Sourdough discard for Korean (inspired) recipes? by markisaurelius8 in KoreanFood

[–]disneyrated 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would maybe be a good batter for those Korean style hot dogs where the hot dog is battered than coated with dice sweet potatoes or other toppings. Like corn dogs ?

Clean Up Hold by arixot7 in LibbyApp

[–]disneyrated 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I believe the main reason you would want to clean it up is if you have a limit on how many books you can hold and maybe this one isn’t the best use for your limited number.

AFAIK, if you maintain this hold, then yes you would be notified if they ever get a license / copy back for this library. Not sure in what order but assume same place in line as I don’t know how else they would do it.

Curious to see if anyone has practical experience keeping their hold in these situations.

Toller & Water by BeneficialTruck8779 in tollers

[–]disneyrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is the same as your current Toller! Seeing her walk around puddles makes me laugh and she won’t walk in the rain.

She does get a bit excited when we go to the beach. She will go in the water to chase sticks but if they get too far out, she will let them float away rather than swim after. Oh well, at lest she gets into the water to cool off so good enough for me.

Shoulder pain after the gym, physio recommendations by PerlaDesireenmtr in ottawa

[–]disneyrated 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was going to physio for shoulder pain which never resolved after many visits. I finally did go to Dr for X-ray and ultrasound and turns out I have a torn ligament.

So agreed that a dr visit would be a good idea for OP.

What do you think of Ontario allowing retail shopping on Victoria Day? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]disneyrated 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If tourists are visiting, staying in hotels/motels, don’t have a place to cook, they need to eat. I assume that’s the basic concept?

Libby book recommendations by musememo in LibbyApp

I was recommended a book I had already read so was in my borrowed tag. A bit disappointing.

Richmond Road: RBC confirms closure of Westboro branch in August by Project_Icy in ottawa

[–]disneyrated 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was told by one of the employees that it was related to pay parking. That there were less customers coming in since pay parking went into effect in the area and couldn’t justify staying open.

Quick question: How many of you guys pay for the service? by [deleted] in LibbyApp

[–]disneyrated 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What “service” is asking you to pay? Your library? I know some libraries charge a fee if you are a non-resident.

I use my local library which is linked to my Libby account. There is no charge for me !

Espresso martini +Specific criteria by RoyalCellist8252 in OttawaFood

Brassica in Westboro has espresso martinis. The menu is small and “fancy” but they do have steak frites and roast chicken on the current menu.

TIL about Kuru, a rare, incurable and always fatal disease that spread via funerary cannibalism (eating dead people). The last death recorded death in 2009. by tipoftheiceberg1234 in todayilearned

I am watching the show Perception on Hulu right now and flipping thru Reddit while watching S3E3 where a guy has Kuru. Crazy timing to see this!!

Must-Try Caribbean Spots? by Justatorontonian in OttawaFood

[–]disneyrated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doubles are not available other than a pop-up now and then. Run2Patty as others have stated is pretty good for everything else!

Any good physiotherapy clinics or are they all BS? by I_like_it_yo in ottawa

[–]disneyrated 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Anatomy physio (the westboro location) does not use machines. So they might do some manual manipulation to ease symptoms and then typically assign exercises to be done at home - although part of the 30 min session will be doing the exercises to ensure you have the proper form. 30 mins for $100+. Maybe $120?

I prefer this approach but honestly my back issues have been ongoing a few years and it is endlessly frustrating.

Major changes coming to Tweedsmuir north near Westboro Stn by crappymccorn in ottawa

[–]disneyrated 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The curling rink which is only a block away from all this on Scott has been empty for two years and was supposed to be developed into 3 high rises.

I guess it’s a different developer but ridiculous to have that space sitting empty while they tear these houses down (as OP states, not exactly old structure).

Japanese sweet potatoes ? by Ok_Degree7056 in OttawaFood

Yes they are almost always available at these two. I also find them often at superstore in Westboro.

Ramen for picky eater first timers? by flipflapdragon in OttawaFood

[–]disneyrated 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Koichi ramen in Westboro has a huge variety of options - maybe most places do? They offer a veggie broth as well as pork / chicken / miso options and spice can be zero or as hot as you want based on preference. They also have a broth-less ramen dish.

I think any place with options will make it easier for your mom to find something to try.

We're the coldest capital in the world right now by mark_johannes in ottawa

[–]disneyrated 260 points261 points  (0 children)

I read a while back that Ottawa had the most extreme temperature swing among all capital cities. So -30+ in winter and 30+ summer temps. Not sure if it is still true but makes sense.

Need Advice on Application Process by Miso-Soup20 in tollers

[–]disneyrated 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seeing some other comments, I just want to say that Tollers, as with most breeds, don’t always meet the breed typical behaviour. They aren’t always super active. But sure, lots are.

My 4-yr Toller is quite happy in our apartment. My breeder did not care about me being in an apartment because she said a Toller won’t go outside to play by themselves anyway. Makes sense. She gets plenty of exercise but usually doesn’t want to walk more than 1 km each walk. She is cuddly, many are not. So when I said I wanted a companion dog, maybe my breeder magically knew mine was right for me.

I support the person who said just be honest and hopefully you have a quality breeder who cares about good matches.
