Salt is salt. We have a box of table salt, and I bought fancy grey salt on sale once—but I really can’t differentiate between them, so I just sprinkle some salt in my baking and hope for the best. It works out alright.

Your corn articles always make me so damn nostalgic. I appreciate them.

The timing for this is good, because my husband recently bought cucumbers—forgetting, apparently, that he can’t eat them right now unless they are minced into oblivion. I think I will give this a go.

It was chunks of carrot cake in cheesecake, if I recall correctly. I’ve made a bastardized version, with cheesecake over the carrot cake base instead of chunks of cake in the batter, and it’s pretty fantastic.

A (now closed) pub near me used to make a carrot cake cheesecake. It was cheesecake with chunks of carrot cake inside, and I loved it.

Once upon a time, Starbucks carried an orange spiced iced coffee, which I loved. I have never been able to recreate it.

It depends. If I’m somewhere in Canada, I’ll look up places to eat. If I’m abroad, I’m willing to wander into a place and hope for the best. I’m usually interested in what, rather than where.

Good timing: I just made coleslaw today.

Boone’s used to be pretty common in Canada, as I recall; I think it’s largely been superseded by Arbour Mist. At least in Ontario—I can’t speak for the rest of the country, as I moved East long after I realized there was better alcohol out there than Boone’s.

Breakups should not take place in public. Unless you are afraid the other person will turn violent or aggressive, and you want a lot of witnesses and don’t have any scary friends available.

Update: Not bad! Next time I’m going to reduce the condensed milk and maybe add another orange, but as it is? Like a dessert drink.

Good call.

Maybe. I’m intrigued.

What I’m reading here is that I live next to the most boring grocery store in Eastern Ontario, because I haven’t seen any of that.

Would the limeade work with blood oranges, do you think? I foolishly bought some, forgetting that blood oranges are better in winter.

This sounds fantastic.

There are so many applications, you will not regret it. Potato patties with gochujang and cheese are a favourite. And you can add an egg! I get a lot of mileage out of your air fryer egg suggestion.

Your palate and mine agree.

Fried kimchi, peanut butter, and red peppers are my favourite ingredients to put in pasta. Kimchi in general is delicious, of course.

I have some red cabbage to use, and it cannot become cabbage rolls at this time (my usual response to cabbage).  I think I am going to make this cabbage dish.
