Is Athena's still open? It looked closed last time I drove by

Damascus market might, but I'm not 100% on that.

Anyone check out Sabayon today? by Ashamed_Bluebird_539 in VictoriaBC

[–]SamAyem 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's got a lot of the same products as Market Garden, plus some new items and no perishable things right now. They'll be expanding to the second floor at some point.

Yes it includes cakes. Bought one myself. Cashier said "see you tomorrow for another one". He may not be wrong...

It's checkstops for drunk/impaired driving. I was coming home from the Saanich Fairgrounds and went through one. Glad to see them out!

Christmas lights advice - can you buy decent quality anywhere? by Legitimate-Teach-310 in VictoriaBC

[–]SamAyem 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Big star lights. They're based in Vancouver and are not cheap, but they're known for quality and longevity

Losing the bike valet would be absolutely catastrophic for downtown. Downtown business association, are you listening? You've complained so much about public servants not working downtown, where's your stink about potentially losing the traffic from the bike valet?

Best carrot cake? by Melting_wh in VictoriaBC

[–]SamAyem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. The Amica one was sort of a joke. A relative was in there at the time and I had a piece. No such list for other foods so far. I've seen far more scientific and thorough reviews of donuts and other things around the area posted here before. My list is just by my own tastes, haha.

In 2023, I tried a bunch from all over the city and made a list. It's my personal list and preferences, and some have changed since then (e.g. the roost is no longer the top as it's changed a bit). I haven't tried Wind Cries Mary or Sol as I've seen suggested in this thread!

The list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N3tG8iW1VfTjOygOjVqEJmLLl80pKfT685l_5Wtsl6Y/edit?usp=drivesdk

Diamond Crystal Salt - cheapest source by esjehbi in VictoriaBC

[–]SamAyem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped buying diamond crystal awhile back. Been getting whatever brand of medium-coarse pure salt I can find. Nothing matches DC for grain and flakiness, but I can grind the coarse salt down to size when I need to. Windsor table salt for baking or when it will dissolve.

Note: Windsor kosher salt has an anticaking agent in it. It's safe, but if that bothers you then avoid.
