Basmati Rice (India)

Long grain rice from India. Packaged for the Co-op but is also available in many other places. It cooks quicker than normal and is less starchy than most I have used. Not good for forming but works well as a side or in soups. Is perfect for cabbage rolls as well. No infused flavours just good white rice. I rate this product 9/10.

No Birthday Whiskey For Me Thanks AKA Lucky To Be Alive

Image
I'm about to turn 57. I honestly thought I'd be dead by now for many reasons - mostly health. It's November 18, 2023 - but I'll be with friends for it on the 16th. We are going to Boston Pizza for lunch and I'll be having some pasta I love from there. I think it will be the last time I'll be going there for my birthday dinner, as the price went up from $15.99 last year to this year at $22.49. Or so I though LOL. Well after looking up the prices the other day and seeing this massive jump, I was like "DANG." Well I just today hit their site and did the "order online" thing to check the prices and it's still $15.99. I wish I'd have saved the source of the inflated price, but I didn't. I'd sure of have told people NOT to use that one. So looks like I'll be going back next year as well, unless I drop dead. I'll have enough on my gift card for the pasta and a soft drink of some kind. This is the only fuss I'll be making

What is Gender? (Opinion)

Well to me this is a complicated question. There is what strict old school science says it is, then there is what no gender conformists think it is. Also, there is what the avantguard of science say it is. On both sides of the coin there are people who demand that everyone agrees with them – this is true of literally everything people think, do, or believe in. Personally, I believe gender is of the mind and not of the body. I’m obviously a man to look at me. Genetics say I am a man, I have all the male parts, but I don’t identify as male. OK I do on forms use he/him, but I am in my mind fluid gender. To my brain what I am is in flux. I can feel female, and I can feel male, and I can feel in the middle. There is science behind this identity thing. When tested, chemically trans women are closer to women than men. Genetically they test as men of course. But the chemicals in their body tend to be more to the other side. There is of course, people who don’t test to have the altered chemistr

Café Gioia Espresso Review

Image
Grounds smell earthy. Smell is mild smelling and not overly complex. Just like regular discount coffee. Taste is dark, slightly bitter and a hint of dark chocolate and a very slight hint of hazelnut. Slightly burnt after taste and I was careful not to over brew it, so it is not on my end. Rating: 5/10 – but it is rather inexpensive.

CANADIAN TV SHOWS OF THE 1970'S

The Fifth Estate (1976 - Still Going) Documentary, News This was a show that I remember my Mom and Dad watching once a week. Later in life I watched it as well. I no longer watch it as I’m no longer interested in news. At the time in the 70’s I did not really get what it was all about, I just wanted to be with my parents while they watched it. My brother never did stay for it if I remember correctly. Hockey Night in Canada (1952 - Still Going) Sports Dad watched this all the time in the 70’s and 80’s then just kind of stopped. I now watch it on my own. I love Hockey and CFL (Canadian Football). At the time I just was there for it – was not interested in sports until I was much older. Marketplace (1972 - Still Going) News, Consumer Affairs This is the consumer affairs show in Canada. They document what a business is doing wrong to a customer or a group and then confront them with it on camera. They have effected change over the years and ran a few places out of business. I was inte
