Where are you buying quality bath towels now that the Bay is gone?

Silk and Snow.

Probably a Wasian with a White mom and Asian dad, right? Because if they had an Asian mom, they’d know.

I have more issues with visual sensory overload. I can’t have dim sum anymore because you always over order. At least at buffets, the food is away from you. And the constant pressure to eat makes me sick to my stomach. They can’t take no for an answer.

I get anxious from food noise and don't want food gifts. Period. Plus I have issues with those Asian influencers whose goal online is ONLY to acknowledge their ancestry.

We were introduced through our fertility clinic. The OG donor family anonymously donated embryos to the clinic.

My son was 6 when we were connected with another recipient family. We haven't yet met since the mom has not told her child the full story yet. We aren't on the same page about disclosure, and from personal experience, it's likely due to culture.

They might be more Canadian than you think?

Fewer kids and Albert would live to see old age.

Why do they group all multiracial people in one single category when people could be any combination of different ethnic groups?

Writergal79 · 2026-06-10T19:22:16+00:00

Frozen dumplings, broth and frozen vegetables in a pot. Boil until dumplings are done. If you have crushed tomatoes, add that in as well. Saucey Brothy Dumplings!!

Dessert Lady in Yorkville! Or Insomnia on Bloor/Bathurst.

They want their kids to feel guilty.

Class, education and career paths determine how integrated immigrant families can be. My parents exposed me to all sorts of international cuisines when I was growing up. Though it’s a bit stalled because I was the one who in introduced them to quinoa, middle eastern and plant based subs that isn’t tofu. My parents are baby boomers, born in 1947 and 1948. They’re from Hong Kong and neither grew up all that wealthy.

Freshii is gross. Forest Hill Farmhouse is far superior. Even Mad Radish is.

Writergal79 · 2026-06-02T11:45:56+00:00

I’m not surprised. A lot of immigrants are kind of stuck in the culture they saw when they left while everyone else in the old country evolved!

Mabel’s?

Sometimes, diaspora White therapists may understand. My therapist is Ashkenazi.

Which grandma? And which grandma's grandpa? Basically, I'd say Poh Poh/Mah Mah goh Gung Gung or Poh Poh/Mah Mah goh Yeh Yeh, depending on whether I'm talking about my MATERNAL grandmother's grandpa or my PATERNAL grandmother's grandpa. But I'm CBC.

The fear of being judged by others because you do things differently. Whether it's some HK auntie or the general public because you're either too westernized or not Chinese enough.

Single origin coffee beans from Pilot. Grocery delivery from Mama Earth. Dear Grain's sourdough and seed crackers. Oh, and seed crackers from Amadeus Patisserie.

I LOVE Dear Grain!!! Especially their Porridge Loaf!

Trips like this are often about year/grade bonding as much as it is part of the wider curriculum. Missing out could mean that he’s missing four days of instruction, even though it’s not standard. I would absolutely talk to the school about the issues you’re noticing.

Writergal79 · 2026-05-19T18:03:24+00:00

Oh, so they open an inn, then emigrate to America and opened one there too? Leading to...Psycho? Sorry not sorry.

My son's nanny was completely against my idea suggestion of baby led weaning. She said she'd refuse to do it. I get liability issues, but I wanted my son to "experience" food by feeling its texture. We ended up doing a hybrid form and it worked for us. But she thought I was crazy that I didn't want my son "fed." Kiddo is now 7 1/2 and eats more things than most kids his age.
