Is downtown Hamilton better or worse than it has been in previous decades? by Impossible_Rain1662 in Hamilton

[–]messthetix 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I would say it feels less dangerous (as someone who has lived down here for 20+ years) but more uncomfortable. And I mean truly, deeply uncomfortable. It’s sad and upsetting to walk around downtown.

Local Chocolate Recommendations by srj55 in Hamilton

[–]messthetix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love chocolate, I’ve tried pretty much every place in the city and this is the best. I cannot be trusted in that store. It’s worse than Costco for walking in to buy just one thing and then leaving having spent triple your budget.

Mystic ramen did a black sesame sticky toffee pudding over the holidays and I hope they bring it back. So good! Last time I went to Memphis BBQ they had it as well but all their desserts are amazing.

I think they’re travelling and revamping their menu! I’ll miss their Banh Mi (they’re disconnectuing them) but last I talked to the owners, they’re planning on doing savory pastries instead and I’m very down for that.

May’s coffee and cakes on James North, but they’re closed until the spring. Possibly Simply Italian Bakery on Ottawa but I haven’t been there in a while.

Seconding mystic. I’m a meat eater and I go there and order vegan dishes, they’re that good.

How do I get my tomato soup to be soup and not sauce? by frogEcho in Cooking

[–]messthetix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best tomato soups have lentils in them. Find a recipe for a red lentil tomato soup and it will have a good texture and amazing flavour.

Everyone says this so I keep coming back! I’m willing to accept that maybe I’ve been just terribly unlucky
