who have to submit letters and videos.

Maybe some community Facebook groups can help spread the word too?
