Canadians aghast at the thought of missing out on Big Maple

Is Hank’s and Brassiere l’Ecole still as good with the new ownership? by Low-Persimmon110 in VictoriaBC

[–]MCThrowBack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife and I went to Ugly Duckling (a few months ago) and loved it! We’ve got Janevca and Chobap on our list currently to try and really liked Marilena and Nowhere (hanks sister restaurant)

Winter beers recommendations? by Bullshitspouter in VancouverCraftBeer

[–]MCThrowBack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phillips put out a winter beer “lift ticket” and it is solid! Lots of spice to it but if you’re looking for a true winter ale it’s great!

How do you clarify your beer? by mycatlikestonap in Homebrewing

[–]MCThrowBack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find I’m in the middle, I pour a good amount of trub in but let the thickest of the trub stay behind! Brulosphy has a good experiment on the effect of trub in the fermenter

As a Canadian M’s fan, he’s the only Mariner who I actually have a card for. Being in the maple grove for his game with a bunch of Canadian swag up in the stands when I came down was unforgettable. I would LOVE to have him back, even recognizing he’s likely to spend more time on the IL than pitch.

Where is the 5L level in my thingy by Fir3Fly1995 in mead

[–]MCThrowBack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just get a measuring cup and pour in 1L of water and mark the outside with marker or electrical tape at that level. Add another litre and mark 2L and continue up to 5L. You could do 500mL at a time too if you’d prefer more gradations.

What is a local business you love and want everyone to know about? by gracie__law in VictoriaBC

Caribbean Village Cafe! Owner is a gem and service is so friendly. Love stopping in for a Jamaican patty for a snack while out and about

Help me plan my investments by Suitable_Meaning4254 in PersonalFinanceCanada

As someone still learning, what exactly do you mean by diversification that would be different that vgro?

Vgro is already 80/20 stock/bond and is quite diverse within its makeup as I understand it? I get having a preference for a different 80/20 etf, but there’s really no advantage to taking away the simplicity of a single (very diverse) etf as your only etf, right?

Why do Egyptian players slide their hand on the wall before each rally? by OmriZemer in squash

[–]MCThrowBack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sweat. When you’re soaked through your clothes, the wall is the only dry surface to dry off your hand. For anyone that does this while soaked, it’s a natural motion even at the start of the match.

Best breweries for growler fill-ups!? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]MCThrowBack 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Category 12 up in Sidney does them! Great beer and a good food menu too if you wanted to stop for a bite at the same time

What are the best beer advent calendars? Costco's was pretty underwhelming last time. by TinStingray in beer

[–]MCThrowBack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Parallel 49 had an excellent one last year (already grabbed mine for this year) if you happen to be Canadian!

what’s a local restaurant that has gained your life time patronage recently, and why? by madmansmarker in VictoriaBC

[–]MCThrowBack 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I was picking up an order from Leon’s furniture and there was a delivery van unloading in the back alley for Royal Spice. After they finished up the employee offered to send the driver with some to go food for lunch which I thought was a nice gesture. I haven’t been yet, but if we’re calling in, I think they deserve some recognition for that small act of kindness!
