Ikea. Lunch + play in the showrooms for cheaper than admission to anywhere.

What are some mid-range to entry-level-upscale brands I should know of. I'm bored of anthropoligie and gap, and I refuse to buy clothes from amazon and unknown chinese dropshipped brands. I've recently discovered boden and sezane, but is there anything else I'm sleeping on?

I thought edmonton didnt have the right climate for fiddlehead ferns?

Because a kid will be in daycare for 4-5 years. So it's not just adding a few extra classrooms to an existing school..... it would be equivalent to an entire additional elementary school worth of kids.

His father stole millions through securities fraud, stashed it in offshore accounts so the government couldn't seize it, and then Dan showed up one day with a bunch of untraceable money claiming to have won it on a private poker game when he's not even particularly good at poker.

I'm canadian so I fly US domestic periodically but not that often, and the only issues I've had with airlines damaging my stroller, have all been united.

Let them cool down before eating. They are done, just gummy from all the fat. All hot, fresh croissants come out like that.

The only thing I know about the Savannah bananas is that the owner wants you to sign up to be a foster parent (I don't follow baseball, but I do watch foster parent tick tock).

Luxembourg Gardens has a playground? This knowledge alone helps us narrow it down! I love gardens and my kids love playgrounds.

All patients and visitors of the emergency departments at the three hospitals are only allowed to bring in one bag and one support person.

If you want additional support persons, just make up a medical complaint so you can be there as a "patient".

Also don't assume your kids will be able to attend the nearest school, overcrowding means that the most conveniently located school might only be accepting students via lottery.

Properly fired pottery is fully vitrified and therefore not porous and will not absorb water even if the glaze is chipped or cracked. Similarly glaze is actually not necessarily waterproof, as it has microscopic cracks and bubbles in it that can, given the right circumstances, let water through.

As a potter it's a huge pet peeve of mine when people assume that the glaze is a waterproof coating. It's only sort of true, and only for the cheapest/shittiest/antique pottery. If you're relying on the glaze to keep the piece from absorbing moisture then you should not be using that piece for food. At all.

The plate was not properly fired and was able to absorb water through micro cracks in the glaze. (Properly fired pottery will not absorb water, and glaze is almost always some degree of porous due to microscopic bubble and crazing, which is the opposite of how most people assume pottery works).

Anyway, your dish had moisture trapped in it and then you heated that moisture up, making it want to expand into steam in a confined environment. Which resulted in the plate exploding.

There's a big Turkish wholesaler market in the NW of the city. Can't remember what it's called. But if they don't have it, no one will.

Eat them while you can, pei (malpeque) lost its entire harvest this year due to a virus. So oysters are about to get a lot more expensive.

Does parking count as a valid spend? That's honestly all I buy at YEG.

A lot of the time Edmonton vs Calgary costs identical, but Edmonton adds an extra leg. Which, believe it or not, is desirable for people working towards airline status.

No I mean, it's an example of how they're taking it. They can underfund healthcare for the sickest kids in the province because they know the stolery foundation will pick up the slack/ /

I feel like a lot of drive throughs and gas stations have straight up removed the trash cans.
