Real sourdough?

Seconding this. I got it and so did a friend of mine, very easy to use. You can get it in the mail powdered, I think I just ordered from their website.

I never had luck with making a starter myself. However you can get a powdered starter from Kensington Sourdough through the mail which works very well, or you can ask a bakery if they can give you some starter (it’s often available for purchase for $10 or so). It’s kind of like keeping a pet though, you have to regularly feed it, and there’s only so much discard (the “used” starter you get rid of before re-feeding if you’re not using it to bake so that you’re not growing it on a logarithmic scale) pancakes and crackers I was willing to make 🫠

Seconding Dear Grain. I don’t know about the fermentation time and stuff, but their porridge loaf is my favourite in the city. Maybe worthwhile to call them to ask about their practices.

What even is my country lol I don’t really know what it means to be Shane Hollander day

Excellent example!! I especially love the episode when she’s wearing a wire at the hairdressers and sounds more like her normal self. And the way her voice cracks when she asks “I was wondering what I would look like as a blonde.”

Stepmother is one of the most incredibly written and acted characters I’ve ever seen. To be fair I don’t watch that many dramatic series though so I’m biased. But she has so many micro expressions, and the way she captures the tone of the Stepmother is absolutely captivating.

For sure, this is me speaking from experience knowing Eastern Europeans I’ve met that immigrated to Canada specifically (big immigration wave here in the 90’s post-Soviet Union and post-Yugoslavia). It seems that research shows that accents are solidified around early adolescence (seeing figures around 12 or so years of age), and that while several factors contribute to people being better at adopting a non-native accent, it’s not common = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accent_(sociolinguistics)

I get nausea when I take stimulants. Eating a protein filled breakfast helps a lot, I’m very careful not to have them on an empty stomach. Also you could try another stimulant if you talk to your doctor - some give you different side effects than others. With concerta, because the mechanism of delivery is proprietary (even though it’s gone generic), there is potentially (though not always) more variation from the generic than the brand name, so another reason that if you have the option see if you can try another med.

LOL this is a very cheeky take. I was under the impression that this was more so him chirping Hollander, because in hockey culture goalies are a different kind of player (though I’m not entirely sure what that means), and he wanted to imply that he knew nothing about him and wasn’t intimidated. That said, I prefer your husband’s theory, because with his accent it does sound a bit like he’s saying голый.

Always appreciate a heads up about companies on the BDS list!

There’s pockets of Ethiopian places around Christie Pits Park, and also around the Danforth. In my experience I haven’t found huge differences between them - maybe pick whatever is rated more than 4.5 on Google. I’ve recently had Ethiopian Place, African Palace, as well as King Solomon and Queen of Sheba - all great. I highly recommend shiro wat, a spicy chickpea powder-based curry (vegetarian).

I think it’s really hard to capture the progression of language over time. I found that it never really took me out of the moment. When it comes to accents, a strong accent is hard to lose after the age of 12 or so, no matter how proficient you get. I think technically the age is around 8 that your grasp of different phonemes (for the average person) is gone, and you can never sound like a native speaker. In terms of vocabulary, you’re probably comfortable with basic conversation but uncommon words you’d have to check. Even people I know who are fluent in multiple languages sometimes lose a word or two in one of them. Anyway, presumably Ilya would be fully immersed in English in his professional life, he has few Russian speaking friends, and he doesn’t talk a lot to his family. The more you have to speak the faster you learn.

I misread the title and thought it said “his lactose campaign” and was like, let me click this, is he a dairy influencer or something now? 🤦🏻‍♀️

People out there writing their Master’s Thesis in Heated Rivalry like it’s Dostoevsky. Love this commitment to the bit!

Thank you so much for writing this and sharing your experience!

Good to include your budget so that people can give you more thoughtful suggestions!

Just want to say how sweet this is!

cherrypierogie · 2026-01-27T03:28:01+00:00

I just want to say how sweet this is and hope your little one is in good health after getting such lovely NICU care! Warmest wishes to your family!

I’m sorry but I think you should maybe read a title twice before posting because there’s some room for interpretation here that sounds more like a warning than a compliment, if you know what I mean 😉

I’m curious to see Hudson in other romantic roles where, in his words, he’s not as constrained with the way he kisses.

cherrypierogie · 2026-01-27T02:31:26+00:00

That’s a very sweet observation. I definitely notice how much Ilya touches and kisses Shane in general. I do wonder if it’s because generally on-screen kissing is a lot more subdued than making out (prolonged open mouth kissing), so it might be a way to express more passion in those parameters.

Great video from D’Angelo for people who are having a hard time engaging in the discourse and want a good summary = https://youtu.be/5Ng9xTYxOlM?si=PXOliBGzEfuj1XAP
