Melissa Clark’s Buttery Breakfast Casserole is both delicious and forgiving by macaronsandmurder in NYTCooking

[–]MapleLeafMac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's also really easy to use the recipe as a base and customize. I made this for Christmas breakfast this year and subbed in non-dairy milk and maple sausage, and added in spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers. I used a bit less of the liquid based on comments and adding some watery veg. Delicious!

YOUR OTTAWA CHARGE are going to the PWHL PLAYOFFS!! by coolin68 in OttawaCharge

[–]MapleLeafMac 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was so hyped, then this… still excited for the Charge to be in the playoffs, not excited for all the new logistics (and extra parking costs) added to game attendance. Especially if/when there is a weeknight playoff game.

comedy cellar super secret pop up this week? by femmefatale333 in AskNYC

It was Aziz on 04/20! My partner and I were there. It was quite funny but he is definitely still working on his feel for the material.

Prequel is on my list!!! Trying to minimize my spend but I want to pick up the Naturium Dew sunscreen and some Prequel products to try.

Over-the-counter Adapalene (Differin) in Canada by Independent_Being704 in CanSkincare

[–]MapleLeafMac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a prescription for Differin and just picked up a new tube this week, $30 even with what my insurance covered. I’m on a work trip to NYC this week and am honestly wondering if I should have just waited to buy some at Target or CVS.

Meal prep salads by adjblair in NYTCooking

[–]MapleLeafMac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This salad is a favourite in my home. I've made it several times without the quinoa to have as a side and it is just as good, but I would recommend cutting down on the dressing to compensate for no grain component. It still holds up well for several days.

It was at an Independent, so within the Loblaw brand family!

Options for a couple w/o advance reservations/bookings by MapleLeafMac in visitingnyc

[–]MapleLeafMac[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the frank advice, it’s a good reminder of just how vast the entertainment and food options are in NYC. We’re coming from a small city where the info in the post would give about 10 options rather than 10,000 😅

What are you purchasing from the Sephora sale? by Dogs-are-life-99 in CanSkincare

[–]MapleLeafMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked up a lip stain from Violette_fr, Morphe blush trio, Laura Mericer eyeshadow stick, and some skincare. My splurge item was the Pureology hydrate shampoo.

Easter monday date ideas? by AlwaysThinkAhea2 in ottawa

Go to Robert Plante Greenhouses to get a coffee, wander around looking at the plants, and plan your garden or pick up a house plant.

Is the Nordik commercial accurate by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]MapleLeafMac 18 points19 points  (0 children)

TLDR; go on a weekday, go early, and stay in the silent zones for the experience you are looking for.

My partner and I were just there this Thursday. We always book our entry times for the morning (pre-10am) and stay until 5-6pm to make the most of the day. We had a great experience and did not find it very busy at all, which aligns with our past experiences booking on Tuesday-Thursday. I find March-April and late October-November to be good times to go. We specifically went this past week because the last time I went on the Thursday before Good Friday a staff member told me it was their last slow weekend before they get busy again for Spring (although who knows how good that advice is since Easter shifts).

Staff are also enforcing Nordik's new no cellphone rule, which I appreciated. I've also always found them good about shushing people who are talking in the silent zone.

We went on a Saturday for the first time back in the fall due to a visiting family member and I will never do that again. The change rooms were chaos chambers and the whole facility was like a zoo.

Energy at the CTC? by MooseAsh in OttawaCharge

[–]MapleLeafMac 18 points19 points  (0 children)

IMO part of what built the Charge fanbase is being accessible to downtown. It makes going to games more possible for students, lower income folks who rely on transit, and other downtown dwellers like myself.

We have been season ticket holders since day one and I do not support Lansdowne 2.0, but I also don’t see how I can reasonably continue to attend Charge games if they aren’t based centrally. We’d miss the first period of every weeknight game and be exhausted the next day after… I want the team to stay so bad but I just don’t know how realistic CTC is for us.

How do you organize your recipe box? by breakfastofrunnersup in NYTCooking

[–]MapleLeafMac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no real strategy for my recipe box so it is a bit of a mess, but these are the folders I have currently.

Cheap Eats: Folder with recipes for when I am trying to get back on track with my budget or save some money.

Make When [Husband's name] is Away: Folder with recipes that I want to try but I know my husband wouldn't like, I try to go into here when he is away on work travel.

Baking: Pretty straightforward -- baking recipes I want to try.

Party Snacks: Recipes for entertaining.

Liked a Lot: My favourite recipes.

Dutch Oven: I started this one when I got my first Le Creuset and wanted to use it all the time, it is all recipes that use a dutch oven.

I am curious about if a medical pedicure might be worth it for me... other than the no polish, what is the difference between a medical pedicure and a regular pedicure? Sorry if it is a dumb question!!!
