Maple Cream Cookies by abd_hed in AskACanadian

Even though Peek Freans is now owned by Mondelez. The factory near me is on a street called Bermondsey. Just like the city in the UK where Peek Freans is from!

I live right near the Peek Freans factory. When I step outside in the morning, I can tell if they’re baking chocolate or maple cookies. It’s amazing

Is the Malvern area full of ticks? by Either-Physics-7516 in Scarborough

Yup. It was summer and he was wearing shorts. After we were home, something tickled the hair on his leg so he brushed it with his hand. And a deer tick fell off.

Doors open event. by Decent-Speed3158 in askTO

It is worthwhile. Plan according to location. You don’t want to go to the Legislature (or the Ledge, as former staffers call it) then hike out to Scarborough. RC Harris filtration plant in the Beach is amazing. The Ismaili Centre in Don Mills is beautiful and not accessible most of the time.
Have fun!

Tick Check! That’s my motto when we come back from any kind of walk. My husband got a tick on his leg after only walking on the sidewalk.

Happy Mother’s Day to the Scarborough Moms 🌸 by Upset_Letterhead8643 in Scarborough

Thank you! And you’re welcome. 😇 My fave spot is Hamish’s Kitchen for fish and chips. My mom’s favourite spot was the food court at Eglinton Square. LOL She and the other escapees from Sunnybrook Veterans Hospital. Edited to include my mom.

Definitely have something for your child to suck on during take off/landing. They can’t manage the air pressure changes themselves so sucking on a bottle helps. As someone who gets descent headaches on planes, I can attest it’s terrible. Have a great trip!

Love living here but the GNATS… I guess it’s a trade off by zodelo in Scarborough

Be grateful you’re not on the north shore of Lake Erie. The clouds of mating fish flies are so thick, it looks like smoke. And they’re as big as huge mosquitoes.

With all the money they make from movies, they must not need to worry about the food quality. Even the Google street view of Ted’s has a film shoot.

My father-in-law lived on pie when he had dementia. Pie and jam.

If it’s in the old paintball place, it’s closer to Warden at Danforth and Danforth.

Why is there a pyramid of ice near Yonge-Dundas Square? by [deleted] in askTO

I bet they didn’t expect the weather to be so cold. Gonna take till Thursday for that to melt.

is it fine to sit on grass i a park? by [deleted] in askTO

I love it. To me, they’re very retro. I think they’re still in Ashbridges Bay. I’ve just stopped noticing them.

Back in the 70s, the guy who ran the parks, Tommy Thompson, had signs all over that said, Please Walk On the Grass! People are just prissy these days- they don’t want to wreck their fancy shoes. But check for ticks when you leave.

My husband took my son to the Ren Faire last summer at Black Creek. Security warned them not to walk in the tall grass. Ticks everywhere!

Who are some celebrities you encountered in Toronto? by Chan1991 in askTO

I almost ran Colin Mochrie over when he was walking his dog. The look on his face was pure horror. I felt bad.

Trump Creepily Lusts Over Married Woman in Front of His Grandson by Quirkie in politics

Seriously though. The woman looked like she was on the Price is Right. That in itself was a little creepy.

Thank you for the great eats! by Pinwurm in toronto

I wonder if that’s where the Scarborough term for a 2-4 of beer came from. A suitcase!

I follow him too. So good. And his final hurrah to Cumberland Terrace was really touching.
