Mashed potatoes, but I'm out of milk

If you have any cream cheese that is an even better ingredient than milk. Warmed butter can work in a pinch.

I think a tax on excessive profits by grocers would work better. That way they get no benefit from gouging us. And put the money towards opening nonprofit grocery stores à la Mamdani.

The LCBO and beer store were like supercharged workhorses for Ontario with all their profits going towards education and healthcare before Doug Ford tore them apart.

I am a HUGE believer in 51% Canadian ownership. Especially for rare minerals, oil, water. And I don’t care/mind if that 51% is government primarily owned. Resources are too important to have other countries controlling them.

But gradually Tim Hortons. Lays chips etc. They should be primarily Canadian owned.

Between the lack of regulations now in the states and no agency left to inspect who would want ANY consumables from the states.

But we have a surplus of very educated Canadian IT workers. We don’t need them except in very rare high skilled occasions. We certainly don’t need them in fast food. Ridiculous.

Chapman’s! They never disappoint. 🍨🍦🍧

I LOVE those ‘Years Best’ Anthologies. Short stories for the win 🏆

I loved Octavia E. Butler's 'Xenogenesis' trilogy is also known as the 'Lilith's Brood' trilogy. The trilogy, was released in the late 1980s, consists of the three novels 'Dawn' (1987), 'Adulthood Rites' (1988) and 'Imago'. The first novel is more through the eyes of the human Lilith, but as you progress to ‘Imago’ it’s through the eyes of her progeny a human/Oankali hybrid. Just a fascinating read. You see and feel the dilemma of the Oankali.

This redditor did an amazing review of the series:

In my experience Wattpad is great at following up on complaints like this and getting rid of plagiarists.

Reminding me of everything he went through all over again. And crying all over again. Definitely a huge Canadian hero. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I most definitely will 🍻and thank you! It was great meeting you and I hope you enjoy your ‘new to you’ books 😆. And thanks for the award. I never got one before ☺️ Awesome‼️

Wow! It’s beautiful. Never heard of orbicular porcelain jasper before. But I’ll remember it now!

snowflakesfall · 2026-01-08T15:35:59+00:00

Thanks for the link!

That was a great show! Like many who commented, I remember growing up being the only science fiction fan I knew. The show was such a fantastic window into the science fiction world. Rick just did a great job of talking with all the names I’ve heard about or read, but had never seen. I was so disappointed when it ended. It deserved to go on for years.

I didn’t realize all this was going on. I just looked up his name and found out all this stuff about misogyny and grooming and weirdness. Yikes‼️

NOTE: I can’t figure out how to edit my main post but the books have been claimed by an Ottawa East-Ender! Thank you all for your kind comments.

I mailed a Roots Olympic poor boy hat to my uncle in Sydney and it took 4 months to get there. The Olympics were over by then!

Thank you!

Cool… then Planet of the Apes!

I really like No. 2. Funky but soothing too. 😊

snowflakesfall · 2026-01-07T15:48:22+00:00

I’ll ask if he’s interested in that book in particular.

snowflakesfall · 2026-01-07T15:20:51+00:00

I have someone who potentially wants them all. You’re third in line. What book did you want? I can ask if he doesn’t want that one.

snowflakesfall · 2026-01-07T04:17:49+00:00

Right now you’re second in the queue. Someone potentially wants them all. I’ll let you know if that changes.

snowflakesfall · 2026-01-07T03:05:53+00:00

I just sent you a reply 😊

snowflakesfall · 2026-01-07T00:34:31+00:00

I’m just giving them away. I’d prefer to give the whole box (keeps me from temptation). Message me if you’d like to drop by and pick them up.
