There is a local distillery that does these once in a while, but I was never brave enough to try.

If I’m dropping three figures on a steak, it had best be the greatest steak I have ever eaten.

Actually that looks pretty good.

We eat bananas that are just this side of yellow. Once they get fully yellow, they become...well, something. Generally a smoothie cause I panic, and my spouse can’t eat banana bread until next year.

Not often enough. We do spot cleaning when we remember, but if we want to get the drawers, we have to actually pull the fridge out, which is a bit of a trial. I try to wipe it down periodically, but a full deep clean? Rare.

That’s alarmingly good, honestly.

I don’t even know if I could find it again; it was several years ago at this stage. Might have been this one:

I used to make candied bacon butterscotch cookies.

Math? In this economy?

I love Tootsie Pops, and will tolerate no slander of them.

Greek donuts! Traditionally soaked in honey syrup, but ours will add all kinds of toppings.

There is a loukoumades shop by us now, and they always seem to give extra. Since tiny doughnuts are, and will always be, my jam, I do not complain.

Corn syrup? That’s what I learned to use.

I get it for taller women, honestly; society would have way more opinions on your relationship if you’re with a short dude, and that’s its own kind of tiring. But it does limit your options significantly for sure.

That is just so specific! Were the shelves in her house just absurdly high up? Like, I’m short and I like taller dudes, I won’t deny it, but my husband is 6'ish and that’s kind of my limit.

Those earrings actually are pretty cute, to be fair. Not enough for me to buy, mind, but cute.

I’ve been to Sault St.Marie exactly once, coming from Alberta to Ontario. It was neat! I don’t think we ate anywhere, I think my spouse just wanted to show me the rapids.

What makes it Franco-Canadian? The yellow split peas. And apparently it was developed in Sault Ste. Marie to feed Voyageur, but that might just be a myth.

It has a weird flavour, for sure. I do think it might be the amount of sugar just not meshing well with the espresso. Apparently the syrup is pumpkin puree, sugar, and condensed milk? I dunno, but it does taste off.

It’s so good!
