I found this recipe online for lemon butter garlic chicken.  Holy cow, it was a keto or paleo recipe that used 1 stick of butter and 1/2 cup oil.  I left out the oil but the butter was disgusting.  I threw it out.

The Brooklyn style pizza from Dominos.  It is actually a million times better than their regular pizza.  Very thin.. but not huge enough.

Sobeys now sells bacon flavoured cheese.  Looks like nobody is buying it because it was on sale.

Went for high tea at Cafe Cristal. It was about $30.

Cheaper than Chateau Laurier but still pretty good

Bubble waffle (egg waffle) and strawberry bubble tea from Red Gables in Carp.   The waffle was kind of  pancake texture (not crispy at all).  It had whipped cream and fruit.  I got the bursting boba in my tea.  I think I prefer the regular tapioca pearls.

I made the adulterer's chili again
