US outranked Canada this year. Quebec, if it was ranked on its own, comes in tied with 5th place Sweden. If you took it out of the Canadian results, Canada would drop even lower. Anyway, that’s what people here are talking about. Made me wonder how each US state would rank individually, but I...

Two first episodes were fun. Had to rewatch last season’s cliffhanger before watching part 2. The whole Gorn story was a tad unbelievable, but in a way that reminded me of TOS so, fun action (don't ask too many questions) with a sprinkling ofthrown in. The 2nd episode made me laugh, and also...

Cause this is what this is. Trudeau just finished speaking, and I’m watching Ford right now on CBC, and he’s angry. He may not be anyone I’d vote for if I were living in Ontario, but glad he’s not making maga excuses. Live updates...

Cindy Claveau Didn’t you once mention how you loved to watch Dr Pimple Popper? Well, this isn’t exactly a pimple popping thing, but just as satisfyingly gross. Everyone else, you have been warned.

I’ve never used puff pastry before. I want to make some savoury tarts (the whole rectangle) and found two recipes I want to try, (caramelized onions, figs, goat cheese, and the other, mushrooms and Boursin). In both recipes, they don’t blind bake the pastry first, but when you go on the...
