CBC @cbcnews.ca needs their version of The Wirecutter, but for Canadian-made products. I need a new set of stainless steel pots and pans and I want impartial reviews of Paderno and Lagostina sets but I’ll never trust a retailers website.

If anyone knows a really great place to get a facial massage here where they do myofascial therapy. I keep being advertised stuff on the mainland and across Canada but my jaw hurts here.

This is unacceptable Victoria. Let’s catch this guy and make sure he does time for a violent assault and has a record. Hopefully there is footage that can be found.
At about noon my friend who works the Bike Valet was assaulted.

They were cycling to work WB in the Pandora bikelane and got cut off by a driver turning into McDonald's. Words exchanged; my pal left. The driver followed on foot to the Bike Valet, punched them in the face and fled.

Delicious orange chocolate latte from Bunny’s Kitchen in Esquimalt. I also got a giant Biscoff bonanza square because who can resist those? It is pretzel, marshmallow, chocolate and Biscoff cookie butter aka speculoos also mixed into a sweet and salty heavenly square.

My household is still recovering from Hallowe’en weekend illnesses being passed around. We’ve lost more than 2 weeks to presumably colds. Testing negative for vid, not that that isn’t a false negative but it hasn’t presented like anything but a cold. My point is don’t screw around. Get your shots.

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects.

But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell.

That’s not even the worst part!

I recently learned Plantitude in #Ladysmith is closing at the end of December and me and the partner decided to forego our weekend chores and drive up there for a late brunch linner.

Glad to learn the new biz taking over the space will keep some of the vegan menu items and baked treats.

Why are these headshots in “advertise with us section” of a Shoppers Drug Mart Ai generated cartoons in two different styles. Do Beatriz and Gaby exist?

Yay! It’s night again. I was getting tired of the pesky sun with its life-giving forces anyway. Me and my worms (in my worm compost bin and brain) we love darkness.

I finally got the cold that all my parent friends had 6-8 weeks ago. Thanks a lot Hallowe’en shenanigans! The Other Guise butcher themed Haunted House on Johnson St (extremely spooky already to this vegan) was well worth it.

Halibut House in the Saanich Core makes this tofu and veggie black bean stir-fry on rice for a fresh lunch option Tuesday-Sunday.

Their dinner menu is vegan-friendly and they will even make some off-menu favourites like mapo tofu. Just ask!

Vegan tacos on the Sunshine Coast last month. This were from a spot called Aquí Es Mexico in a tiny strip mall in Madeira Park. Lacking protein and smaller portions but 10/10 on flavour.

Homemade Filipino kaldereta stew on a cozy fall day. This is a vegetable broth, mushroom powder, and tomato based stew either carrots, potato, garlic, peppers, chilis and soy-mushroom mock beef from King’s Vegetarian Cafe in Toronto (Taiwanese imports).

Still looking for more skilled folks to join the Back End of CFS!
Community Food Support is desperately seeking more Back-End Volunteers to keep the program alive.

We deliver 80+ free food hampers to recipients in #YYJ each week from the Quadra Village Community Centre gym, but much takes place behind the scenes beforehand to make that possible.

The local Victoria Nextdoor community is insular and overrun with bike and pedestrian-hating retirees, it is basically an alternate reality. If you are under 60 and have the fortitude, please make an account on that app and stick up for bike lanes and walkability.

As a Torontonian, I should be going wild but I remember seeing them win the 1993 World Series on TV while up at the cottage and that’s good enough for me. I don’t watch a lot of men’s sports these days.
