Throw in a crème anglaise and you got some serious moves.
Oh shit I actually have that game-on already!
Mrs. P loves her drinking custard so I make it as a treat every now and then. Often I’ll give a bowl of it and she’s all happy until she finds that’s it’s a bowl of custard *hiding a chocolate muffin" where she becomes overjoyed so all is well.

I got into pastries during lockdown and I can make very nice ones but shit they’re a lot of work.

I gave up on them along time ago, figured out the exact lesson and also if i made them i would eat them, better just to not make them and have them as a treat occasionally while supporting some independent buisness making a living making those tasty treats

I would do this. In fact I do for chocolate croissants (butter-baker.com) but it’s expensive and is a rare treat. Mrs Foreigner always gets me one of their cakes for my birthday.
There is sparse independent business near me. It’s either loblaws or the Asian grocery.
Loblaws makes some half decent turnovers but it’s a stretch to call them pastries.

If you jump on the ferry, I live about 3 minutes from the dock on the island, smokes-a-Hoy 
Some of the best sushi I’ve had, that isn’t a mortgage payment, is just out of van in Chilliwack… If you’re interested, I’ll find the name. It gets you a little closer to the mountains too, if it’s a nice day, it’s a great place to sit back and enjoy (there’s a pub in the same strip that has a patio too )

I absolutely agree, good sushi is worth the trip! The place is called Hana Sushi in Chilliwack. Either they have taken over the pub at the end, or my mind is playing with me (very likely there days, lol), but in either case they have a patio to enjoy the sushi on

Anyone else notice the price of olive oil has gone up a lot? Just read an article that its up an average of 15 percent worldwide. bought some yesterday and it was 50 percent higher and i thought itvwas a mistake, nope, new normal for every brand in the store. What cost 10 dollars just 2 weeks ago is now running me 15. Wow, just wow.

Good score!

I’d read that as “I tried it once, that quarter oz of nugs added to nothing.”
