This week wasn't only experiments in the kitchen, it was also experiments in dining out. With a friend we sampled many Asian delicacies we hadn't tried before at the Crystal Mall food court in Burnaby. Yummy! 😋

This week's food experiment was individual muffin-tin focaccia, they are excellent and will definitely be making again! (the regular focaccia was my contingency plan if it all went horribly wrong 😁)

Curious what led to this specific blip, especially as the other milestones noted had no immediate impact on the graph at all.

Missing one of my guilty pleasures from our formerly regular visits to family in the USA so experimenting with recipes for Arby's Horsey Sauce. So far they're quite close and happily they contain only 5 or 6 basic items. "Real" Horsey Sauce contains 13 ingredients including high fructose corn syrup.

We don't need another province. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Image of a post from: A Canadian Outlook 

The Americans want guaranteed access to our energy and critical minerals. They want to dictate who we can trade with, our defence spending, and what languages we speak. They want tariff free access to our markets, it's like they want all the benefits of being a province without actually being one. 🇨🇦
