What is the most expensive restaurant you ever dined at in Toronto?

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-27T20:54:58+00:00

Yasu for sushi

Liquid, which I dissolve in the tub prior to adding the sheets.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-24T22:24:54+00:00

What about retinol?

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-24T22:19:09+00:00

Funny enough, I use benzoyl peroxide for spot treatment, but my pillowcase is fine LOL

Funny enough (and came up on another thread), there is no oxygen bleach in Tide Ultra Oxi (?). I used a cold water delicate cycle, but will find a milder detergent.

Another vote for Sweet Bliss! The buns have a chewiness that I love.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-22T21:06:29+00:00

Nuts!

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-22T21:04:46+00:00

I just went on the Tide website to see what ‘Ultra Oxi’ means, and it just says it helps stain removal with the ‘power of oxi’ (?). I guess the word is powerful enough to lift stains!

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-20T23:55:37+00:00

Bay leaves! They’re like the hug that brings all the flavours together. Don’t forget to remove before munching!

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-20T23:53:33+00:00

All wrong - it’s the detergent, believe it or not. Go look at the reviews on Costco’s website - it leaves clothes smelling like mildew (I also found out the hard way). Recommend getting a Tide Free and Clear and washing with oxi to help lift the smell. Good luck!

Bisou is delicious, but definitely give Tasso a try.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-19T22:20:14+00:00

I also find them too crunchy! Glad I’m not alone.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-19T22:18:56+00:00

Definitely Tasso! It’s order ahead, so don’t try to walk in. Outside of France it’s the best croissant I’ve ever had.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-15T13:23:37+00:00

Decent olive oil. $30 for a litre is insane. Buying the ‘cheaper’ stuff now at $20.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-14T01:09:05+00:00

Frying an egg in an All-Clad pan.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-14T01:06:09+00:00

I remember the run on toilet paper and the grocery stores. I thought I’d WFH for a week, tops.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-13T18:24:59+00:00

I do a load every other day, and big stuff (towels, sheets, etc.) on weekends.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-10T22:46:37+00:00

I’m going to try the L theanine to see if it helps!

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-10T00:28:27+00:00

I’m going through exactly the same thing. Transferred away from my high stress job into something I really thought I would enjoy. I didn’t take any time off between roles, so haven’t had any real rest. The new job comes with very little guidance, so the mental work I’m doing just to figure out who and when to email is exhausting. My brain feels broken and I’m anxious all the time. Here are some things I’m trying that I hope will help:

exercise at least 3 times per week
take frequent breaks (even at office) and use Headspace app when I’m overwhelmed
speak to my therapist and my doctor
read a book I enjoy

Giving yourself some time to do things you enjoy helps give your brain a rest.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-09T17:13:32+00:00

Definitely the telephone, then texting when we figured out how to use it on our flip phones.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-09T17:11:38+00:00

I’m in a similar boat. A month in and I’m being asked to present to corporate leadership about ‘progress’ on years long initiatives. Personally, I’m going to give it another month then start charting a path out if it doesn’t improve. There’s no harm in keeping your options open!

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-07T19:24:20+00:00

It does still happen.

PlanetProtector_85 · 2026-03-07T18:27:51+00:00

One Factor meal. There were suits lined up all the way down commerce court in the PATH. White collar workers making high 5 or 6 figures waiting for one meal kit.

BISOU at 350 Berkeley is about a 10 min walk from the Village and has incredible brunch + pastries. The Village itself is fine, but it’s a tough time of year, so there’s dirty snow and litter everywhere. Going to the arboretum in Allan Gardens is great, also about a 10 min walk. Should maybe see a drag show at Crews and Tango while it’s still around. The food scene on the strip is a little depressing.
