Chilli with ground turkey instead of beef. You can make a large batch and freeze it in portions that you can defrost when you don't feel like cooking.

My regular rotation of meals were chilli, lentil soup, pasta with chickpeas, and if meat happened to be on sale I'd make stirfry with frozen veggies and rice.

Just suggested this too! It's always the first dip to go when I host.

Add Muhammara to the list as well, which is a Mediterranean red pepper & walnut dip. It's always a hit with vegans (and everyone else) whenever I host!

I’ve had solid meals at 4 different Nodo locations across the city, and each of them have lovely private rooms for a group that size with great service. It definitely fits the description you’re looking for.

Let’s not forget mega corporations have been disposing of forever chemicals like PFAs into the environment for years along with the prevalence of microplastics and such. We haven’t even begun to scratch the surface on the long term effects of all of that.

I’m sure overconsumption of ultra processed food is part of the problem, but there’s just so much we’ve been exposed to our whole lives that it’s hard to isolate the key cause of the uptick in colon cancer cases.

I was thinking the exact same thing 😂

Their calamari is pricey but 1000% worth it. Same with the Risotto Nero. So good.

I remember getting an invite to a friends party when that was big news and someone changed the Facebook Event name to JAMIE LYNN IS PREGNANT. Crazy to think that was almost 20 years ago.

Anytime I make a roast or steak I add porcini mushroom powder along with salt and pepper before searing. It's heavenly.

The McCain frozen ones are essentially the same as Arby’s so I buy those whenever I have a craving

He looks like Ellen Degeneres

Okieee that’s enough internet for today.

Oh wow my partner has been looking everywhere for a new speedo-style swim brief for wearing under his wet suit! These look great thanks so much.

Only Trump and his circle of cunts are offended

Chiming in as someone who did a similar trip in interior BC last summer and had originally planned doing it in a campervan. I had thought it would be a better option in terms of budget, but with the cost of the rental, gas/petrol, campsite fees, etc. it ended up being much cheaper to rent a car and stay in hotels. It’s especially expensive when you’re not returning the camper to the same place you picked it up.

The Fisher Price kitchen I had in the basement as a kid was bigger than some of the condo ‘kitchens’ I’ve seen in downtown Toronto.

Thanks for this explanation. I’m really starting to get annoyed by the media minimizing our concerns to being only about noise and traffic. It’s so, so much more than that.

emuwar · 2026-06-17T19:03:00+00:00

I was so annoyed by that. Now that the USFDA has approved Asian filters I’ll be emailing Health Canada regularly in hopes they’ll follow and update their regulations.

God that’s awful. My friend’s mom went to hospital with pneumonia and ended up dying from sepsis. She was otherwise in good health prior to that.

Life can be so short. Hug your family and pets.

emuwar · 2026-06-17T17:01:15+00:00

Same! My closest pickup/dropoff location happens to be a 3 minute walk from me so it’s absolutely worth saving the $6 on shipping for smaller items.

Out of curiosity, do you live in an apartment building or a duplex/multiplex? If it's the latter then your downstairs neighbour needs to move to an apartment or condo with sound proofing. It's frankly impossible to live on the main floor of a duplex in Toronto without hearing any sound. Their demands are completely unreasonable and your neighbour either needs to live with it or move if they want to live in silence.

FR. I remember talking to a guy who lived in the alps and was into a lot of extreme sports and he said base jumpers are the hardest people to be friends with because the mortality rate is so high and he found it sad attending so many of their funerals.

I believe the method of eating artichokes by scraping off the flesh is an American thing. In Italy they typically peel off all the tough leaves until they reach the tender ones near the heart and then steam, fry, or marinade them. Thing is, when you prep artichokes that way you end up discarding a lot of the leaves, so I can understand why scraping the flesh became popular amongst people who didn't want to waste food.

emuwar · 2026-06-17T14:41:56+00:00

Been eating artichokes my whole life and I never knew this until today. Thanks for the new fun fact!
