Talking of British food that you miss.....British Chinese curry.....oooh I so miss that! However....... for those who enjoy that too, I have found the solution, its as close as close can get, Id say 98% close!

I buy this from any British shop....its so good... I do my "house special curry" with this mix now, consisting of; chicken, beef, pork, shrimp and mushrooms....I cant get enough of it! Highly recommended served with my own egg fried rice and and a small bowl of McCains steak cut oven chips....they taste very similar to Chinese take out chips!

The umtimate comfort meal!!

And YOU have been waiting 'quite' how long to tell me this Monsieur?

I would (I think) have been buzzing along to Moncton...at least once a year...a more boring drive has never been imagined...but...I was very impressed by what they sell...although I just liked Quebec lots too.

I hadn't thought anything of it really. I've been in supermarkets in Quebec (I lived there for 9 months) - admittedly not since 2005 - Loblaws there seemed no different to Superstore here, so I didn't think IGA would be either.

It was only yesterday I discovered they delivered and saw what they had. I made an order and then made up that "shopping list" for you.

I pass the place when I go to Darkest Dieppe for regular eye checks, so I may drop in after my next appointment at the end of May. We'lll probably be in masks by then.

This really makes no sense,to make room for homeless people, people living in at one hotel in Victoria are being kicked out and now homeless. Seems backwards.

BC Housing says they will work to find housing for those being kicked out.

A nan’s response when when you’re visiting her in a home. “Naff you unless you’re bringing me an eight ball of high grade cocaine, a bottle of Dom Perignon and a decent Cuban cigar, you can take your visit and shove it up your arse.

There was always something different about Chinese curry. I'm salivating all over my keyboard just thinking about it.

You can tell Ikea isn't set up for online ordering well, minimum 6 weeks for delivery.

I ordered my daughter’s birthday present from Ikea earlier in the week, it was delivered yesterday.

I dont want to take the risk. I know it could possibly arrive sooner, but I am not willing to risk a 6 week wait either.

Jerseygirl

I got a date and time window before I placed the order.

Ah I see, I just got what the screen shot shows, maybe different regions are more backed up than others.

It’s now 4:30 and I’ve given up on sleep...for the last hour and a half I’ve had 15 kgs of trembling crying dog lying on top of me...we are having quite an active system down the Eastern Seaboard...thunder, rain and mixed precipitation (which sounds chilly) for the next few days. My last dog was impervious to thunder, but this poor soul takes it very personally.

ours hides in the basement. In a cupboard in the farthest corner if he can.

he does the same when my husband is cooking something in the oven as he also hates the smoke alarm

It was addictive....and its just nowhere near as good here.....but that curry powder is the nearest I can get to British Chinese curry,. Its pretty damn good!!
