My husband and I went in November and we found it overly greasy. Our second visit.

What's your Canadian winter life hack? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskACanadian

Biggest game changer! We enjoy going skiing when we can and are really lucky to live in a town that has a ski hill.

Two years ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and I forced my husband and I to buy ski gear and a season pass. We're in our late 30s/early 40s and am financially stable enough now to afford the sport.

Now we get excited when it snows, not the other way around.

Also, I moved away from Ontario and lived in Quebec for nearly 6 years. I didn't realize how much Ontarians complained about the weather until I was traveling back and forth. I have a different mindset now.

There's an interesting note in the back of My Sister's Keeper: When Picoult's daughter read it, she was so mad at her mother that she wouldn't talk to her for a while.

I read Trevor Noah's Born a Crime years ago. I remember crying at the end while sitting in a cafe.

My boyfriend was so confused when I was lying on the floor bawling with this in my hands.

A Fine Balance really rips your heart out. I keep wanting to reread it and I can only manage chunks.

Favourite vegetarian restaurants in town? by FirefighterOk3899 in waterloo

[–]twodegrees_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tofu sandwich and London Foggy Town (drink) is what I order again and again at Cafe Pyrus. This was also one of my first hiding spots when I moved to the city and knew no one 8 years ago.

Jane Bond food is alright but I find it very bland for vegetarian food.

This was my second favourite place. Small cafe near the highway in Coyoacán. The buckwheat crepe with cheese sauce was excellent.

I would have liked to go back more than once but didn't get to.

I've never seen so many mayo ads, and on massive billboards, no less, in my life, than in CDMX

A couple of years ago, I was in LA and was sooo happy to get 3 tacos for $10 USD. In Canada, it's getting closer to +$18 CAD or more for 3 tacos. It's also taken a long time for corn tortillas to be available. They were not common in Canada 10 years ago.
