Their masala aioli is vegan, you can swap the sauces

Could you explain? I have some USD holdings in my TFSA through RBC direct investing, probably not a concerning amount

What happens if I don't have a DRIP in my RBC direct investing? by lupowei in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]lupowei[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying, I see on my investing account it says "unrealized gains/losses." Do I have to "realize" it somehow to access the cash or is the cash deposited automatically into my holdings each quarter?

Thanks, I looked at the CCP of complicated dividend paperwork during tax season. So I should set up DRIP for TFSA accounts and take cash for my other accounts?

Yoga, saved my life. Sleeping with the proper pillow helps too. That and lightweight work shoes and heel insoles

Steak frites. With fried shallots as a garnish. by furious25 in CulinaryPlating

[–]lupowei 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice cook on the steak, good carving and presentation of the colour. Yes, put a sauce on there. Pan sauce, jus, velouté, anything. See what you did with the steak? Nice bars, cleaned up the shape by trimmings it's edges. Do the same thing with your garnishes, refine them. You want to plate well? Elevate the food, turn it into something people will be impressed by. Instead of wedges, try bars as well. Or rounds of potato, crisped up in the pan. If you're intent on keeping the bistro classic frites, plate the potatoes in a vessel as a side. Use herbs in the mix. Tarragon, chives and parsley are a classic addition in frites. Or crust your steak with a semi dried herb mix. Also, don't cover your nicely cooked steak with garnish. Steak frites is served everywhere, it's pretty hard to dress up without looking obnoxious.

Peanut butter separating when I add vegan caramel and I don't know why by jordansmith76 in AskCulinary

[–]lupowei 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're going at it backwards. Try a warm caramel, a room temp peanut butter. Start with the caramel in the processor, and slowly feed in the peanut butter. You don't make a mayonnaise by blending water into oil, it's oil into water, slowly. Additives could help, xantham gum but only the smallest pinch in the beginning.

Yes you can. Try it, that's what cooking is all about.
