I’ve listened to enough K-pop over the years to know what you mean about the ‘nega’ ubiquity....but until this interesting comment, I never thought to look up what it means. Google translate isn’t helping me, what is it? Is it like a preposition or something?

I drank a (canned!) Paloma last night that was made with a heavy shake of bitters and I enjoyed that addition a lot. My household is usually a craft beer zone but I’m feeling a desire to break out of that this summer - could definitely foresee pushing better homemade Palomas up the menu.

In Toronto, for decent bottles, yeah. The tax rate on wine is insane. It’s not the best deal on that list though. 

The year my dude and I were long distance (different parts of S. Ontario), we took a road trip to Chicago. We’d planned where to stop on the way there (crossed over at Sarnia, to pass through Kalamazoo and go to Bell’s) but besides crossing over at Fort Erie we hadn’t thought out the 9 hour drive back.

I used to live in Toronto. For several years now, I’ve lived in a smaller city within shouting distance of Toronto. There are many, many things I miss about the Big City Food Scene, and I’m mad that nowhere here will sell me a slice of pizza at 2 am...but I will go to the mat fighting that there are places here that…

Finally I feel like I align with the Takeout folk! My personal top 5 sandwiches are represented here and Kevin picked 3 of them, so there’s my vote. I respect and agree with Allison taking the Reuben first of all, though - I am powerless at a diner to choose another option if a Reuben is on the menu. Extra kraut,…

I never understood why people thought oysters were like boogers and this thread is finally illuminating why. Oysters are reserved for fancy/celebration events in my world (keep ‘em special) and I only go places that advertise where they’re from....which, around here in Ontario, is usually PEI or more rarely, off the…

Most of my friends have been coupled for ages and my dude and I are one of the first pairs to take the jump to getting married. We’ll have been together for over 8 years by our wedding date. I’d watch some movies about the weird wrinkles in communications and expectations that creates between my generation and the…

I’m fond of a block heel, if I’m going to wear one, and I sometimes think about how these designs fit into this larger legacy. Specifically, block heels are still heels and produce the different muscle posture of the legs/butt....but the shoes themselves are rarely the same kind of ‘elegant’ or ‘beautiful’ the way a…

I don’t know the Trolls soundtrack, but damn, this really did sound like a promo song for a wholesome summer movie that I probably wouldn’t see. Not terrible, but also, not really much of anything? Except colours, so many colours.

Hey, when I was out last night I spotted some Coke Life and thought of this comment. It was in a regular 500 mL plastic bottle in the drink case with the other kinds of Coke. Might be regional, but if you have Shoppers Drug Marts in your area check them for your wife’s fav! 

WHAT. I just looked up the Liberte website to check if the plum walnut was somehow regional and it’s entirely gone. The city where I went to university was much closer to where Liberte is produced and the number of flavours/options was always higher there than where I’ve moved since.....but had I known I would’ve…

On the one hand I agree with you but on the other, seven million subscribers.

I am looking for my community - who else indulges in fast food (kind of often...) but never ever gets a burger? Burgers don’t do it for me but that does not mean I’m above some convenient unhealthy happiness.

I miss my old Korean cafe, where they recognized me and remembered how extra-spicy I liked my soondubu jjigae.

This is what I wanna know. You’re going to make her a New Yorker who’s built her life around music and give it that title and not give me what I need?

I like a wrap dress, but I enjoy Small Titty Privilege on this fashion trend too - tie it up tight, no stress about potential escapees. They still will expose a bit more thigh than I might want if it’s windy but like....all dresses might.

Crossbody bags are all I buy. I frequently ride a bike and I’m small-chested. Given these conditions, the crossbody strap is highly practical with no downside.

Lately I’ve been realizing that my mom’s approach to which foods were allowed in the house growing up didn’t make any sense. Cereal is a great example. She made an effort when my brother and I were really little and mixed half honey nut, half regular Cheerios....then served it in the honey nut box. As we got older…

Most of the places I’ve been to that serve these have either some sort of creamy sauce or a shake of togarashi and I find them delicious. They’re also usually like $6 for a mountain of them so I’m all for it. A grilled pepper feels more virtuous than a fried sweet potato in the same creamy sauce and I enjoy both so…
