  • Squirt bottle for (olive) oil. It is a lot more precise than simply pouring oil out of the bottle the oil comes in.

    Electric kettle. No fancy features, just a switch to start water boiling, which shuts off once it’s at a rolling boil

    Multishelf airfryer. It’s great for roasting small batches of vegetables (baby carrots, potatoes, cauliflower etc) without the guilt of firing up the big oven. It’s also great in the summer because it doesn’t heat up my apartment

    1.5qt sauce pan. It’s great for heating up small batches of soups, bbq beans etc. This is what I used to heat the water for my tea prior to purchasing the electric kettle

    I pretty much use all of these on a daily basis






  • Obligatory (there are several versions of this, but this is my favourite 😁 ):

    A World War II RAF pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force.

    “In 1942,” he says, "the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared.

    At this point, several of the children giggle.

    I looked up, and right above me was one of them. I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."

    At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, “I think I should point out that ‘Fokker’ was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company”

    “That’s true,” says the pilot, “but these fokkers were flying Messerschmits.”



  • We all believe in you! If you want to take your driving global, do it (just get a go-pro 1st so we can all witness)! 😂 In all seriousness though, I’ve never been to Canada so I don’t have any info to compare, but I’ve driven extensively in the US. There are really only 3 cities that scare the daylights out of me: Baltimore, Maryland, Houston, Texas, and Dallas, Texas - and that’s just highway driving, the suburbs are whole other kettle of fish. If you ever feel bad about your driving just google driving videos from one of those cities
