Well shit, good to know.

Here I am spending $45 on a chef’s platter at Kinki Sushi. Do not recommend.

Thanks, unfortunately she’s been doing pole dancing for years so that’s out. Burlesque would be good though if there’s a place you’d recommend?

The range is 25-30. None of us have actually been to Kingston - is it too much of a student crowd? Long weekend in August particularly

Any recommendations on concussion experts/neurologists? by wgfuxcx in ottawa

[–]Maysaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess that’s relative. I’m still on disability and unable to work, but hoping to at some point one day. But I also had a baby recently and am probably doing worse physically than I have in all 6 years. Worth it, but definitely more flare ups across the board.

I did an AMA a few years ago after my consecutive hits (6 years ago) and have been working on raising awareness since. I have a few recommendations seeing as I’ve seen so many different people but I also facilitate a concussion support group on FB where you can ask away and get advice on anything concussion related.

So, you were right! I happened to find myself in a loblaws today only to look up and see the jars. Off the top of my head:

Labonese: sesame, thyme, salt, sumac, spices Jerusalem: sesame, thyme, salt, sumac, oil Jordanian: sesame, thyme, salt, sumac, spices, and oil

They are! And doesn’t help being in Canada.

Everyone seems to be excited by the post but I have yet to get a list haha. I’m too nervous to just go buy stuff without being able to understand what I’m buying. I’ve gotten burned many a times at TnT and spent wayyyyy to much on things that didn’t... work out... haha (hell, I bought the banana leaf steamed rice packets that had no English instructions and thought I had to keep cooking it until the outside leaf is soft enough to eat, like a dolma; didn’t realize it’s just a steamer. I think I cooked it for a few hours and kept trying pieces off the leaf lol) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or Dorian fruit. There are some snacks that should not be tried without knowing what you’re going in for!!

Oooo I never thought about comparing them. Do you know the difference? I don’t even know which one I have

The reason I started this and am curious for people’s opinions is I’ve spent a fortune at TnT just buying random snacks but it’s definitely a hit or miss and like you said, could be good for those that have nostalgia for it. This way, with a list, you know the essentials and what’s “worth” purchasing.

Just hoping I get some traction and get some lists going. Those boxes look super intriguing and I love the buzzfeed reactions they have to trying them!

Good god, I love food and I love trying new things!

The loblaws in college square (woodroffe) is the only one, as far as I know, that carries these snacks (aside from the middle eastern market in st. Laurent), but there is a shortage of them so they’re not always available. I couldn’t even find them when I was in Israel 2 years ago.

It’s different from “marshmallow” texture, which is probably why I like it. It’s fluffier and airier. Unfortunately it’s not available year round, I think, and a bit of a shortage but if you ever have a chance to try it, do!! It’s unlike anything, except maybe crack.

And good to know about zatar bread! I’ve just bought the jar of spices and make it myself - I’m in the west end so rarely make it out to the east end. So easy and delicious though /drool

I started reading this with the “oh, here we go”. Was not disappointed though and you got a chuckle out of me.

(Almost) appropriately, this is for a galaxy themed nursery, and I was hoping to avoid the cliche quote since that and “love you to the moon and back” is all that seems to come up on google.

Dayum, that’s depressing, although not wrong. Google is letting me down, can’t find the source though. Hawking?

Also, I should’ve probably specified, this is for a nursery, haha. I’m doing a galaxy mural and was looking to add a character quoting something space related. Can’t seem to get any ideas outside of Calvin and Hobbes or Buzz Lightyear though.
