Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Well that's certainly better than I found - as one would expect from the master in these matters, thanks 
Three of the four examples in my small pic appear to include a pie and two pasties (with the crusty handle on Cornish pasties for miners) while the pics in the article you linked to have tacos and spring rolls (sprolls) with Buffalo chicken, potato, shrimp.
Whichever way I look at it I'm seeing tacos and sprolls with three filling choices and then four versions of fillings for pie and two pasties (three).
I'm going to Sobeys soon so hopefully I can see what they are.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
First conundrum of the the day. Does one attempt to make marzipan for the first time while being extremely hungover or does one down two Tylenol and codeines and a large can of Colt 45 and wait until its lunchtime?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Ran out of PC's Gourmet West Coast Dark Roast on Tuesday. I thought I still had a tin 
Yesterday I had to cut open some Maxwell House Dark Roast pods that I wanted to try but I had failed to notice they were not K-Cup size.
I really should have known they'd be too weak
Even though they only made up the missing third.
Fortunately Superstore were flogging them for $7.99 from today so stepdaughter picked up a couple for me.
Ah, bliss.

20,000 gallon aquarium, apparently largest private aquarium in North America. $1,200 electric bill per month for the aquarium, seems he built/designed it himself.
Dude has some money.

Bad and good in the world
I know that there are people who could claim cultural differences but I personally cannot excuse animal cruelty in any way.
Good on you people of Montreal

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
They just ate 32 different dogs in place of those rescued. While pets are being euthanised in shelters in Canada for lack of adopting homes this effort isn't helping. There are people in cages in China that need rescuing and international condemnation isn't making any difference.
