Ready... grow!

by Sabrina Tang
Last year we made the mistake of planting our seeds outside too early
and they got all eaten up by the squirrels and birds and rabbits and
duck (one; he's a mallard) of the neighbourhood.

This year, we're starting our seeds inside in the hopes that when
they're nicely sprouted the wildlife will be less interested.

So, we planted our seeds in some 'Jiffy Greenhouses' from Home Depot
last weekend and made a mini-greenhouse of our dining room. It's the
only sunlit spot in the house that we can keep the cat out of.

We'll see how this grows...

The Facebook litmus test

by Sabrina Tang
Too many 'friends' on Facebook? Here's a simple way to weed them out:
  1. Enable birthday notifications (under Account > Account Settings > Notifications > Has a birthday coming up (weekly email) ).
  2. Each week, see if you care enough to wish your 'friend' a Happy Birthday.

The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side

by Sabrina Tang

For us, it's literally.

We spent the better part of the weekend wreaking havoc on dandelions - but it's still a sorry sight compared to our neighbour's lawn.  When the winter snow melted away, his was the one lawn to emerge green and unscathed.

The secret is to be a semi-retired government worker with a lot of weed killers.

Best in Ottawa: Club Sandwich Edition

by Sabrina Tang
This is the first of some number of posts on my favourite restaurants in Ottawa.  I'm not committing to anything here.

Best Club Sandwich: Elgin Street Diner.
My go-to diner in town is the ESD.  I have many fond memories of after high school dance poutines (real cheese curds!) and thick yummy milk shakes.  I love the chalkboard menus, the awesome servers, and the speedy service.  

In recent years the menu has gotten pricer, the decor has gotten trendier, but the food remains as tasty as ever.

What makes the ESD club sandwich awesome:
  • Real chicken.
  • Mayo.
  • Fresh tomatoes.
  • Served with way too many crispy, potato-skin-still-on fries.
I'll admit - this award is based on part nostalgia, and part because I can't remember any club sandwich I've had anywhere else.  The Elgin Street Diner club sandwich annihilated competition on the memorable scale.  Annihilated!
