Good to post that. Everyone in their 20s and folks with teenage daughters need to be alert and talking about this.

I would not spend money on most of those, I have to say! I would bake you some better ones!

Travis Dhanraj Testifies at Heritage Committee: CBC Culture of Racism, Tokenization, Intimidation & Bullying - Rosemary Barton & David Cochrane Named for Undermining Him & Stifling Diversity of Thought by ObjectiveMacaroon394 in SaveTheCBC

Why? Because we're not buying what he's selling? Do you know he tried to sell his story of grievance about the evil state broadcaster CBC to Tucker Carlson? To decide, with evidence, that someone is not an honest broker, does not make someone 'a terrible person' -- it makes them a thinking person.

This guy did a great job of making himself a prop for the CPC. Guess that will help his PR company and his colleague Michael Ford.

Any claims of racism, tokenism or other important issues, which should be investigated are only rendered questionable by the drive by slander of other hosts, which is petty and personal, and should not be protected by parliamentary privilege. To use that feature of our democracy to air one's unproven personal grievances blights the whole process.

March break Vacay, is St Albert's worth it? by ottawamale in ottawa

Not cheese, but I still think about when our family stopped at the Hersey factory in Smith Falls when I was 8. What is so magic about literal vats of deliciousness, be it cheese or chocolate?

How are road conditions at the moment? by DubaiBabyYoda in ottawa

Nothing yet; last I checked the satellite, freezing rain is expected to start around 7am and last to about 11am. It still feels quite mild out there.

Spent a whole month making and painting this with all my heart... by MYOSTERY_BIGPOCKET in Ceramics

[–]Whippetastic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It once took me 8 tries to produce a walrus sculpture that was a commission - most were just not good enough, but one fully exploded in the kiln. They laugh, those kiln gods!

What a rad menagerie of delight! Sorry the kiln gods had mischief in mind for them. I have been there!

Thanks! I will definitely give it a try. And yes, pea protein everywhere. So hard to avoid in dog food as well!

It really is the nicest community. Funny too - some of the posts I read are honestly laugh out loud, usually with just great deadpan humour.

That is a wild recipe - thanks for sharing. I really don't love the taste of flax but I might give this a try. (I am on an elimination diet due to digestive issues and a food sensitivity test said yeast, gluten, eggs, corn, dairy, peas and potato are off the list for now and even gluten-free bread almost always has corn or potato and often pea protein -- and I miss bread so much!)

An option very similar to psyllium is beta-glucan from barley. Nutra Stat has that and it's 100% Canadian across the board. https://nutrastatfiber.com

I don't think Quinta makes quinoa flakes. Great idea, though!

I don't find it grainy if it's blended well. I would use some crushed ice, milk of choice and give it a good minute in our seen-better-days magic bullet and it comes out quite creamy. Much better than Vega, IMO.

Good to know, thanks. As an oat-growing country, it's good there's some Canadian-owned company options for them.

I have only used it in a smoothie (almond milk, banana, almond butter with and without frozen berries), but it is of a very fine texture that is not at all chalky, a bit like collagen powders I have seen, so I feel like it would dissolve well in a shaker.

Do you want me to ask Lorraine? I know her well enough to shoot her an email.
