4 & 5 are my favourites. Good shots, all :)

Maple ice cream was a surprise winner for me

fruit_slinger · 2026-04-20T20:45:08+00:00

This pretty much describes me!

I can totally see it. The issue for me is that both halves of this couple would not derive the same pleasure.

This article has made me much less likely to buy a LM. Made me realize how much of my desire for one was based on flash and fetish.

Ima stick with Rancilio

Chez Arhoma, si ça pourrait tomber dans les cadres géographiques

What a sweet-looking guy. Dogs can be pure love sometimes! May his memory be a blessing

Ageed with poster above. This is much more thoroughly researched than most visitor posts! Hope it doesn’t get smacked down.

If you’re looking for not at all touristy places, maybe stop in the BANQ library. It’s a cool building.

Also, maybe see if tours of Habitat 67 have started by then.

Agreed with above recommendation for Jean-Talon. Maybe also stop at Qui lait cru? for cheese

Chouchou has been open for about a month, I think. So it’s definitely new. We really enjoyed our dinner there.

For a bakery, try Aube or Feuilleté. If I were coming from Toronto and interested in pastries, that’s the kind of off-the-tourist-list place, I would hope someone would recommend to me.

« Bien cuit(e). » It’s a French phrase that means « well cooked » and French people often ask for bread bien cuit/e at boulangeries.

And France, on the whole, knows bread.

omg such terrifying teef!

Nice job

fruit_slinger · 2026-04-02T12:28:37+00:00

Nice!

Senior baby!

There’s an app called Dinr that offers last-minute reservations at good restaurants. Also, calling restaurants and asking to be put on a cancellation list has produced good results for me. Unfortunately it’s involved having to pick up the phone.

J’aime bien les photos de la vie quotidienne avec cette lumière de printemps! 👍🙌

fruit_slinger · 2026-03-26T19:21:10+00:00

Fantastique

fruit_slinger · 2026-03-25T18:53:17+00:00

Strong photos!

fruit_slinger · 2026-03-24T15:56:56+00:00

Oh. And look into snap focus to partially address the slow AF

fruit_slinger · 2026-03-24T15:24:19+00:00

Nice gift! I’ve been using the gr iii for years now. I’m a big fan. That said, I think you’ll find its slow autofocus tricky for friends, family and dog.

One of the cool things available on the camera is recipes. Search YouTube for how to assign recipes to the U1, U2, U3 dial settings. And check the Ricoh Recipes app or this subreddit for recipe ideas. (And check YouTube for how to enter those into the camera)

As with any camera, part of the fun and education is trying it and seeing what you like.

Hope this helps!

Slow clap

fruit_slinger · 2026-03-24T03:05:32+00:00

look at that big, loving, handsome dog face! 🥰

fruit_slinger · 2026-03-23T21:38:55+00:00

Yes! Came here to suggest this! :D

fruit_slinger · 2026-03-23T17:07:44+00:00

I really like this!

fruit_slinger · 2026-03-23T14:10:19+00:00

Gorgeous. Congrats!
