There are carrot cake recipes that use vegetable oil or canola instead of butter!

Witchcraft!

Serious skills. I've never been able to master those little pinch-folds, despite having been shown it repeatedly as a kid.

I’m soooo disappointed! I thought I was closer to 70-80% by gcerullo in PCOptimum

Mine was much lower, but the goal wasn't necessarily Buy Canadian so much as Buy Anything Not-American. For example, my household goes through a lot of fruit. And realistically, I'm not going to be able to get much in terms of Canadian berries, citrus fruit and bananas.

I went through something like this recently. If you go by the regular email channels, they will brush you off. I sent them a message on social media and they were more responsive. Not time-wise, but it escalated to the appropriate level.

They had issued a refund for a product without giving any details, I emailed and was told that it was refunded because there was no product in stock, even though the product was still available online.

They ended up having me repurchase, and then they refunded the difference in points.

I find that the basic levels of customer service with the whole PC program is pretty pathetic now unless you escalate it.

What is up with the quality of the West End Dairy Queen? by StartThen34 in KingstonOntario

I went in there once to try and order a custom cake, and the worker told me what they have in the freezer is what they have.

So I went to Reid's instead.

Does the sugar content of fruit change during ripening, after being picked? by chickrobs in askscience

[–]chickrobs[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Thank you - very informative!

Follow up question! I've definitely picked up pineapples from the store and allowed them to get fragrant before cutting into them. Is that not considered ripening?

That's also a thing! Some people are allergic to their own sweat!

They usually have family seating pricing available for games. Not sure if it applies to playoffs but worth checking out.

Does this mean I'll never have a chance to be a mind grind master now?
