  • Look, I support bars making their restrooms gender neutral but I have an irrational fear of making eye contact with a man while he’s using the urinal which makes me extra observant of men at the urinals so I don’t accidentally stare into their eyes. Please just tell me which washroom has the urinals so I can avoid it.



  • I’m not a plant person but I do make my own dyes and pigments from organics. One of the ingredients I use to precipitate the pigment, or as a mordant, which can change the colour, is aluminum sulphate - also used as plant fertilizer to raise soil acidity.

    The chemicals that produce colour in plants are super sensitive to PH, there’s a plant based paint company, I think in Europe somewhere, that makes everything from green to red to blue out of just red cabbage.

    I don’t know if that’s what’s happening here, but it is indeed super neat.


  • Ordering from Sysco is the same as going to a giant grocery store. Quality entirely depends on how much effort they put into it.

    That said, I still get annoyed when I order at a high end place and I can tell they used some sysco pre-made sauce instead of their own recipe. Don’t get me started on pre-packaged hollandaise, it tastes like miracle whip.


  • A random delivery from a place I can’t remember the name of in Vancouver. The cheese was fresh and thick, the veggies were fragrant, the sauce was sweetly herbal with a hint of red wine, the pepperoni was perfectly crispy and the dough was soft and firm in all the right ways with that just-baked-bread earthy musk.

    When I tried to order again they’d just shut down. That pizza was too pure for this world.
