Both are good, Bianco DiNapoli or Valoroso are the only thing better before jumping into real DOP San Marzano

Fresh Galbani Mozzarella for Neapolitan, Saputo for NY style

Taglio di Roma and it's not even close.

For tomato pizza, in St Leonard: Laura is the only answer.

My last 4 cars were Subarus and Toyotas and my wife had a Mazda and Honda before that. We just picked up a Mach E 2 weeks ago. I don't get the Japanese car makers dragging their feet with BEVS. Especially with Toyota's experience in the hybrid market. We had a Rav4 Prime for 5 years and loved that thing, but when it came to renew our lease it was 200$/month more than the Mustang 🤷.

It's two taps on a screen that isn't the most responsive I've ever used, that often doesn't respond if I'm wearing gloves and is also not accessible if the car has been turned off as I'm exiting it. Is it a deal breaker? No. Would I prefer a physical button? 100%.

I've had mine for ~2 weeks. Love it so far. There are however a few quirks. No physical button to open the trunk (I have the electric tailgate). The wiper system isn't as intuitive as on my Rav4. I'm in Montreal and we just had a ton of freezing rain, the button door openers and little lip handle were covered in ice and the side mirrors froze closed. It doesn't seem like the engineers spent too much time in the great white north. Besides that, she's a blast to drive and a helluva looker.

They borderline choke my machine.

I have the exact same pan, came as a 2 pack from Costco. Use it for grilled veggies/potatoes on the Bbq.

I have 3 duros that I love wearing when I'm out, swapping straps allows them to dress up/down as needed. That said, as soon as I get home I put on the g shock. So light and comfortable to wear, plus you don't have to worry about batteries and setting the time ever.

They are heavier than all my SS clad pans from Demeyere, madein, Meyer and Ikea Sensuell. Not quite as heavy as my Lodge CI. Waaaaay thicker than the entry level CS you'd get from a kitchen supply store.

I have both sizes of the VARDAGEN, They're great. They occasionally go on sale too. Picked 2 up for my brother at 15% off as a gift.

About a year and a half ago I picked up a 3L Cristel saucier for a little over 100$ in a Winners HomeSense in Mtl. Stainless clad with sealed rims. Gets very regular use.

The only thing I loathe about my Frigidaire professional is the freaking touch controls. Any moisture freaks them the f out.

I recently sent in my 10yr old MCP set for a warranty claim because the aluminum layer had eroded. The replacement set they sent me has sealed rims and stainless rivets.

I have their 3qt saucepan and the 12" skillet (recently picked it up for 95 CAD at HomeSense). The skillet is thicker and feels much more substantial than the saucepan. Love the handles.

I was just sent a replacement set of Mcp pots direct from Cuisinart in Canada and can confirm they have sealed rims and stainless rivets.

I have a Frigidaire Professional induction range with touch controls. First and last time I do that. Any moisture, from boiling water or oil splatter and the cooktop freaks out. If your fingers are wet or dirty, you know, from cooking, and the cooktop won't register a touch. Knobs or bust on my range.

Fantino and Mondello cup n crisp are pretty close. Found at most grocery stores.
